How to Conquer a Death Cult

by Andrew Torba

There are moments in history when the veil is lifted, and the true nature of an ideology is laid bare for all to see. The aftermath of the cowardly assassination of Charlie Kirk was one of those moments. While patriots across America mourned the loss of a bold voice for freedom, truth, and the future of our nation, the Left erupted in celebration.

They laughed. They cheered. They shared memes. They hailed the murderer as a hero. They desecrated the memory of a man gunned down for the simple act of speaking truth.

This is not an anomaly. This is not the work of a few bad apples. This is the logical endpoint of liberalism: a death cult that worships at the altar of destruction.

At its core, this ideology venerates death. It champions the right to end innocent life in the womb, rebranding the slaughter of the unborn as “healthcare” and a sacred right. It encourages the chemical and surgical mutilation of healthy young bodies, a grotesque parody of medicine that severs the individual from their own biological reality. It pushes policies that dissolve the fundamental bonds of family and community, leaving isolated, atomized individuals adrift in a meaningless sea of consumer choices and state dependency.

Now, they celebrate political assassinations.

This is who they are. This is what they believe in. There is no life in their ideology only decay, degradation, and death. They cannot create, so they destroy. They cannot build, so they tear down. They cannot defend truth, so they silence those who speak it.

Charlie Kirk was a threat to them not because he was violent, not because he preached hatred, but because he represented something they despise: life, vitality, courage, and a future for our people. He stood for the America they are trying to erase. In their twisted world, the murder of a young man with a family, friends, and a mission is cause for joy. In their moral vacuum, the blood of the innocent is just another tool in their war against God, nature, and order.

We see you. We see your hatred. We see your emptiness. We see the hollow, lifeless eyes of a movement that has nothing left to offer but destruction, and we will not be silenced. We will mourn Charlie. We will honor his legacy. We will continue his work. And we will remember this moment, the moment the death cult showed its true face to the world.

They think this will frighten us into submission. They are wrong. It only strengthens our resolve.

For we are the builders. We are the defenders. We are the bearers of life, faith, and hope. We will never stop fighting for the future they are so desperate to destroy.

The modern liberal worldview is a hollowed-out edifice built upon a foundation of nihilism and resentment. It is not merely misguided; it is, in its essence, a metaphysical rebellion against creation itself. Its pillars are not principles of life, order, or continuity, but glorifications of decay, fragmentation, and ultimate negation.

This is not an accident. A culture that severs itself from its spiritual and biological roots—from faith, from heritage, from the natural order of the family—has nothing left to affirm. Having rejected the sacred, it can only profane. Having rejected creation, it can only dismantle.

This is the death cult. It masks its emptiness with the language of “compassion” and “progress,” but its fruits are everywhere: fatherless homes, soul-crushing addiction, mental illness on an epidemic scale, and a culture that produces young people so deracinated and hopeless that they cheer for murder.

They offer no future, only an endless, sterile present of managed decline. They cannot create beauty, so they deface monuments. They cannot produce harmony, so they amplify chaos. They cannot foster life, so they defend every manifestation of death.

Our response cannot be mere political opposition. It must be a total and profound rejection of their entire worldview. We must be the unequivocal champions of life. We must build large, faithful families. We must create beautiful and lasting things. We must reaffirm our connection to God, to our people, and to the land. We must be so generative, so life-affirming, and so filled with purpose that their culture of death simply withers in the shadow of our vitality.

They celebrate the darkness because they have forgotten what the light looks like. It is our duty to shine it so brightly that they are forced to remember, or to look away.

The spirit of the age does not knock politely at the Church’s door; it slithers in directly from the pulpit. The same death cult that celebrates murder in the streets and glorifies mutilation in the classroom has found a comfortable home within the compromised walls of modern Christianity. It has exchanged the robust, world-conquering faith of our fathers for a weak, effeminate, and apologetic social club, a chaplaincy to the very regime that seeks our destruction.

This infiltration is a betrayal of our entire history. Look to the men who built Christendom. They were not managers of decline. They were not anxious pleasers of the world. They were conquerors. They were kings, knights, saints, and martyrs who carved civilization out of wilderness and darkness with the sword of truth and the shield of faith. They understood that the Gospel was not a suggestion; it was a mandate to reclaim every inch of creation for Christ the King.

