When you separate morals and ethics from government, you are dealing with a corrupt and murderous monster. You saw it in Hitlers Germany, Stalins Soviet Union and most thrid world hell holes.
Western Ethics and morals are religion to these idiots because these prinicipals are rooted in the wisdom of the Bible and were put into practice in our Judeo-Christian system of law and culture.
This anti-ethical libertarian mentality is so simple minded and stupid, its hard to imagine anyone who has lived longer than five minutes and who is not totally evil, could arrive at such conclusions.
The author was exactly right, Christs kingdom is not of this world and when Christians start trying to run it it will turn out just like the the last time they were running it, would any one want to be told just what the scripture meant?
Can any one show me where Jesus said we were supposed to rule the world?
I will vote for what i think Jesus would say is right, but i do not want some one dictating to me and i have no right to dictate to some one else, and i believe that is what the author is saying, also i hate queerdom and every thing that it stands for but it is really animosity toward God, what better way could any one show their hate toward God, I will vote against same sex marriage but will that solve the real problem? i don,t think so, it will just make me feel better.
If one could understand Rev it sure would be nice i think, but at any rate Jesus said i go and prepare a place for you so that where i am you will be also. so we need to understand that good things are not going to happen here on this planet if they were why would he go and prepare a place?
Paul said that if our hope is in this life only, we are most miserable of all men, the unbelievers know that they are going to die, so we knowing that there is another life that we look forward to but still put all our hope in this life we will be more disappointed than they, and if we spend so much time worrying about what is happening in satans world then we could miss the one that is to come.
What you misunderstand is that morality is legislated everyday by law-making bodies. They cram whatever morality they have the votes for. There is no question that governments drift toward craziness over time. At some point it will be OK to kill certain people (who don’t have the votes)(example: euthanasia). Governments get like that and do it all the time. You can surely cite numerous murderous governments. We have been protected here by the Judeo-Christian ethical standard, but it is cracking.
