Hpeace, You are playing games of syntax with me. If you wiah to quibble over words, that is fine, but it is not my intent. We are a republic, not a democracy, fine, but that has nothing to do with the point i was trying to make. The constitution may or may not have been fromed with the scriptures in mind, but I still dont have religious freedon today becasue of chrstianity. To use your logic, I would just throw Ireland out there, but I dont.
When I say that I use my own estimations of right and wrong to determine my spiritual course, yousay tht leads to a "Hitlerian" outcone.
that is of course rubbish. I couls just as easily point to mavericks such as Gahndi, buddha, Matin Luther King, Moses, And even Jesus.. Each followed what he thought was right agsainst the conventional wisdon of the day.
Everyone likes to argue to some degree, but lets not let it side track us to the point of quibbling over syntax and intenionally misleading sttements.
thanks, Mark |
