Make one's mind go hmmmmmm?

It is my belief that there is a tendency, among some, in the US LRC today, to consider that white folks are getting what was coming to them. In terms of having cultural elements other than their own mixed up with their "spirituality". With all the confusion and discontent that inevitably accompanies that.

What can you say? It's an open secret that Christian culture throughout the world too often tends to emmulate white American culture. Hard to be so critical when the same thing seems to be happening in reverse, as it were.

All I know is, this whole notion of "Building up the Body of Christ", if it is indeed something real, can it really be helped by revenge? Is there any place for spite there?

(And if so, isn't this just another human organization, kinda like any other?)
