She bemoaned a culture where advertisers target the vulnerabilities of children just to increase their bottom line. It is this spirit of greed, according to King, that was responsible for the death of her father, Martin Luther King Jr. Only when he began criticizing the government for its military expenditures on the Vietnam War, she suggested, was he assassinated. She, too, criticized military spending and went on to say that Americans destroy, rather than create, and have come to value death more than life. King, who was ordained a Baptist minister in 1990, said that unconditional love in the spirit of God is the only way for human beings to overcome these poisonous spirits. This love, she explained, keeps human beings humble and grounded and helps to properly orient their values.
Love is the most powerful force on the face of the earth.
God is love Unconditional love, really, is the nature and character of God operating in and through the human heart. She also said that America needs to return to the principle of one nation under God. Its citizens must have a spiritual awakening that unites them under God with unconditional love as the catalyzing force, according to King. The reason we celebrate the life and contributions of my father is because more than any other Christian in the history of this nation he pierced our consciences with an active reminder of the principles of Christian love, she said.
