And what is almost as galling is that pointing out these devastating effects on the poor and saying that the wealthy should bear a heavier part of the load is almost certain to be dismissed as "class warfare" by a very vocal and influential group. Isn't the willingness to cut the poor first the REAL class warfare?
"We are all God's children" sounds awfully close to the line Paul quotes -- apparently in agreement -- when he is speaking to the Greek philosophers in Acts 17... "as even some of your own poets have said, 'For we too are his offspring.' Since we are his offspring..."
So I don't think I'd at all agree with the idea that it's utterly false and sloppy theology.
Official rhetoric has helped fuel an escalation of tension between the United States and Iran. Do recent negotiations mark a change in direction, or just a temporary detour from the highway to military attack?

Read EVERY WORD...
Not only did I not get a headache, but I found it moving, thought-provoking, and ultimately grace-filled.
