Sorry, I don't believe in anything less than tolerance.
Except for my faith, apparently. If you understood the truth about my faith, you would know that I defend living by it because I LOVE my fellow man.
Religion simply isn't a good excuse to alienate others from their rights as human beings.
Rights as human beings.... That begs the question as to where our rights come from. Its an important part of this discussion. What do you think?
And no, I don't believe that I should be "better than to believe that". I think YOU should be better than that, and rise above such archaic thinking.
Lyzelle, I am about 20 years older than you. Been around the world, done a lot of things. So please spare me the idea that my thinking is "archaic". What these years have taught me is that the idea that man is on his own, that we can do it by ourself is absurd. I thought as you do when I was young too....
Further, you show, again, that you do not understand my faith. Rather you see it as the secular humanist needs to see it. It has to be evil, else your world view falls apart.
I LOVE this creation. My life was a mess until I started living as best I can the way God showed us. Since then, my life has been better than I could have possibly hoped for.
And dictating what a woman can do with her body, the medications or healthcare she can receive is definitely getting rid of rights. Also education.
This comes back to the idea of rights and where they come from....
But hey, he's all for more money in military, right? But totally wants to lower their pay and still "maintain the same efficiency". All about stomping through foreign countries and insulting them publicly. All about taxing the middle classes for money, and then giving tax breaks to big companies. He believes in "trickle down theory", and never in history has that theory worked. It didn't work when Bush was in office, either.
The only thing ill address here is military spending... It kinda is one of the few things the Constitution requires of the federal government.
Give me an example of trickle UP working. Adam Smith got it right 236 years ago. Too bad we can't still have that model.
And its that sort of logic that is exactly WHY they have no chance. The masses don't bother with them, therefore the media and politics for them get shoved aside because it's "not what the people want".
I never said I was happy that 3rd parties were not relevant. But we do agree on this point.
A large majority of the masses don't care to pay attention... So we get what we deserve I suppose.
My life has taught me that the first line of my signature is true. Ill not apologize for that.
Good night.
