Amen, amen I say to you Chris Hedges. As a theologian and activist, I, like you, am committed to DOING theology in the way that all the great warriors you mentioned in this piece have done before us. Your words gave me hope and inspiration. Keep speaking your truth. Peace, Jim Keady
Thank you sir. You are right. If OWS fails, or does not get the support of those of moral conscience, the entire world will be destroyed. Both parties are tools of the corporate state.
religion is not the only thing that has created ideologues willing to kill for the state. humans can rationalize anything, and demonizing is not just a religious occupation.
As an atheist, and an Occupier that was arrested in St Louis for "curfew violation" when I refused to vacate our public space, I will join arms, and stand in solidarity with this man, for as long as it takes to achieve the changes he so eloquently outlined in his speech. Thank you Chris Hedges for speaking truth to power!
Religion, comprises a system of wishful illusions together with a disavowal of reality, such as we find in an isolated form nowhere else but in amentia, in a state of blissful hallucinatory confusion.
All natural institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian, or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions, set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit.
Brilliant!

When these right-wingers call OWS, "dirty hippies," just say, "like Jesus."

Thank you Chris Hedges! for your courage, action with your conviction and your sacrifice to do so.
I look forward to hearing all of your lectures and reading your books and weekly written sermons at truthdig.com
I've read so many of the authors/activists you quote and reference. Thank you, you have opened my eyes to a far greater and illuminated point of view.
Amazing as always!
