Collapse of Complex Societies
In Chris Hedges' vision, the forces that drive the current climate crisis, that drive the planet beyond its carrying capacity and fuel the unfolding extinction event, are the same forces that have invaded and ultimately invalidated our so-called democratic processes. This is a largely unchecked corporate power, driven by a logic of growth and profit-making, that arguably leaves the rest of us little option other than mass disobedience and a grass roots reclaiming of the power of
the streets.

When I see your accomplishments I am proud of you When I see your disgraceful actions I feel ashamed I care not what color you are or where you live because I KNOW that you are my brother . So why do we let them say we are not brothers that to kill you is my duty and my life is yours to take How is it we let them turn our love into hate and when did we forget that we were brothers . I love the way you care for your children I love the way you smile at your daughter’s wedding I cry when I see you bury your sons during wartime and I mourn alongside of you at their funerals . We are all fighting the wrong enemy and in doing so we have misplaced our supreme gifts When we let bullets fly our voices no longer rejoice and our music is silenced by the sound of bombs . So let me say this to you my brothers and sisters My children are not your enemies, nor am I We are all fighting the wrong enemy sit and let us speak, so I can show you who they are...

Wow, you have the call of God on your life. As a missionary Ide feel more comfortable if you was coming in the name of Christ. Our victories rarely ever come from God unless He is the one who we are coming in. All other victories are fleeting. We can talk about love and forgiveness. But as Christians our love and our hope are overshadowed with the gospel message and a deep desire to share that gospel message. It is the foundation and sacrifice of all our love. We dare not build upon another foundation without that voice. You brought some really great ideas to the pulpit. But you didnt bring Christ. Ironic. Your standing in front of a cross without a gospel message. Dont get me wrong. Im happy for all the wonder things you have done, the battles you have been. But are you sure you have the right message? Maybe its time you answer the call of God, and put a gospel message to al that bad news. Gospel = Good news

He could have done this whole speech without Christ talk at all. Religious delusion poisons everything. Wouldn't God be another tyrant but not one you choose to defy, instead that you choose to serve. Nothing he says is more relevant than today though. Much love.

Very entertaining but please stop using Moby Dick as a metaphor for global capitalism. Instead use Little Red Ridinghood since people today are so involved with peophiles. You can use this in regards to the obsession people have with gingerbread houses-or was that another child fable ? Anyway, kindly write anew sermon for the Uboob audience. Oh,, make-up an entire sermon about “magic Jesus”, I just lov e hearing about him.