This was a masculine Christianity. It spoke of order, justice, duty, and victory. It built cathedrals that scraped the heavens, universities that pursued divine wisdom, and legal systems based on eternal law. It tamed empires and baptized cultures. It did not ask for permission from the world; it commanded the world to bend the knee.

Now, look at what we have been given. A Church that has traded its crown for a begging bowl. A faith that preaches “tolerance” instead of truth, “dialogue” instead of discipleship, and “inclusion” instead of repentance. It busies itself with ESG scores, climate change rituals, and draping rainbow flags over the cross in a pathetic attempt to gain the approval of a world that will always despise it.

This weakness is a theological and spiritual sickness. It is a failure of nerve and a failure of faith. It is the direct result of a Church that has abandoned its masculine, commanding nature and instead embraced the world’s feminine, receptive values of passivity, feel-good therapy, and endless compromise.

We see it in the pulpit, where the fire of prophecy has been replaced by the damp squib of motivational speaking. We see it in the seminary, where future shepherds are taught to be bureaucrats rather than warriors. We see it in the pews, where men are given no mission, no challenge, and no standard to strive for and so they leave.

This must end. The roots of this parasitic ideology must be ripped out, burned, and salt poured into the earth where they grew.

We must return, with unapologetic fervor, to the Christianity that built the West.

We must preach a God who is a Father, a King, and a Judge not a vague, affirming force. We must call men to be saints, not therapists; to be leaders of households and nations, not passive observers. We must reclaim the arts, the laws, the sciences, and the governance of our people as our rightful domain, given to us by God to steward for His glory.

This means cleansing our institutions. It means defunding and disempowering every committee, diocese, and seminary that trades in this death-cult poison. It means supporting only those bishops and pastors who act like fathers and generals, not like corporate spokesmen. It means building parallel networks of education, media, and community that operate wholly outside the corrupt systems of the world.

We are not called to be a quaint subculture. We are called to be a conquering army, baptizing the nations for the glory of God. The same faith that once turned the Roman world upside down is still there, waiting beneath the layers of weakness and compromise. The remnant remains intact. It is time to rediscover it. It is time to stop managing our retreat and start planning our advance.

The world offers death. We must offer life, fierce, abundant, and eternal. We must be so strong in faith, so clear in truth, and so bold in action that the world has no choice but to once again reckon with the power of the God we serve.

Do not let the fire in your belly die. The righteous anger, the profound grief, the clarity of purpose that Charlie Kirk’s martyrdom ignited within you. This is not a fleeting emotion to be forgotten with the next news cycle. This is a sacred fuel. Guard it. Nurture it. Feed it with prayer, with action, and with an unbreakable resolve to ensure his death was not in vain.

Let this flame forge you into a sharper tool for this battle, a more formidable wall against the advancing darkness. The world wants you to get tired, to get comfortable, to forget. Do not give them that satisfaction. Honor Charlie’s memory by making this fire the eternal pilot light of your spirit, guiding your every thought, word, and deed until the work is done and our people are once again free, sovereign, and thriving under God.

He is Risen!

By George Christensen
Not just a line from Scripture. Not just a tradition we repeat once a year. But the most earth-shattering, darkness-defeating, soul-freeing truth the world has ever known.

Christ is risen—and that changes everything.
Displaying
For those of us who look around and feel the weight of the world right now… for those burdened by a culture gone mad, by a political class drunk on power, by the relentless attack on life, family, and faith…

Easter isn’t just a celebration. It’s a lifeline.Because in the Resurrection, we don’t just see a miracle—we see the final word on everything evil tried to destroy.Death has been conquered. Lies have been exposed. Fear has been disarmed.

And if Christ can walk out of the tomb, then there’s nothing—not censorship, not persecution, not corruption—that can hold back the people of God when they walk in truth.

But Easter is not a call to comfort. It’s a call to courage.

The empty tomb is a rallying cry. A summons to every believer to stand up—unafraid, unashamed, and unbending.

At CitizenGO, we believe this world needs a bold Christian voice now more than ever. And that starts with each of us: living the truth, speaking the truth, and defending the truth.

Not tomorrow. Today. Because Christ is not just risen in history—He is risen in you.

