Yes, that is correct, righteous indignation is ok. Now that does not mean that you are greater or better then anyone else because the simple truth is you are also a sinner. Except for Jesus all men sin and fall short of the glory of God.
So by what right do you have to judge or become enraged is the essence of this article?
You see you do not have to be perfect, a saint, and a religious of any denomination to be incensed over things that are outright sin, wrong and injustice. You just have to identify that which causes you the feelings you are obligated to speak out. You judge the deed not the person, although if the deed is bad you are required if you profess to be a Christian to address it.
If we look at the Bible situation with Jesus in the Temple we can see that when He expelled the moneychangers He evidently had been there before. He didn’t just walk in and take action. He had hard facts, proof and examples before he made a decision. He was then bound by truth to speak out and take action to correct the wrong. Jesus did not do this gently. He literally threw them out with physical and verbal action. He initiated a force to correct the wrong and initiated the action that made the change.
So when I write of things that I experience first hand and when I feel and experience an injustice, the facades, the lies and deceit and the attitudes, which in my opinion permeate our society today, I am obligated to speak out.
Now I must apologize to all if in my writing it comes out in flaming overtures. That is my human failure that sometimes rushes me to speak out along with my hurt and my sense of injustice. Sometimes we do not think through the process and what we want to say and in doing so we error. Thank God there are decent people to point this out because sometimes we just do not see it ourselves. These are the decent people that are checks and balances we cannot ignore.
In fact, I must admit in retrosoect that in many cases of hurt and misunderstanding this can be the basis for separation and conflict. So, when I write I try to gather as much fact as can be found. Also my personal experiences and first hand knowledge as well as that provided by the media and others play into the development of an article.
In this case and many of my articles I speak to true matters. I specifically address it in the manner I have expressed above and because of that I am entitled to have righteous indignation concerning that which is wrong. It has nothing to do with my personal state as a human, spiritually or with ideology. It has to do with what is wrong and what is right.
Now in my last article I was rather direct because I have experienced most if not more of what I wrote about in multiple instances. If you have not had experiences such as this consider yourself fortunate and if you are skeptical that I respect as your right. However, please do not dismiss it as just someone who dislikes the system, is disgruntled or anything else because that is the thing that will destroy this nation in a heartbeat.
I started writing out of frustration. I continued writing because as I investigated, looked and considered the signs and symbols were all about me. I also found out that many here and around this world really do not care because they are not impacted directly. They are apathetic to all these major issues.
While half the world is ablaze in war and famine and sickness we worry about the NFL Draft and how to set the table. Yet, as I investigated I came to find that this has to happen. It is a fulfillment of my beliefs. You do not have to agree. You do not have to accept. You can label me what you may. However, the truth and facts are all about. The signs and symbols are fulfilled daily by us all. So yes from time to time my humanness prevails and like everyone else I fail. However, if written in blazing tone or gentle the facts and truth are the issue at hand not the writers style. While I must admit you reach more with a softer tone.
So to anyone I offended I apologize. However, realize this we all need to take a good hard look and do something when righteous indignation is called for and you do not need to be a saint you just need to say the truth and support it with facts.

Very well said Mr. Melaccio, When I first began writing on search warp, not only was I quite naive in my writing style I would write without thinking about what I was saying so my readers had a hard time in trying to understand what I was trying to convey. I've learned to try to put myself in the readers possition when I write now and try to see my own writing as if it were someone else's. Respond to this comment
