The ancient story of Cain and Abel found in the 4th chapter of Genesis puts on display a sinful act of violence, brother against brother.
This narrative speaks volumes relative to the current enduring inclination toward violence as a means to an end. Despite our monumental technological achievements, including the ability to launch civilians into space. We are able to move beyond the gravitational pullings experienced on earth, yet many people remain pulled down and tethered, to a primal predisposition toward violence.
Todays episode is the second part of a brief series on Christian Nationalism entitled “The Enduring Sin of Cain and Abel in Modern Society”
The dark truths from the Cain and Abel story still loom over our nation today. This ancient narrative reminds me of the Christian Nationalist movement's deceptive appeal to the base instincts of human nature. Why do I call it a deceptive appeal? Because it exploits a predisposition towards violence, disguising it’s malice in the sanctity of religious rhetoric, while completely ignoring the authentic teachings of Jesus.
