Peter,
I cannot speak for Kevin, you asked about the truth. My source of
truth is the Holy Bible. It is not subject to the Relativistic
Pluralism Social setting in which you seem to reside. I believing in
human rights and our God given freedoms which seem to be "Right Wing" in
your mind. You speak of fear and hatred. Yet you fear hearing any
point of view that is held by those who disagree with you. Pluralists
and Liberals fear more than anyone I know. They cannot express truth
for fear it will injure others who see everything as relative. You all
have a fear of expressing truth because you are afraid to tell the other
guy he is wrong. There are some irrefutable Truths you may learn from
Nature. You cannot flap your arms and fly! You cannot cause the sun to
rise or the moon to shine. These things are owned by the One True God
Who created you and all you see in His orderly Nature. What's is
relative about these things? As to other views, yes I listen in awe at
some of the dumb things people say. I then compare those ideas to past
Historic reality: We should all share the wealth: Russian Communism
lasted for only 70 years and then collapsed in on itself. I easily
conclude Socialism or Communism does not really work as a long term
solution for mankind. BTW I was in Russia several times and guess what?
[they now embrace Capitalism. Putin recently said in Pravda that Obama
is an idiot for trying to force Communism on the US]. Then you mention
hatred: What is more hateful to your fellow man than to give him false
Hope and Lie to him about how you can Change his future? Then as an
added injury you over tax him; take away his basic freedoms and threaten
his future with Indefinite Detention if he disagrees with you [note
Obama's abuse of the Executive Order; His passage of NDAA and
embracing Agenda 21 urging UN control of my Sovereign Nation. I have
respect for the views of others, but I respect God and my human dignity
He gave me more. Our world history is filled with sad and evil stories
of people who thought they had a better idea, and failed. Yes Hitler,
Stalin, Mao, Pot Pol all had some seemingly new and great ideas. Read
about how it all ended. I'm sure you also feel that believing in God is
narrow minded. Just do yourself one favor: Google "List of Burial
Places of Founders of World Religions". Note that Jesus Christ has no
burial place. Wikipedia shows He was only entombed in the old city of
Jerusalem for 3 days. Jesus, The Author of Truth and Life is alive.
All other world religious leaders are dead and buried as are all of the
leaders of man's failed "ISMS', and the millions of guilty and innocent
left in their wake. Yes I listen to the views of those I respect, but I
do not respect evil and lies. I spend a lot of my time in Mission work
helping people find a new way of life, and keeping them from evil and
the lies of corrupt people. These politics are a temporary bump in life.
Jesus taught us in Mark 12:17 to"... render to Caesar the things that
are Caesar's and to God the things that are God". What could be more
damaging to politicians who believe they can control our thoughts and
actions? God owns our souls and no political organization or leader has
ever been able to get to the heart of man like God does.
I would like to thank Mr. Jim Geiger. Some of my response ideas came from his wonderful book
The Gospel According to Relativity.
