Left-influenced Christians putting on a display of righteousness



They don't seem to have read Matthew 6: 1-6 or Matthew 23:23. "Apologies" seem to be big among Leftists. Leftists are good at empty words. Comments below by David Yeagley, ancestrally a Comanche
"What’s wrong with this picture?

Members of the Texas Apostolic Prayer Network (TXAPAN) kneel before Comanche Nation chairman Michael Burgess and two other Comanches, and “apologize” for a “battle” at Palo Duro Canyon in 1874.

This story was told on the front page of the Comanche Nation News, June edition, 2010. The dramatic prayer incident took place this past April 23 and 24. To my knowledge, this event was not advertised among the Comanche people, nor was there any general invitation given. The June edition in the Comanche paper is the first I knew of it. I know I’m not the only Comanche that was unaware of it.

This event is ironic, the history dubious, and, in my opinion, the incident somewhat egregious. With all due respect for my beloved Comanche people and our leaders, I beg to differ with the idea that anyone owes Comanches an apology, or that Comanches need to offer forgiveness to anyone. Indeed, if Comanches accept apologies from anyone, then Comanches need to go and offer their apologies to the Apache, the Spanish, and the Texans.

After all, Comanches were the aggressor -–first toward other Indians, then toward the Spanish and Mexican population, in Mexico and in Texas. That the white Texans should finally out-gun and out-number the Comanche is no reason for the Texans to apologize. And Comanches certainly owe the Texans no apology. The Comanches were themselves invaders of the territory occupied by others. Then Comanches became victims of invasion.

It's ridiculous this obsession today for people and governments to "apologize" to other groups and nations for what their forebears may have done - it's a creepy form of vicarious guilt-tripping, no better than a form of masturbation. Nobody is responsible for what their parents or ancestors or compatriots may have done in the past, and the farther back in the past the more ridiculous it is to apologize.

We can't choose our parents, but we can choose how we influence the world. Leftists prove time and again that they are completely ignorant of that fact.

I can't believe all those people were alive in 1874.

Oh wait, they weren't!

You guys are right, but if they complain enough they just may get a HUGE check from Uncle Sam! And, therein lies the true motive. Being "offended" has become a multi-Billion dollar industry.
