In The Name Of God Quotes

“There is much in Judeo-Christian doctrine and history that can be used to support a peace system, but it is so far a minor current. The main stream has adopted the violent, dominator mode of late Palestinian Judaism with its foundation in Old Testament holy war. It is a somber fact of history that in the name of Christ men have murdered and condoned murder, tortured women and children, slaughtered in war, and executed each other without remorse. The Crusaders saw Jesus in terms of their own society, that is, as their feudal lord.”

“In The Name of God
***
O Almighty God
Take out my emotions
Turn off my eyes
Close my ears
I am powerless, compelled
And tired
I cannot bear any more
To see the sufferings of
Your created people
On the blue planet
The colour of love, peace
And brotherhood become
The pain, and rain,
With the human blood
We fight
In the name of you
We kill each other
In the name of you
We make divisions
In the name of you
We force, we hate
In the name of you
Knowing that
You are love, peace
Justice, and protector
For all universes
O God
Our heart and soul holder
Give us new wisdom, feeling
To make shelters rather than bombs.”
