Intolerant atheists go after Gov. Walker’s religious tweet

Well, here we go again, the oh so very tolerant secular humanist liberal progressives are showing their ignorance of America’s Judeo-Christian faith heritage. As reported in The Christian Post, “A Wisconsin-based atheist organization has demanded that Governor Scott Walker remove a posting on his Twitter feed that is religious in nature. The Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) stated Tuesday that they took exception to Walker’s official account, including a tweet posted Sunday that simply read, “Philippians 4:13.” As rendered by the New King James Version, Philippians 4:13 states, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

“Call the intolerant “Haters”. Over and over and over. For they are.”

Yes, they are. Still, I do not like the notion that a person can be pigeon-holed based solely on the fact that he hates something.

There are lots of things that are hateful and should be hated. All leftist thought, child molesting, forcing people into prostitution, mayonnaise—the list is long.

Leftists hate the good; we hate evil. Their hatred is not on the same moral plane as ours, and we shouldn’t agree that it is. Not even if people will hate us for saying so.

And if they continued their shrill opposition, they would look increasingly like fools and extremists in the publics' eye.

You are correct sir.

“The best answer, but one he lacks the stones to deliver, would be “FU atheist a-holes.” -—”

A response of such a nature would be utterly out of character for Gov. Walker. He will not join his critics in the gutter. And that requires bigger “stones” than would responding in kind.

And I LOVE that he has a God-Centered Marriage! And his kids are well-behaved and respectful, not surley and smugg and ‘entitled’ like the current crop in the White House. :)

His kids are super. I’ve had dinner with those kids, from time to time (at Republican events), since they were really little. They were always well behaved, even when they were little tykes and it was getting late in the evening. Now, the oldest is in college and he even “friended” me on Facebook!

I agree with you. That would not show the respect his office deserves.
He would be a superb president because of his character, his strength, and his demeanor.

Nothing wrong with that biblical quotation.

“And that requires bigger “stones” than would responding in kind.”

That entire line of thinking is self-defeating.

Perhaps not, but I wasn’t engaging in marketing.

When you are selling your ideas to the public, you are engaged in marketing. If you don’t understand this, you lose.

I’m not selling. My intent is to say true things in conversations with others who share that intent.

If simple declarative sentences will not suffice, then I’m not in it.
