Stereotypologies
If you were a Christian
during various Inquisitions
and pogroms against Jewish communities
and aboriginal tribes,
If you had been a Christian slave owner
trading lack of co-empathic love
for your zealous theoretical salvation agenda,
Would a faithful Moslem or Jewish witness
reasonably assume
your being Christian
also means you are a proud and loyal member
of a terrorist cult for hate and death
of other cultures
other Earth pilgrims
with diverse experiences and beliefs?
Would nonChristians reasonably express concern
about your commitment to strong family values
and sacred scriptural hospitality?
Have concerns about your healthy capacity
for Wonder and Awe
confronted by vast diversity
of lilies in fields
trees in forests
fish in seas.
And, if you personally believed in an omnipotent God
of and for multicultural Peace on Earth,
as in Heaven,
then you would not choose to remain
a terrorist,
a monoculturing
supremacist
SuperElite Christian
entitled to declare international Inquisitions
for crimes against WinLose Capital Worship
as you and your personal tyrannical idols
assume to be pathological-power appropriate,
sufficient,
efficient for colonizing the hopeless
nature/spirit
Here/Now
secular/sacred aliens
And ego-supremely harvesting diversely commodified lilies,
and trees
and fish
to extinction of Earth's multiculturally graced health.
If you were a Jesus follower,
would you aspire to any less than
a dual vocation?
