Can I Say 'Sex?'

Print (?)

Whenever I hear left wing propaganda like that spewed out in the sixties,that practically tore this country apart,I feel a chill in my bones. Hey man,the sixties is over so get of off that free love,anti-establishment,hollywood knows whats best,social immoral soapbox. You know whats more immoral than a war that you didnt start and that you are only fighting because 3000 Americans were killed in a single day? Its people like you acting like you represent the majority of what Americans think. I dont want my grandkids maturbating or having sex,but if they are going to do it,than they dont need any state or other groups sponsorship. Kids will experiment like we all did and parents have a moral responsibility as does the government to back parents up to fight this cultural war against Hollywood,the media and all you other left wing loonies. God is good and there aint nothing wrong with trying to be moral and do whats right. Freedom is just an excuse for irresponsible people to justify their sinful behavior and to ask for wide acceptance for what should never be accepted. For too many year Christians and other God fearing people sat around and let left wing anti-GOD people turn this country the other way and we wont let the few destroy a GOD fearing country. This country was founded my pilgrims who fled the old countries seeking religous freedom. This is a GOD fearing country and thats the way it will always be. GOD put his hand in this last election and George Bush prevailed because GOD motivated Christians to get out and vote for a moral and good man. As far as the Iraq war goes, it wasnt the main focus of the war on terror,but now that we are there we should finish the job and support the troops that are over there. I remember coming home from vietnam and being spit on at an airport and then a couple of fellas trying to throw me out of a bar because I was in uniform. I never killed and babies or innocent women! My only crime was to defend my country! So all you liberals sit down and shut up!!!

...and this is why I love doing this site. Because all comments are welcomed. Because the freedom to air an opinion (no matter how wrong-headed we think it is) is respected. Because...in this country where, as tthe writer above has said, we have religious freedom--we also have the freedom to not believe what you believe. Because unlike the God-fearing regimes of, say, the Taliban or the Ayatollah, in this country we have (or did, until this administration) a clear-cut division of church and state, not to mention the right to our opinions--whether majority, minority, mainstream, or slightly to the right of Mars.

This whole idea of "God fearing" is something more political than religious. If I get the tone of the message above, by religious conviction I am required to align my political beliefs with those of the conservative right and any deviation from this narrow definition is deserving of dismissal.

I've said here before that I believe the religious right (and by extension the Republican party) is a movement of exclusion. One based on fear and the principals of lock-step obedience. Unfortunately, it legitimizes intolerance and supposes that whatever the administration does is OK with God.

Well, I 'm a Christian, and I don't ever remember being taught that God was to be feared. My God is not a vengeful God. My God is forgiving, compassionate and loving. If therefore I believe, I must strive to practice those same qualities,

I believe God wants us to choose understanding over insistence, forgiveness over condemnation and compassion over ignorance. And that my friend, is why I do not fear God, but humbly ask him for the gift of wisdom in a world of fear and hate.

I do, however fear this post-election scolding. I wouldn't call it a mandate when nearly half the country voted against the sitting administration. More disturbing however is the insistence by the "other half" (the winning half) that I quell my beliefs, jump on the President's bandwagon and support everything with mindless "God-fearing" obedience.

My moral compass does not spin on the whim of a President.