So rejoice! But do not rest.Celebrate!

But do not forget.The same power that raised Christ from the grave is alive in you.

That’s not just theology—it’s your mission.

Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful, powerful, and purpose-filled Easter.In Christ our King,

George Christensen and the team at CitizenGO

The Mystery of Israel — a film

This is a film by David Sorensen he made very soon after the attack by Hamas upon Israel on 7th October 2023. I urge you to watch it and refer it to others. See at https://stopworldcontrol.com/israel/

This will open your eyes to what is happening behind the scenes.

It is important for us not to take sides. We need to pray for the ceasing of all hostilities and for innocent civilians to be protected and even more for them to experience our Lord Jesus at this time.

1 Peter 2 –more

As we look at Peter’s first letter to people in various places we see how he was encouraging them, preparing them for a most important, earth-shattering event was to take place. The Jerusalem temple and the Jewish religion as known for centuries, would be destroyed and replaced by a new creation (Mat 21:33-46). This would impact them and many Jews where they lived.

Here we look at the next section of chapter 2 beginning at 2:11-12:

Keep your behavior excellent among the Gentiles (pagans)

, so that in the thing in which they slander you as evildoers, they may because of your good deeds, as they observe them, glorify God in the day of visitation.

Here Peter calls on his readers to be excellent people as they live before an observing pagan society. They are to be different, just if they were foreigners and exiles who stand out in contrast to those who live participating in sinful desires. By calling them foreigners and exiles he is not suggesting anything like the escapist mentality seen in songs like this:

This world is not my home, I’m just a-passing through . . . . . . . And I Can’t Feel At Home anymore.’.

NO. The Holy Spirit is calling us today to live exemplary lives before a watching world. While God has put us here in this world, this is our home now. Paul wrote about being at home here in the body as useful for others though to be with Christ is far better. (Phil 1:22-25). At home here we are to be the ‘light of the world’ and the ‘salt of the earth’. Dispensationalism is a gross error and demon inspired with its ‘get me outta here’ mentality. This terrible doctrine has made countless Christians powerless and failures. That idea is far from the prayer of Jesus we find in John 17:15-18.

My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.  As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world.

Did you notice that Peter wrote ‘that they may glorify God on the day of visitation’? The original Greek strongly implies Peter was referring to the (second) Coming of Jesus! Compare this phrase to a similar used by Jesus in Luke 19:44. All the more reason for these people to be full of good deeds if Jesus was coming to visit his audience! (NASB footnote explains ‘I.e. Christ’s coming again in judgment’.)

 Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, whether to a king as the one in authority, 14 or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and the praise of those who do right. 15 For such is the will of God that by doing right you may silence the ignorance of foolish men. 16 Act as free men, and do not use your freedom as a covering for evil, but use it as bondslaves of God. 17 Honor all people, love the brotherhood, fear God, honor the king.

Here Peter in these five verses continues to focus on their having exemplary behaviour because of ‘the Lord’s sake’. There are human institutions that are there in the Roman world to prevent lawlessness and chaos. Note he says these are sent by him’ (God)! This was at a time when believers were subject to persecution. It is always doing the will of God to do right. At least we today should be thankful to God if these powers maintain good law and order.

Clearly, Peter believed that believers were free under the gospel of the kingdom. But such freedom must not mean we are free to do evil but free to be doing right. They then, and we today, are to see ourselves as ‘bondslaves of God’—what a fantastic privilege—we are not bondslaves of men!

Why ‘honour all people’? Supremely because all bear the image of God. We don’t have to honour their deeds or character. But we are to love our brothers and sisters in Christ.

‘Fear God’ is such a short command but so significant. It is the loss of the fear of God in people today that has led to the disappearance of morality. If there is no fear of God we have lost the basis for decency, goodness. Anything goes. Whatever I can get away with. If there is no fear of God, there can be no love of God. There is no higher authority than God. As Matthew Henry commented, ‘It is the fear, not so much of punishment as of his disapprobation; not so much the dread of suffering as the dread of doing wrong.’ It is the fear I felt lest while nursing in amy arms my newborn child she should slip out of my arms.

Honour the king, Peter enjoins his hearers. For us, we may be very devout in private but if our actions seen by people in society regarding lawful authority are defective and not proper it will be seen as of little value.

