I just thought someone should point out...
« on: April 16, 2014, 09:14:17 PM »
...that even if a person were crazy and mendacious, and threatened people; that wouldn't make him right or wrong, legal or illegal.*

Not that I'm saying anyone actually is crazy or mendacious, or had threatened people.


*Well, they might be illegal on the threatening part. ;)

Meh. Move it, if you want.


On the other hand, it is something people shouldn't forget when discussing politics.

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

Dude, that sounds a lot like a "legal does not necessarily equal moral" argument. Welcome. :)

Never forget that being moral can still get you locked up.

The trick is don't do stupid illegal things. Or at least not where you can be seen

Unfortunately many things are not stupid, but still illegal. However, staying under the radar as much as you can manage seems to be good all around advice these days.

But it doesn't mean you're wrong about, say, land use, grazing, or the price of cake in Finland.

Doesn't make you right either. Nor does using the right sunblock or saying the right buzzwords

Well, no, of course it doesn't make him right.

Oh, and nice race-baiting. Stay classy.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.
