So, what then? Do we shoot to kill everyone who disagrees with us? If we’re not supposed to be civil, then what?

Remember something: The Christians that were persecuted by the Roman Empire were burned at the stake, crucified, fed to lions, attacked, ridiculed, and so forth. In no instance I can ever remember did I ever hear of them fighting back.

Meek is not weak. It is power under control. We can rationally argue our case without being ‘in your face’. We can be civil. Commies, libs, and Marxists cannot. They attack us, who looks better?

Yes...we turn the other cheek. If you’re a Christian, even if you are KILLED, it matters not. WE know where we GO when we’re done on this Earth. And we know where THEY go as well.

Yes, you are right. We are civil because we are civil. We are civil generally even when our opponents are not. We generally treat everyone with respect, even our opponents, because that is the way we are, or at least, that is how we aspire to be.

But if a communist asks you to sign an agreement promising to be civil, when you are civil anyway by nature, you should probably check the fine print. Or better yet, keep your pen in your pocket.

WOW!

Holy happy slave, Batman!

This is the precise kind of unconsciousness, and destruction of the survival instinct, that communists and ALL tyrants seek, including those in the church.

You are the perfect subject.

Well done.

I can tell you of one Christian who fought back.....

George Washington....and God’s divine providence is what saved him in battle time after time....

Had THAT “christian” not stood up to evil (along w/many many other christians and yes, preachers....You and I wouldn’t be debating and scrambling right now trying to hold on to our freedoms....b/c they wouldn’t exist in the first place....
