RE: Signs of the Times
This sort of comportment is all too typical of too many people these days. And it’s not limited to the so-called ‘Liberals’ and ‘Progressives’. I find it happens just about everywhere. Even on allegedly ‘Conservative’ and ‘Libertarian’ web-sites. And it usually comes from people who use nom des blogs to hide their real identity. However, some of them have the courage to post under their real names. But not many.
The place is going not-so-quietly stark, raving ‘mad’. And if thinks continue as they are, I will not be surprised to see violence. It may even have already begun….witness the arson attack on the Texas Governor’s Mansion.
RE: What Is Truth?
Paul M Hupf brings up an excellent point, vis-a-vis Pilate and Christ. What IS ‘truth’? Who decides what it is?
In a totalitarian state, the ‘politically correct’ get to say what it is. I’m reminded of the famous truism of Communism, “Today’s truth is tomorrow’s lie.”
In an allegedly democratic state, it should be based on proven evidence. But try to present that sort of proof to people these days and you end up like Hiatt. Or worse. I’ve been ‘killed’ on a number of venues for presenting what I honestly hold to be the ‘truth’ of various matters. And doing it, essentially, the same way I’m doing it here and now. But those people don’t want to hear it.
Now, if I’d been an idiot, they probably would have let me continue, as an example of what my sort of thinking leads to. But no. Because I was being effective in my presentation, it was deemed that I should be ‘silenced’.
Well…I tried. And they’re welcome to their ever-narrowing echo chambers.
RE: The Funny Think Is….
….these people think themselves the epitome of ‘liberalism’. Indeed, they are not. They are their own little dictators in their own little realm where they have the (1) power and (2) opportunity to ‘kill’ the opposition.
I can imagine what they’d be like if they got their hands on REAL power.
There IS one strong correlation with respect to these people….
…the vast majority of them are atheists.
And this brings us back to the idea of “What IS Truth?”
I recommend people look at Matthew 7:24-27 for a clue. An obscure one, but if you think about it, you might understand.
