Re: Yet another frivolous lawsuit
I know, Skinnywater. but this is all new to me.<br /><br />Plywoody, you posted, "Luckily, not all Christains feel the way you do. They are comfortable privately practicing their faith without feeling compelled that the government mandate their faith be adhered to by everyone else." <br /><br />Not on your life. Just because someone is a Christian, Plywoody, it does not mean they must submit to being persicuted by some judge with a jones for all things God. This is a major turning point for me personally. I don't take my commitments lightly, and never have. And even tho I totally disagree that "most christians " don't mind being written-off as second-class citizens, it wouldn't make any difference to my commitments.<br /><br />"And thankfully, the framers of the constitution realized that it was never the majority that needed be protected by <br />the bill of rights, but the minority and people with potentially unpopular, but personal beliefs, that needed to be <br />protected."<br /><br />THANKFULLY??!!!<br /> LOL. Enough said. I think they meant to protect us all, whether we were weak or strong. What is the point of equality, if this is not true? Are you serious? A majority put these people in power, one at time. Four years each. These servants are sometimes given unmanageable power, being able to appoint judges for LIFE! <br />Now that the present majority has been given the standard, the oposition blocks thier appointmnents, so that they can keep thier laws in force. The majority. like it or not,IS our governing body, Plywoody. "The time has come to save this whale".<br /> <br /><br />"That is what freedom is all about."<br /><br />Freedom is , in my humble opinion, what provides us with the abilty of us to debate this in the first place. To step on individual freedoms is one thing. But that sculpture does not do that. And even you deep-down know that. If it were a bottle of urine with an upside down crucfix in it, this same Judge would declare it "freedom of artistic expression" or some such rot, and force the state to leave it alone, and STATION 24 HOUR GAURDS AROUND IT!!!!<br />I'm not buying it anymore, Plywoody. Enough is enough. I have a good mind to find out how much they want for the thing, along with the property it rests upon, and take up the collection PERSONALLY! And what are you going to do to stop me? It's a technicality, but this action would end this one assault by the antichrists. It should also be noted, that had the state the desire to interfere , or better, to withdrawl from the issue completely, all they needed to do is claim "Eminent Domain",and release the property it rests on,made "private property" under the law.... End of story. But being good public servants, they are attempting the battle of good/vs/ evil play itself out, as the constitution provides ---Even tho it ALSO provides an easy out!<br /><br />See, it's more than just principles at risk for the American Christian, when the symbols that represent our faith are torn-down under the guise of "LAW". It's where the Christian lives, how he lives, and why he believes in God and has faith in God. I'll be the first to admit, I'm not the best Christian. I'm somewhat new at practicing my convictions regarding my faith, and far from the model example of God's people. But I plan to rectify that ASAP, any way I can. I'm not accepting this anymore. If I can't change it, I'll at least change myself, so that when we are attacked closer to home, I can AGAIN, try to do something about it, as one of God's soldiers. This slow erosion of our freedoms, and this slow persecution can lead to HORIBLE things, even genocide, if history does indead repeat itself.
