Hey buddy,
Let me preface this with the fact that I am not a Christian.
I know your bible pretty decently; Was raised in it, in fact.
And I decided to become a friendly pagan later in life.
But I don't see anything you're saying that conflicts with my mindset.
I love America. The real one. The original experiment in self-ownership.
The only place where you could be born without being born into debt.
A Republic.....that our ancestors couldn't hang onto.
So now we have a horrible facsimile of a Republic; Taxing us to death and installing new figureheads every couple years to keep us intrigued.
New puppets....Same old stories.
Lather. Rinse. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.
I believe in a Creator. So you and I are not terribly different there.
But I also believe our creator isn't going to make things easy for us.
We're not meant to be a bunch of angels lounging around on feather beds.
We're meant to be heroes.
We're meant to create legends whether by word or by deed.
We're meant to be pawns to the gods....but not pawns to other men.
I have spoken.
America is designed to have "God" or "The Creator" as the top or highest ruling power.
Founding Fathers just never specified who that "God" or "The Creator" actually is.
They were Christians / Catholic (one) / Deists though. I still have to finish this completely to know for sure. I think I have it right thought for now at least.
Again they never specified though.
We are supposed to all be able to talk.
It's why I don't like "anti-semitic" hate speech laws alone on college campuses or that we can't boycott or not support israel (fake israel on a map) in many areas of life alone to as well. It takes away my right to follow my God or The Christian / Catholic God completely in some if not most parts.
"Free speech zones" and the idea that certain things cannot be said ON CAMPUS, OF ALL PLACES is absolutely antithetical to the idea of actual "Free Speech".
Free speech is being able to walk up to a politician, or a lawyer, or a banker, and say to him that he's fucking wrong; Free from the fear of being beaten, or jailed, or disappeared.
As long as they are public and such.
If they are private they get to specify their own rules to me personally (within reason).
Private businesses and private colleges can specify their own rules as long as it's not unconstitutional and such if not dirty / corrupt and/or illegal obviously as well (other stuff I forgot to as well).
I believe heavily in private property rights (because I don't like communism or jew communism at all for that matter). Anything public that all goes out the window and it's the law of the land at that point.
If they don't support something people can always freely expose them if not freely express themselves to as well and see if others agree and such outside of all of that alone.
