powerful words, beautiful words
brueggemann on an 'imperial reality': "Imperial economincs is designed to keep people satiated so that they do not notice. Its politics is intended to block out the cries of the denied ones. Its religion is to be an opiate so that no one discerns misery alive in the heart of God." sounds a little like the reality of where we live.... and here is what brueggemann suggests as to combat this: "Passion as the capacity and readiness to care, to suffer, to die, and to feel is the enemy of imperial reality" powerful words, beautiful words.
