I don't go to church, but it appears to me that pretty much all the churches in this country stay totally silent about war. In fact, when I talk about the evils of war to my relatives who do go to church, they just look at me like I'm crazy and have nothing to say. I once asked a friend if her minister ever talked about war in church. She said no, because he didn't want to offend anyone who might be pro-war. How sick is that??? I think that if a large number of churches would hold anti-war protests, it would at least bring it into people's consciousness. But that's only if they could get enough members to participate, and the protests would get any media coverage at all, both of which are doubtful.

All true and worse today than it was then. I'm having to take a morsel of joy from this originally being published on my birthday, to distract myself from the real content.

I was thinking today of how we are being institutionalized by the very societies we live in. Conditioned by propaganda, to accept what we are told and to question nothing. The sheer scale of the lies is so vast, it is difficult not to be overwhelmed by it. The worse thing for me is, that the more you become aware, the more you understand that you are only scratching the surface.
