“Race was a word that bred arrogance, danger and violence. When had incitement to race served a peaceful purpose? Race was a fuel and it needed only a match to light it.

“I would hope that wherever I go I bring good news - that's what that word means, right? It began with the first followers of Jesus taking a Roman military propaganda term and co-opting it for their own subversive purposes, insisting that the world isn't made better through coercive military violence but through sacrificial love. How great is that!? Unfortunately this word has been hijacked in several years for other purposes but no worries, we're taking it back.” WorldYearsFirstsMeanHas BeensMadePurposeJesusTermWorryViolenceMilitaryNewsPropagandaFollowersGood NewsSubversiveInsistingNo WorriesSacrificial Love Author:Rob Bell
“In my opinion while lynchings were quite possibly the most heinous crimes ever witnessed in American history, they helped in bringing people together for a sole purpose. It was because of these lynchings that armed self-resistance was created.

In order to make room for it, the world needed to be rid of its non-perfect models.” PeopleWorldWellsPersonsPurposeOrderPerfectRoomsEffortViolenceBuildingNeededModelsIdealsCommunismImperfectNazismIdeal Society Author:Mart Laar
“The controversy over Russian gas deliveries shines a glaring spotlight on the risks involved in this industry.

“The only proper, moral purpose of a government is to protect man's rights, which means: to protect him from physical violence - to protect his right to his own life, to his own liberty, to his own property and to the pursuit of his own happiness.
