I withdraw my earlier question. You clearly are either drunk or on drugs.
I didn't write this, a christian fantatic wrote it. It show the way some people think they can achieve their fascist theocracy goals. No. And No.
Maybe you should make more use of "xxx" or 'xxx' or `xxx` and alsoxxxand then it would be clearer which bits were written by a fanatic :)
It really would have been nice if he had posted the full intro from Mark Byron, rather than just alluding to it and brushing it aside. But that would have diluted Fool's message, I guess. Sort of funny coming from someone who constantly rails against the 'fascist thought police' and 'manipulation of the truth'.
Intro follows: ~~~~~~~~~~~ The Usefulness of Civil Disobedience-Part II-The Bonhoffer Option
[Update 6:30AM 11-14 ----- I do not support the scenario that follows. I was expressing a sentiment that we can fall prey to IF we let the combating evil rhetoric go too far. Peaceful civil disobedience can often lead to violent civil disobedience. I think the rhetoric of Operation Rescue types can help lead to Paul Hill type assassins (or for those of you on the left, Greenpeace leading to ELF); I'm trying to nip that impulse in the bud in me and in others. [11:45AM-no, the ELF or Earth First haven't done killed anyone that we know of. I had thought that tree-spiking had killed someone in the past, but my memory was faulty there; here's a seemingly-good piece on the issue that says that people have been hurt but not killed by spiking.]
Why shouldn't we take up arms against our enemy? Because the US government is much more our ally than our enemy. It is a system, flawed as it is, that allows the Gospel to flourish, relatively unfettered. We need to work with in the system, not try to start a second revolution.
For those of you on the left who want to label me a typically sick Christian, it's your legal right to do so, even if it doesn't reflect reality well. I've had to take down some profane comments. I will admit to having occasional violent thought come through my mind, but I do not physically act on them (at least since coming to the Lord two decades ago), and repent of them when those thoughts do happen.]
