people who wish they could hit/bite/spit/kick/cuss

I have a confession. Sometimes I feel like life would be better if I could hit/bite/kick/spit/cuss more regularly. I am not categorically justifying this behavior. As a matter of fact, I have three sons, and I spend a lot of time telling them NOT to do these things. However, I recognize and empathize with their frustrations. Life is NOT fair. People are mean. Politicians are deceiving. Governments are corrupt. Stuff breaks. So this group is for people who SEE and FEEL this frustration. Perhaps it has to do with the human that toilet papered your yard. Perhaps it is the proliferation of internet pornography. Perhaps it is the fact that some governments allow young girls to be sold into prostitution. This is a place to vent, but also a place to connive, strategize, network and strive for a more Christ-like society.

So, this group is intended to bring to light that bad things are happening and we need to recognize them. Conscientious people (this especially means Christians) are supposed to be among the ones who want to DO SOMETHING about injustice. There are too many people who are of the NOT-DO-SOMETHING category. This is not good. I could go into the theology of this but I will spare you a sermon. Suffice it to say that the Bible tells us to be a part of bringing in shalom (peace). It means stepping into chaos ready to act, instead of running away.

SO please contribute something to this discussion. Whatever strikes you. Come on.
