Our entire life is a quest for love. At least it should be. But many in the “Love Thy Neighbor” crowd seem to have lost sight of that message. These religious zealots have forgotten this essential ingredient; so do they even know their God?

The citizens of our nation — White and Black — seem unwilling to aspire to America’s ideals even though we all proclaim to love liberty, justice and equality. … Equal citizenship under the Constitution is a mirage that Blacks have wandered towards for generations across a desert of institutionalized persecution

Believing that America is a perfect nation because of God’s influence makes everything worse. Any concept of God should begin with love and tolerance towards all His creation. America’s past and present belies any national claim we may make regarding our connection to divinity. Any god who would sanction all of America’s endeavors could not possibly be a righteous god.
