Day 26

In the light of what happened to Jesus on the cross, there were and there are no good guys, certainly not the religious communities that put him on the cross.  Even the spiritually hungry who flocked to hear his words turned on him at his hour of crisis.  This is who we are, either we are stuck in a prideful box canyon of religious dogma or we run scared from exercising the faith that is fundamental to spiritual growth.  So, we can ask, who is righteous?  Since there is a God of love, the broad stroke of humanity must have some spiritual meaning, both for the rich and poor, the successful and the failures, the believers and the agnostics, the socially acceptable and the despised, the folk in the church pew and the folk in the bars, the have’s and the have not’s.  The love of God has been extended for everyone, for all.  All is a little word that brings clarity to the scriptures, at least, for me, check it out.  Our drive for spiritual authenticity has always been a part of our shared character as humans and is present in every culture, more often than not, however, religion of every strip, just gets in the way.
