"But let none of you suffer as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or as a busybody in other people’s matters."
That's I Peter 4:15, and I nominate it as the new inscription chiseled over the entrance of every bureaucracy, whether national, state, or local, the Congress and local legislatures, the White House, police precincts, military installations, and courthouses. It may not trouble unregenerate bloodsuckers, but hopefully it will give pause to "Christians" who "work" for the State, murdering, thieving, committing evil and meddling in our matters on our dime. And it will remind the hapless serfs forced to enter those buildings of the State's antipathy to all things decent.
Thanks to Joshua Bennett and my other siblings in the Lord here at Patriot's Lament who've invited me to join them. I'm deeply honored. And I'd love to hear from you, the readers who make the audience of Patriot's Lament so special! You can either comment below or email me at libertatem[at]aol.com.
We tend to like the scriptures which tell us to not do the things we're not really very tempted by. Makes us feel better than those who are.
