Quote reblogged from Mother Jones magazine on Tumblr with 300 notes

And don’t let anybody make you think that God chose America as his divine, messianic force to be a sort of policeman of the whole world. God has a way of standing before the nations with judgment, and it seems that I can hear God saying to America, “You’re too arrogant! And if you don’t change your ways, I will rise up and break the backbone of your power, and I’ll place it in the hands of a nation that doesn’t even know my name. Be still and know that I’m God.”
From “Why I Am Opposed to the War in Vietnam,” a sermon given April 30, 1967, at Ebenezer Baptist Church.
