Do we want diversity?
The Columbus Ledger-Inquirer | 17 August 2000 | Jesse F.

Let's take a serious look at the idea of diversity that is bandied about and parroted by some. On the surface, it might appear to be a desireable quality; but is it?

Does a field commander, an admiral or a wing commander want diversity or unity in their units? Over many centuries, people have found that in "unity" there is strength -- unit of purpose, language, action and spirit. Diversity will not build a safe skyscraper, airplane, bridge, watch, scales, religious system or army. The strongest political, military, religious and social units are those that are unified, having a common direction, goal, purpose, language and effort.

Is true that, in human inventions where new ideas are sought, diverse ideas and methods can be examined and tested to arrive at a cohesive, practical and unified finished product. But in spiritual and religious matters, we have "all that pertains unto life and godliness," (2 Peter 1:3). Moral ethical, and religious values are already determined, and fixed.

Any Biblically informed person can see that in matters of race and ethnicity, which are not matters of behavior nor choice, we must accept all nations. But in matters of sinful behavior we must neither accept nor encourage it, but, in love, point out the danger of self-destruction to those who continue in their sins.

The Lord does not accept diversity in moral and spiritual matters. It would be un-Christian to accept the behavior of homosexuals, pedophiles, prostitutes and pimps under the guise of "diversity."

According to the Bible, the Lord expects His people to exclude, and discriminate against, sinful practices that destroy the purity and spiritual health of His people; but not to attack those who participate in such sinful practices them physically. That's what Biblical love is.

>Do we want diversity?<

.
It is way too late to even bring the subject up — the deed is done.

We are more balkanized than the entire Balkan ever was which by itself is abnormal and unnatural.

From now on it will bite us in the butt deeper and deeper.

"Diversitah" is code for "kill Whitey."

diversity is misleading.
at the DNC, there is no diversity.
it is a “group mind”.
=
similarly, there isn’t diversity,
between Jim DeMint, and Thomas Sowell.
=
core beliefs, of a moral and Christian people,
are all that matters.

Diversity for the sake of diversity sucks.

It is just another technique politicians and social engineers have developed to keep people in splinter groups and make control of them easier.

During his time in Athens, Paul was disturbed by an altar bearing the inscription: “To The Unknown God.” Sadly, I see that altar as a picture of today’s America. Our diversity culture seeks to adopt all “truth” into one collective truth so that there ultimately is no real truth.

And what about the Jews?

Wasn't that kind of the point in Genesis 11:1-9 ?

I have the clipping. Private mail me and I’ll send you a scan of it. Couldn’t find it in the archives at the online site. Since it’s truth, they may have deleted it from the archives. Can they be sued for that?

Do we want diversity.

We'd all like to have a choice between blondes and brunettes.

That being said, what we actually want is UNITY. As in "United We Stand".

Diversity happens in a free nation, but there is no excuse to promote division, which is what the left wants. Diversity best serves us when it is coupled with ACCLIMATION of cultural values. Then the said minority actually has an equal chance at survival.

Left, as it always does, perverts the entire issue and throws the system out of balance in order to destroy it.

Resistance in this case is therefore the highest form of patriotism.

You heard this from me, and me and my lily white butt have fooled Brasilians and other Latinos into thinking I'm either Brasilian or Cuban at one point or another, much to the amusement of our other friends in the group at the time.

Love and appreciate the best that people have to share. Reject and rebuke the division and evil that the left would have us all suffer.

The #ing Left hijacks otherwise meaningful words.

Do we want diversity? Why not?

Do we want “diversity”? Hell no!
