- Go to "MORALITY" HAS NOT BEEN THE RULE
it's not that you disagree steeler
it's that you keep shouting at your oppositoin to shut up.
in very definite terms
that is the very essence of tyranny.
I don't define it.
your words, though, help to label you as such
I don't care how much you write or what you say
this is an open debate forum
but to continually insist that because the election is over, all voices of opposition must be stilled -- well that's a different matter.
I would defend your right to say what you want to the death
and i will vehemently insist on my right of expression also.

Your Attempts...
to "still the opposition" has been ongoing on BLOGIT daily. You try to label Christians as tyrants daily. When I disagree with you then I am attempting to "still the opposition". What exactly do you call the propaganda that you spew here daily?

morals doesn't have anything to do with politics, Steelerman
but when politics wants to impose morals on people, then we have trouble.
you had one experience. I had another. Both experiences were different.
it's as if we lived in two different worlds, which we did.
but I think it has to be admitted that the surface appearance of morals was not the reality for much of the population.
it is interesting -- now, if you had lost, would you just drop all that you believe in? no you wouldn't.
but you are insisting that all opposing voices be stilled.
what now does that make you? read the title of this blog again.
as long as you persist in attempting to still the opposition, you typify a Christian Tyrant.

My PARENTS!
My parents were born in 1924. They are 80 now, of course. They were of the "GREAT GENERATION". My grandfather was born in 1889 and passed away in 1990. My family is not as young as what you speak of as in "born in the 30's and 40's." They have morals that were taught to them by their parents. Your words of parents from the 30's and 40's exemplifies exactly the truth. My parents went through the depression and remember it well, Dad served as a Marine in WWII and fought the Japs on Okinawa, Iwo Jima and Guadal Canal. That is the difference. That is what you are missing and why you do not understand.
By the way, this topic is really getting old. Move on. You lost the election, again. I know you never got over losing the 2000 election but do you think you can get over this one? Also, morals was the most important factor in this election. You seem to not be able to get over that as well. As a song by the Eagles goes, 'GET OVER IT."

thank you for your comment.
isn't that what Yeshua said - "concentrate on the beam in your own eye before you pay any attention at all to the splinter in another's>
We all have our own faults that we need to work on. We keep our faults if we ignore them in order to attempt to correct someone else.

Look inside of yourself! You do not need to look anywhere else. YOU
hold the key.

I can appreciate what you are saying. I have close family history (written and spoken) back for six generations. I was born in the 30s. We lived a comfortable but moral life. There was daily prayer in school. There were prayers in my home, but my home was not a critical or condemning one. You would not have heard a Christian I knew then cursing. I did not know men hit women until I married someone from the same era, and a different culture, went to church regularly; not what I know as Christian. There have always been moral and immoral people. I quickly learned the difference when I married. There are moral non Christians and immoral people who call themselves Christians. That is not different, but the greatest feeling for me is the feeling of peace and joy that trouble can't mar except for passing outward emotional saddness. Happiness and peace are not the same. We don't have to control one another if we are truly Christians. I am much more concerned with how I live daily than I am about how you live.

You know what? People in my life didn't adhere to strick morals, nor hardly any morals at all, but I certainly wish they had. With no one to speak up for me, it was finally my own doing to get those who carelessly harm others out of a position of authority in my life and in their rightful place, which is exactly this: A place where they MUST respect my right to be moral, and acknowledge that I never chose not to be. If a child is permitted to go astray, it is the fault of that child's society, and when the child suffers for it, they grow up be their own leader and to say to everyone, "You were very, very wrong, and you hurt me very, very much. I will not tolerate immorality over my life or my children's lives in any position of authority ever again."
