Church Support for War Created Social Justice Rage
David Gornoski

All participation in the scapegoat phenomenon is the same sin of the persecution of Christ. And all human beings commit this sin.”
Don’t Let the Left (and the Right) Steal “Social Justice”
Dr. Jamin Andreas Hübner
“There is no sport for the ignoramus like killing a useful word.” –Owen Barfield, World’s Apart, 1963 The meaning of words can be killed in countless ways
