COMMUNISM: A resister writes

To the Communist Party and supporters. You removed us from the public square/life in 2008.

You tried to take our First Amendment away, tried to keep us from speaking “Merry Christmas, and God bless you.” You and your party spread antisemitism throughout this land. You burned down our churches. You tried to take Easter from us spring of 2020.

So much HATE.

You arrested us for singing in public, refusing to wear your “mark.” (Your “test” of sheep numbers. We’re not blind. You’re taking note.)

You’re trying to starve us of our spiritual nourishment by banning service and gatherings. Now, you are banning public figures from wearing crosses, you’re trying to take Thanksgiving, and soon Christmas as usual.

So much HATE.

We, as God’s children, can only have God’s love for you.

Perhaps this picture/message will aid in your comprehension: Whoville center/public square.

You won’t deter us.

The buildings you took/burned/destroyed are simply four walls with a roof.

We the people are the Church, the body of Christ.

We’d rather stand with God and be judged by you/the world, than to stand with the you/world and be judged by God.

We won’t disappear into a hole to quiver.

We won’t cower.

We won’t waver.

We won’t go away.

WE WILL continue to take up our crosses, lift up our voices in song and praise, wish you “Merry Christmas & God Bless you” until we too, like with Moses, are set free.
