No wonder your parents rebelled against their upbringing/ background of torture and horror. I’m sorry that your father died so young from such a horrendous disease. I imagine that if they were alive , they’d be horrified at the state of humanity and the planet, and would be open to a real, all- the-way revolution.Thanks for this timely and provocative essay.
When ever I contemplate religion I go to Spinoza god not the Bible god. “Einstein believed in Spinoza’s god.” Or the Lakota prayer: Mitakuye Oyasin. These two words mean “All My Relations” or “We are All Related” and then eastern religions thought, dualism vs non dualism.
Please see this video in which leading Revcom Sunsara Taylor talks about the Biblical story of Joshua and Jericho and what it says about Israel's war claims today: https://www.tiktok.com/@therevcoms/video/7306957398399356202
This was a fucking joy to read.
Thnx. Lotsa left folks don't want to see this, trust me, so I appreciate you adding a friendly comment.
