Silence

 1st Kings 19:11-12: He said to Elijah, "Go out and stand on the mountain before the LORD, for the LORD is about to pass by." Now there was a great wind, so strong that it was splitting mountains and breaking rocks in pieces before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind, and after the wind an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake, and after the earthquake a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire, and after the fire a sound of sheer silence.

Galatians 3:28: There is no longer Jew or Greek; there is no longer slave or free; there is no longer male and female, for all of you are one in Christ Jesus.

Luke 8:26-39: Jesus casts out a demon from a Gerasene man and sends the demon into a herd of pigs and they stampede down a hill into the lake and are drowned...... Even if it's just a story, seems like killing off a herd of pigs is not right, even if they are non-kosher. It's like in crime novels when they have gratuitous murders. They could have burglaries, or embezzlement. Bad enough killings in real life. Why do it in fiction books?
