“All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.”
Edmund Burke
Irish orator, philosopher, & politician (1729 – 1797)
For the record, I agree with neither the Republicans, nor the Democrats. I just wanted to get that straight.
One thing I would like to ask all of you is this: are there any “Christian” Democrats on here? If so, I’d like to talk with you about a few things:
1) Is it not true that modern Democrats are in favor of abortion, homosexuality, and amnesty for illegal aliens?
2) If so, let me remind you of some verses in the Bible that have to do with these things. You’re welcome to look these up.
1-”Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable.” (Homosexuality, Levit. 18:22)
2-”But if you do evil, have fear; for the sword is not in his[the government's] hand for nothing: he is God’s servant, making God’s punishment come on the evil-doer.(Illegal Immigration, Romans 13:4)
Now I will agree that abortion is harder to disprove. But, here’s a form of logic that will help you understand why abortion is wrong. Consider what Jeremiah has to say:
“Before you were formed in the body of your mother I had knowledge of you, and before your birth I made you holy…”
Now, this clearly states that BEFORE HE WAS BORN, Jeremiah was known, and acknowledged, by GOD himself! Ergo, he was already a person pre-birth. So the argument that a fetus isn’t a person is ruled out. Now, the question you have to ask yourself, is this: is the killing of a person alright by God? Well, the answer to that is the sixth commandment: “Thou shalt not murder.” Some translations of the oldest Bibles suggest that the commandment was “Thou shalt not KILL.” This means any kind of killing, or ending of a human’s life. Note that I said HUMAN. Animals and plants were given to us by God, to use however we wish. Therefore, this commandment is not pertaining to anything but humans. From this, you can conclude that, in an indirect but logical way, the Bible stands AGAINST abortion.
3)I understand this does not apply if you are not Christian, but if you are, you should be able to understand this.
4)Now, given the evidence above, would anyone like to come up with Biblical evidence that any of these three is RIGHT? Truly, I would be interested in hearing it. I love debating, as you can tell.
5) From my statements, it is easy to conclude that I am not a Liberal. I am a strongly Christian Conservative, who hates the government that he lives under. God says to give the government respect, so I will. I will honor the position of President, but I don’t have to honor the person filling the position. Same goes with nearly every government position these days. I love my country, don’t get me wrong. I just despise the people running it.
The last thing I’d like to say is this: Although I despise Obama and all of his cohorts, I would be HAPPY if he did what was best for this country! I am not just biased against these people. I would jump for joy if Obama followed the Bible, introducing legislations against gay marriage, and against abortion, and against homosexuality, and against lowering the US’s defenses, and against raising taxes, and against unnecessary spending, and against the expansion of government! Believe me, I would jump for JOY! But the problem is, it will never happen, because in his first 100- or so-days in office, he has already told us what will happen during his 4-8 years as President of the United States. The problem is, he WON’T introduce legislation on the aforementioned. I wish to God that he would, though.
Feel free to post replies to what I’ve written. Thank you for your time, and GOD BLESS AMERICA!
