No one is forcing you to do anything similar, nor is there an imminent threat of you being forced to do anything similar.
And all this time I thought you read the stuff I posted...
It's a threat only to the extent that the submission message is broadcast in public meetings such as graduations or inaugural addresses where it puts a public imprimatur on something that contradicts my religion-like worldview, is unhealthy and dehumanizing, and not something I'd want my kids to pick up. My concern is only in that very narrow arena. Otherwise it's no problema.
"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me....
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.
T'was Grace that taught...
my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear...
the hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares...
we have already come.
T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far...
and Grace will lead us home.
The Lord has promised good to me...
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be...
as long as life endures.
When we've been here a thousand years...
bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise...
then when we've first begun.
"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me....
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see. |
