Telling All The Stones "We're Gonna Make A Building!"

Hate is obviously looked down upon by society but, "During times of war hatred becomes quite respectable, even though it has to masquerade often under the guise of patriotism." I feel as though this words are prophetic to times like today.

Jesus was a revolutionary born in a middle eastern state controlled by a western imperial power, under threat of a genocide for fear he would try to take control of this nation, became a refugee, spoke out against the powers and principalities of this world and then was put to death by the religious and governmental institutions (and nearly everybody else). After his death, resurrection and ascension into heaven his followers (for the first few hundred years) refused to take part in governmental activities such as worshipping their leader and taking up arms against one another. Even writing a book against this western imperial power using religious language the westerners couldn't understand about how it will fall and this middle eastern nation will be restored (you might know it as the Book of Revelation, but there's some other ones we don't have in our Bible as well).

If you are an american or from any other western nation today this situation might sound awkwardly familiar to you. Maybe people in these western nations need to think more about the history their religion is built upon and reevaluate their actions.