Your Greatest Days Are Before You

DARE TO BELIEVE! By Veronika West August 24, 2022

Dare to believe!

by Veronika West August 26, 2022

“Why so down cast, My Beloved? As if a dark cloud of Unbelief and Fear has descended upon you.

Behold, I AM not a God who is distant or unapproachable, uninterested, or too busy to give you My full Attention.

No! I AM not deaf to your cries or blind to your needs. I AM a Loving Father who is near to those who draw near to Me.

Look! I have unlimited resources available for all My Children. I know no limitation or lack.

The Righteous will never beg for bread, but will always have more than enough. Super-abundance, awaits those who wait expectantly on Me.

See! In the midst of darkness, I AM Light! In War and Conflict, I AM Peace. In a world full of hatred and evil doers, I AM Love and I AM Good, full of tender Mercy and Loving Kindness.

In times of grief, I AM Comfort and Strength. In loneliness and isolation, My Radiant Presence is all that you need.

Beloved, My watchful Eye is always upon you, for I have hidden you from your enemies and shielded you from their vicious attacks.

Under the Shadow of My Wing, you are protected from the heat of the noonday sun and preserved from every danger that lurks in darkness.

So Lift up your head that hangs low, and look only to Me. Lean on Me, and I will be an ever-present Helper.

Even My Angels stand ready to go forth to War for you; to prepare a way for you; to level the Mountains and fill in the valleys.

Let your heart Rejoice, for the Battle is already Won and the Victory is assured!

Ha! Yes, I laugh at your enemies. Come up higher, and you will laugh at your enemies too.

You will see that those who think they are winning, are actually losing, and the gallows they have built for another, shall become the place for their own demise and destruction.

Watch! Soon and very soon, they will have enough rope for their own hanging. Who do they think they are, as if the breathe in their lungs were given to them by man?

My Heart is grieved, for the hearts of men are truly wicked, all day long. Yet in My great Mercy, I AM still mindful of them, waiting for their hearts to turn in true Repentance for their wicked deeds.

tipping point

But surely I tell you, the Bowls of their Iniquity are now at a Divine Tipping Point. My patience will soon run out, and My Justice and Judgments will not be restrained forever.

Suddenly, swiftly and quickly, as if a light switch was flicked on, I shall come with My Vengeance and with My Glory, and The Spirit of The Fear of The LORD shall grip their wicked hearts, and their stiff necks shall be broken, and many will fall as dead men in their tracks.

I shall not be mocked!

Therefore Warriors, do not grow weary in your Prayers and Petitions, day and night, for My Courts are now in Session and I sit as a Righteous Judge over The Nations.

Watch! For have I not said, that in these last days I shall perform the same Miracle that I did at first?

Yes! Water shall be turned to Wine, for I AM not governed by time.

hourglass graphic

Look! A Kairos Time, for now the Archangel with the Hourglass in his hand stands before you, and The Nations of the Earth, holding the Sands of Time.

Watch and Listen, as a Divine Acceleration, Acceleration, Acceleration, begins to take place!

Watch! As I take you back to your future, Divine Reversals, as Generational Curses shall be reversed and Covenant Blessings shall be released

Nations that have been held captive shall be let go — for surely, I stand over My Word to perform it!

As I send it out, it always, always produces fruit — and fruit that shall remain.

Yes! It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it.

Oh Beloved, if only you had a greater understanding of My Ways and My Thoughts, then you would be at Peace and great expectation would fill your hearts.

You would walk in such Power and Authority, nothing would weigh you down or distract you from the purposes for which I created you.

What time is wasted by worry and anxiety, as if the spirit of fear can change anything!

My Beloved, you need a deeper Revelation of the Perfect and Complete Love that I have for you, then, and only then, will you become unstoppable, a True Warrior who strikes fear in the heart of the enemy, and a real and present danger to the kingdom of darkness, and you will become as the Violent, who will take the kingdom by force.

Beloved, I have fashioned you for War, and made you a weapon in My great Arsenal.

As you position yourself in Me, and place your life in My Hands, fully yielded and surrendered to My Way and Will, you will live in the fullest of blessing and My highest purpose!

Will you dare to believe, that surely I have kept the best for last, and that your greatest days are before you?”

