Should i punch a bible full of fake blood to make a point?
My city council has gradually been taken over by conservatives who have deprived the least fortunate in my community of what they need. They literally forced a homeless shelter called the Jesus Center to close and move and shrink its services down so they could build luxury apartments in its place. Next, they spent $400,000 in taxpayer money on an outdoor ice skating rink in a city that does not get under 30°F in the winter and it's not open the majority of the year. We're deep in a valley in California and it's HOT. There are many, many homeless just being shoved around in triple digit weather right now. The shelters are all full. All the recycling centers within town were removed as well so the homeless cannot make money that way.
I am a Christian Quaker and recently learned of an early abolitionist named Benjamin Lay. After a passionate speech against slavery, he stabbed the Bible with a sword, causing juice to spill out. I obviously can't bring a sharp object, but I think I can have the same effect by hollowing out a Bible of mine and punching it instead after repeating the Sheep and Goat pronouncement from the Gospel of Matthew.
There's a specific reason I'm going at this from a religious angle. I'm tired of people who call themselves Christians treating other human beings in this way. These people should still be treated with humanity regardless of any type of sin that may have caused their homelessness.
