The latest act carried out at the Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC, by James Wenneker Von Brunn, 88, is the most recent incident in a long line of hate crimes carried out by those who consider themselves America's conservatives.
This needs to stop. When did we decide that we hated each other so much? Do Fox News' and conservative pundits have a role to play in this? These are questions we need to ask ourselves.
Hate does not belong in a free society. We need to replace this dark emotion with curiosity about the other, which leads to understanding.
Remember what Jesus said in the Sermon on the Mount:
Therefore if you are presenting your offering at the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your offering there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and present your offering.
Make friends quickly with your opponent at law while you are with him on the way, so that your opponent may not hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and you be thrown into prison. Truly I say to you, you will not come out of there until you have paid up the last cent.