Living in Fear?

It is clear to me that governments and mainstream media are either deliberately or

unwittingly collaborating the promotion of fear in the Western World.

Read what C.S. Lewis said here many years ago, to the British readers, so as to put things in perspective.

Of course, a much greater threat than Lewis lists here, is threatening us today. I refer to the immense satanic evil of the ominous one-world government that is being openly proposed which will radically change our way of life from freedom to slavery.

Nevertheless, we know that a better world awaits us who believe in the One who died for us and has set us free from fear and anxiety.

All you who read this, if you have not made reconciliation with Almighty God through his death, you must tremble.

But there is an alternative open to you. A way out.

And that is to change your mind, radically, completely and wholeheartedly about Jesus and commit your life into his hands and receive the gift of eternal life.

In doing so you will certainly receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, and no longer live in abject fear.

We were begun as Persons

That this is not a person at 12 weeks is just one of the many, many lies being told, believed and approved of by people in Australia as well as the USA. Perhaps the worst of all lies. We have a choice about what we believe–we are responsible as fellow humans made in the likeness of God. Judgment will come.

Replace lockdowns with safe effective cures

https://thevoiceoftheaustralianpeople.com/

Lives are Being Lost Because Our Government Is Restricting The Prevention And The Cure!!

This information below is now on the public record.

  1. There are several known safe preventatives and cures for this disease–Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), Ivermectin and the asthma steroid drug Budesonide (‘Symbicort’).
  2. These are being used safely effectively in various parts of the world.
  3. Fake science reports re HCQ published in 2 prestigious journals have both been withdrawn as faulty science, an unheard-of scandal.
  4. Lockdowns are causing many more illnesses and even more deaths (suicides) besides wrecking lives, businesses and our economy.
  5. Medical workers are fearful and prohibited from deviating from the authoritarian dictates of the top health elites.

My daughter works for a leading online help for kids and they are overwhelmed by calls from help. She and colleagues are under enormous stress. This cannot and must not remain.

With these highly effective and safe medicines available, I plead with you to do whatever you can stop any further lockdowns and open our borders.

Hydroxychloroquine Cures Coronavirus!

“Chloroquine is a potent inhibitor of SARS coronavirus infection and spread”

The authors, peer-reviewed scientists, published their conclusions in Virology Journal. 2005; 2: 69.  NIH, USA and published online 2005 Aug 22. doi: 10.1186/1743-422X-2-69

They said in 2005 “Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is caused by a newly discovered coronavirus (SARS-CoV).

These scientists reported then

 “that chloroquine has strong antiviral effects on SARS-CoV infection of primate cells. These inhibitory effects are observed when the cells are treated with the drug either before or after exposure to the virus, suggesting both prophylactic and therapeutic advantage. In addition to the well-known functions of chloroquine such as elevations of endosomal pH, the drug appears to interfere with terminal glycosylation of the cellular receptor, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2. This may negatively influence the virus-receptor binding and abrogate the infection, with further ramifications by the elevation of vesicular pH, resulting in the inhibition of infection and spread of SARS CoV at clinically admissible concentrations.”

They concluded with these words

“Chloroquine is effective in preventing the spread of SARS CoV in cell culture. Favorable inhibition of virus spread was observed when the cells were either treated with chloroquine prior to or after SARS CoV infection. In addition, the indirect immunofluorescence assay described herein represents a simple and rapid method for screening SARS-CoV antiviral compounds.”

That was 15 years ago. But now in 2020, the elite medical people in the US are talking about its ineffectiveness and even making its use illegal in some states for the fight against Covid19. Now Dr Fauci is apparently suffering from memory loss.

In Australia, meekly following the US, it is now illegal to prescribe or sell Hydroxychloroquine this same drug which is safer than asprin or paracetamol and has been used for 60 years as a safe treatment to cure various illnesses or as a preventative. In the meantime with lockdowns and restrictions, mental illness is soaring, suicide rates rising, children deprived of normal lives and education, businesses destroyed, tens of thousands out of work and the nation’s economy being ruined.

See also recent study at https://www.henryford.com/news/2020/07/hydro-treatment-study

“The study was published today in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases, the peer-reviewed, open-access online publication of the International Society of Infectious Diseases (ISID.org).”

