Web, I think you guys are missing what I am saying....
You give extreme examples of people tossing out extreme references by intellectually lazy people.
Seems a lot of people have lately too, as I relayed how all of a sudden they know Trump will do all these horrendous things, calling him ugly names as racist, homophobic, etc.
Based on them, I guess, being able to tell the future, YET.... failed to see his election, and WHY, it was that drove this vote....
I was raised with the retort, " Sticks and stones might break my bones, but names will never hurt me.
When I die, you will cry, for all the names you called me"
It is a very simplistic jingle, but its meaning goes to the very depth of mans nature.
We have seen the PC censorship of the left. The reasoning why they surrender free speech, enforcing it upon others, because they say words hurt them....
Yet, they freely hurl accusations of ugliness at any opposing views and beliefs.
That is their own conflict.
Agreeing with them will not solve that conflict, tho bundled together in "safe zones" they think they have found a solution.
They will indeed die unhappy and miserable, as this mindset and attitude can never be settled by empowering and enforcing its doctrine.
True story.
I have shared before about my friend who has a political science degree from Berkeley.
All his clothes must reference the Grateful Dead
Anyway, a while back before the finalist were even decided in the primary, he asked what I thought was the most important issues facing us.
I said economy, education, with a healthy inspection of our banking and healthcare industries.
He said it was global warming.
I asked him why?
He went on to list much.
When it came to the seas rising and flooding out all this landmass, etc, I asked him to give me proof.
Of course he couldn't.
He admitted it was just a belief, a very strong belief.
I said, cool, I have a very strong belief in God, yet you are an atheist, and think polices should not be made upon a belief (of him).
He was sorta cornered, and deflected his answer to this: "You know what really bothers me about Christians?' he asked.
I said, what?
"That they tell me I am going to hell!" he shared.
When talking later about the outcome of the election, and why Trump won, he blamed it on the usual talking points....
With the highlight being she won the popular vote
I said, "Oh yeah, that electorate vote that you all said she had in the bag and no way could Trump ever overcome that obstacle, means nothing now, eh?"
Anyway, I said, "No Rob, that is not why he won.
"I said they, like you, for why you don't believe in God, because some Christians tell you that you are going to hell, and you don't like the accusation......
Folks who don't like being called a Racist, Bigot, Sexist, Homophobic, etc, don't like the party or its representative, that calls them names, either....."
He didn't say anything back.
