Thou shalt shoplift
The Reverend Tim Jones has been widely quoted as advocating shoplifting in his latest sermon.
Oh how the nail gets hit on the head on occasion…
His ‘highly irresponsible message’ was widely condemned and, just as widely, deliberately misunderstood.
As a society we are happy to sacrifice people who don’t ‘fit’. So, if you are out of work, elderly, vulnerable, or generally just don’t fit the norm then ‘get used to it’ is the message. Maybe we should give these people the opportunity to travel to Dignitas on the NHS and get themselves out of our misery?
Hang on, ‘we’ create a World that favours the greedy and selfish and then complain when those less fortunate can’t cope but offer them no options…
Sorry, I agree with the Reverend, while it’s not acceptable to shoplift it’s loads better than being forced into prostitution.
It’s a sad reflection on our selfish, self-centred, materialistic existence that we turn a blind eye to those that can’t cope with our fast-paced, ‘meaningful’ lives and are quite prepared to sacrifice them for the ‘greater good’ (i.e. our greater good) rather than changing things for the better.
Stop sniping at Reverend Tim Jones, he just pointed out how selfish we all are…
