I just do what is right, even when people mock me from the great and spacious building. The globalists need to divide us and I am not going to play into their hands or recognize the divide until it's irreversible. Jesus is the Prince of Peace, not the prince of hate.spiritMan wrote: ↑October 31st, 2022, 7:46 pm"In my opinion, it's better not to play into the divide and not validate that belief that everyone is out to get them and that they have to double down on the identity"harakim wrote: ↑October 31st, 2022, 10:57 amYeah, it would have shocked me 10 years ago. I see now that these demonstrator types of people feel a divide between them and the rest of the population driven by the media and liberal extremists. They feel like they aren't heard by us. Most importantly, they feel like it's society vs. them and they have to make a stand.
I'm not going to play into the divide by making a big deal about it. Everyone is missing a part of the truth. Everyone is wrong about some things. In my opinion, it's better not to play into the divide and not validate that belief that everyone is out to get them and that they have to double down on the identity. I want them to see that they are the one creating the divide. I want them to know they can make the choice, it hasn't been thrust upon them.
Given that the banner my kids have no idea what it is and if they did, hopefully I will have taught them well enough to understand the truth, then it won't affect them.
At some point, the dividers will have divided normal society off from themselves, perhaps refusing to let people buy and sell. They will openly and permanently commit to be the enemy and to our destruction. At that point, I will take a stand. I will definitely not put up a divide with someone who is not yet my enemy.
Yes, better to let them infiltrate and teach their putrid wicked ideology to everyone who will lend an ear that to stand up for what is right for fear that you will "validate" their belief.
Coward.
Would your response be the same if you saw a large flag of the Playboy bunny being flown at a Church sponsered function?
Would your response be the same if you saw a large flag of the Nazi's being flown at a Church sponsered function?
Come on man. You know your response would absolutely be different. You claim "peace" but what it really means is "I do not want to stick my neck out for fear that it will get chopped off". It has nothing to do with division, but it's a great way to self-rationalize doing nothing.
But of course, if you are unwilling to do it . . then who will? The tooth fairy?
But you can get on an internet forum, kevetch and moan about it . . .oh my goodness look how the world is going to hell . . . but do nothing about it in your own garden plot.
And if you were honest about it, while I would disagree I would respect it. Being honest about how an individual is too afraid to do something for fear of the societal repercussions is at least honorable.
But don't use Christ as a justification for your lack of willingness to do anything about it.
