I know YOU haven’t implied this. I’m sorry to have been misunderstood. And I certainly didn’t mean to offend you in any way.
I know MANY many ‘Christians’ who think ‘render unto Caesar’ means ‘acquiesce to any governmental dictate regardless of how evil or unChristian’. Because ‘Jesus said render unto Caesar’.
This is just dumb thinking on their part.
Just like ‘hey, they won a battle, we lost, let’s just pick up our toys and go home...’ like this lady is suggesting...
If we stop fighting. they win. FOREVER (at least until Gabriels trumpet sounds...)
Just ask mostly atheist East Germany how that one works...going to hell, intergenerationally now...because it was easier to lie back and think of England and allow their children to be indoctrinated atheists than stand up and face danger for speaking out. And their ‘taxes’ (it was communism, actually it was all their material goods) paid for it. Where’s that millstone scripture again?
Many ‘Christians’ are sending their KINDERGARDNERS to schools that teach ‘Gay History Month’ and discuss, precisely, what constitutes ‘gay’. Where’s that millstone scripture again? And the property taxes of these parents is being used to PAY for their childrens moral corruption. Rather than face any social consequences of protest, I know of one ‘Christian’ parent who DEFENDS this. ‘I’d rather them learn it in school than on the street’. Lie back and think of England! It’s easier!
When, exactly, do Christians draw the line against the willful monetary support of killing, maiming and corrupting children? It seems all that’s needed on the part of *most* Christians is a ‘legal ruling’ and anti biblical practices become magically ‘OK’ overnight. Caesar said so! Just because they’re ‘afraid’ of what will happen if they speak out...
It's just that the way forward is not clear. For instance, we have to vote against Obama, yet Romney's back to saying, "I'm a good guy, I do care about poor people, look at my insurance plan in Massachusetts, it proves that I care." Yeah, the Romneycare $50 copay abortion.
< If employers continue paying insurance premiums, they'll be paying for intrnsic evils described as "benefits."
If employers dumpinsurance, they've dumped the moral dilemma onto their employees, who then have the legal obligation to sign up for some damn policy or be individually penalized.
People are asking, "Do I need a vote, a lawsuit, or a gun?"
Myself, I'll be praying in front of the local abortion clinic. Which reminds me, I've got to get going and make some phone calls.
