Replying To The Delusional Comments Of A Christian Fundamentalist Friend

"Fuck This Guy! I’m Going To Hit Him."

  • Not a word from you about how many rioters have destroyed cities? ruined businesses the truly hard working honest people spent a lifetime building? It's sad you choose such evil over good and would promote terrorism while criticizing truly good and honest patriots.

  • This is not an example of what's going on and why it is the police are forced to protect and defend good people and property from those who are waiting behind peaceful demonstartor to steal, kill and destroy whatever they can get their hands on.

    • You’re on the wrong side of history Karen.

      And by my lights you’re on the wrong side of God.

      Where to begin?
      Notably, you never answered my question about whether you supported the Iraq war, a war Donald Trump considered so grotesquely murderous that he emphatically called for George W. Bush's impeachment.
      As has been commonplace from antiquity onward, I assume your "silence as consent" and will apologize for misrepresenting you if you tell me straight-up: "I opposed the Iraq War."
      If you honor Donald Trump's opinion (and I have not yet heard you contradict His Toxicity) do you take any responsibility for your murderous support for The Iraq War?
      Or, having re-made yourself in Trump's image, do you deny all responsibility?
      For all your crocodile tears about "stealing and killing and destroying whatever they (BLM vandals) can get their hands on," you forget that George Floyd's murder and America's growing sympathy for ongoing oppression of white people is one of the three major causes of Trump's precipitous decline. (The other two are his grotesque mismanagement of coronavirus and the economy which - despite "dead cat bounces" in the stock market - is only beginning to head south.)
      You also overlook the fact that the overwhelming majority of BLM protestors have been peaceful, just as my own group of BLM protesters was right here in Hillsborough when hundreds of us recently marched from the First Baptist Church - once your church - to the grounds of The Old Courthouse.
      Then there's this historical perspective...
      What do you think about the "stealing, killing and destruction of property" that characterized American revolutionaries from the Boston Tea Party onward?
      I myself believe that the American Revolution was a terrible idea - a breathtakingly immoral war.
      I also believe that the unnecessary bloodshed of the American Revolution polluted the wellsprings of our nation at the very start, and our hands still drip with our prolonged passion for unnecessary bloodshed like the Iraq War you supported.
      "The American Revolution Was A Grave Mistake, Poisoning The Nation's Wellspring At The Source"
      "George Carlin Describes America's Dumbf*ck Quandary"
      (In the embedded link "You Have No Choice," click on "We Love War")
      Do I believe my view of The American Revolution is absolutely right?
      Do I espouse "The One, True View"?
      Hell no.
      However, the argument that The American Revolution was a colossal mistake is a view that makes good sense to me.
      If you want to hold another view, you're welcome to do so.
      But!
      You have no choice in the matter. You MUST hold another view - a view that supports that "The Inviolable Goodness of The Founding Fathers."
      And it is here that we confront a categorical difference between theocratic "True Believers" and people who believe in the rich (and enriching) diversity of Democracy.
      You MUST believe what you believe, while I am free to believe what I believe.
      And I make room for the beliefs of others - as long as those beliefs do not aspire to replace Democracy with an entirely different kind of governance - in your case, Theocracy masquerading as Democracy.
      You mistake your self-imposed shackles for freedom.
