Volonté de Dieu

As Peter the Hermit said before the start of the first crusade, "Since we're all poor and miserable, let's go take the Holy land from the turks. Everybody hates them and they're not Christian anyway." Of course he was French so it was probably more like:

Puisque nous sommes tous pauvres et malheureux, laissez-nous vont prise la terre sainte des Turcs puisque tout le monde les déteste et ils ne sont pas chrétiens.

but you know what I mean. The point is that in these difficult times, we should try to focus on something important and constructive (one man's construction is another man's destruction - sometimes), and as a congregation we can surely do something extreme. What we need is some kind of crusade. A crux to guide us to become a greater nation. If we could invoke some higher power in this jihad, then it would gain more credence.

First we need a new religion that includes everyone granted they discard their current beliefs. Then after we convert most of the world into this peace-loving, non-judgemental, super-tolerant group of people-patrons, we will rise above all the doubters left who cling to their outdated dogma. This will drive our resolution to purge the world of skeptics, thus creating the new Utopia.

I'm thinking we should start with the Rhineland, Austria, Sudetenland, Czechoslovakia and then invade Poland. We could bring them the Good News.