So why is Hydroxychloroquine now being denied as treatment for the virus in Australia?

 Why is Australia governed now by the opinions of medical authorities?

Hydroxychloroquine (a preferred derivative of chloroquine) is a medication traditionally prescribed over 60 years safely to prevent or treat malaria infections. In certain countries and parts of the world where malaria is still present, a person can easily catch malaria from a seemingly insignificant mosquito bite. In most countries, it is freely available without a prescription.

This was a form of Politicized Science. The drug companies were supporting the publishing of this fake news financially.

Now you know, what do you about it?

Well you can spread the information. Ask questions of your political representatives. Write to newspapers.

Christian lives matter in northern Nigeria

Out of the mountain of despair:

Published by Barnabas Fund 5  August 2020

Nigerian Christian leaders around the globe have called on the International Criminal Court (ICC) in the Hague to act now against the “pernicious genocide” in northern Nigeria.

nigeria-ladies-4x3-653x490-1

The Southern Kaduna People’s Union (SOKAPU) letter to the chief prosecutor, Fatou Bensouda, opened by commending ICC’s role in the capture and potential extradition of the genocidal despot Al Bashir, Sudan’s popularly-deposed president.

But the church leaders go on to boldly flag that the ICC is failing Nigeria by not acting against the blatant genocidal persecution now unfolding in the north, as ongoing atrocities perpetrated by Fulani militants, Boko Haram and other murderous extremists mount day on day.

Enough of the bloodshed

A gathering of hundreds of Christians, dressed in black, protested on Sunday, 2 August against the slaughter and called on Buhari’s government to “rise to their responsibility” in Nigeria’s Kaduna State also seemed to go unnoticed by the world.

The day was marked by “fierce prayers for peace” asking God to intervene in the troubled region, reported Ibrahim Wuyo of Vanguard News, Nigeria, as the peaceful protesters waved heartrending banners. One simply said, “Enough of the bloodshed, widows and orphans are increasing.”

“The arc of the universe tends towards justice”

The arc of God’s universe, long though it is, “tends towards justice”, as a courageous man of God once said. Dr Martin Luther King Jr gave his historic address in front of Abraham Lincoln’s statue 57 years ago this month to claim the bounced “promissory note of freedom”. The “long night of captivity” had ended with Lincoln’s abolition of slavery, but racial justice and socio-economic freedom were yet owed to African Americans 100 years later.

A group of upstanding Muslim men are clearly visible in the assembly, standing close behind Dr King in support, as he spoke of conducting the struggle for freedom on the “high plain of dignity and discipline” and never allowing their righteous protest to degenerate into hate and violence.

What would such men of morality and decency make of the horrific slaughter of Christians unfolding in West Africa today at the cruel hands of Islamist extremists?

“Soul force” overcomes the force of hate

The covid-lockdown frenzy of anti-Christian violence that has spiked this year in West Africa, particularly in northern Nigeria, has barely been opposed by police or military intervention. Militants are mercilessly killing young and old with impunity – destroying lives and families, homes and hope.

The “new militancy” Dr King spoke of in 1963 answered physical force with “soul force” – love alone can conquer hate. It is just such magnificent spiritual courage we hear of from our partners in Nigeria, and other Sahel countries, where a flood of extremist violence is engulfing Christian communities.

Christians caught in this spiritual battle are forgiving their persecutors, rebuilding shattered lives amid post-covid hardships and pointing men of violence to the Prince of Peace.

In April, Rose, the 27-year-old widow of Nigerian pastor, Matthew Tagwi, prayed that her husband’s Fulani militant killers “will get to know this Jesus I know” as she forgave them and asked the Lord to save their souls.

 “Creative suffering” is redemptive

What Dr King described as “creative suffering” is a profound and redemptive force in a fallen world. Just as he called for hope at that pivotal moment, we are moved to echo his words and ask Christians in these uncertain and difficult times of accelerating global persecution not to “wallow in the valley of despair”. We place our complete trust in the Lord, knowing that, to His glory, He will exalt every valley, make the rough things of this present world smooth and every crooked place straight (Isaiah 40:4).

“With our faith we hew out of the mountain of despair the mountain of hope.”

–  Dr Martin Luther King Jr
