okay, here's what I believe in:
~ the Golden Rule
~ Kindness and Equality
(to those who extend the same!)
~ Free Will
(INCLUDING freedom of thought!)
THESE are the tenets of the Christian faith, no matter how far the zealots have strayed from the basics.
I dont think ANYONE has a problem with these few principles! In fact, these are what the liberals cry for each time they open their collective mouth!
BUT..........here's the part where people start to squirm, eventually leading to protest:
~ crime and punishments
~ nucleic family values
~ morality based upon decency
(and the right to be offended by what we view as INdecent!)
**** and here folks is the kicker>>>>>>>
~~ETERNAL CONSEQUENCES OF SIN!!!!!!
but WAIT!!! isn't it logical that if we do-away with the definition of sin, then we can no longer be held accountable for it???
WHAT A CONCEPT!!!!!!!!
My concept, plain and simple, is this:
If there is nothing after this, and we do not set ourselves upon a greater goal,
THEN WHAT THE LIVING HELL ARE WE DOING HERE?????
WHAT'S THE POINT?????
You can continue to live your life away, waitng to die and be gone forever, if you like. I wont begrudge you that.
But as for me, I need to know that something comes after this, that eventually makes the pain worthwhile.
If you choose to hate me for that, then who is REALLY the close-minded individual, in this case???
