The Wild Hunt (https://wildhunt.org/tag/confederate-monuments)
In the wake of a golden statue of Donald Trump being unveiled in Florida, Karl E.H. Seigfried examines the use of monuments in the U.S. – a story full of accusations of ‘pagan idolatry’ that has far more basis in the Bible and politics.
In direct contrast to the supposedly universal “golden rule” and the “turn the other cheek” message of Christ, Odin teaches that we have no responsibility to be love our enemies. That particular Heathen teaching is a large part of what leads someone like me to be uncomfortable with some of Martin Luther King’s principles, but it does not mean that the embrace of violence is the answer.”
