Jesus Christ , Genghis Khan and the Prime Minster [View all]

[Bread and Circuses]

Hi,

I hope this doesn’t offend anyone from different cultures, religions, or backgrounds. I’m not a scholar of world religions or ancient history.

It seems to me that the gentleman is suggesting that evil in the world can’t be stopped by Jesus Christ—Yeshua—who taught love and peace.

What do you think?

My own view: I’m on the side of Yeshua and other wisdom teachers. When someone tries to justify their actions by claiming they’re acting as a kind of “backup quarterback” for the Divine/Holy/Sacred teachers…..

transcript :
You know, one of the greatest writers of the 20th century, someone that I admire a lot, was the historian Will Durant. Now, he wrote many volumes. I read most of them. He also wrote The Lessons of History, a very brief, 100-page book, in which he said, well, history proves that, unfortunately and unhappily, Jesus Christ has no advantage over Genghis Khan. Because if you are strong enough, ruthless enough, powerful enough, evil will overcome good. Aggression will overcome moderation. So you have no choice. If you look at the world as it is today, you have to be blind not to see that the democracies led by the United States have to reassert their will to defend themselves. And to oppose their enemies in time, while there’s still time, before the jarring gong of danger wakes them up and wakes them up too late. This is where we are now.
