Tolerance

Tolerance is the byword today. Not mine. I am intolerant of cold weather. That would be weather below 60f. Especially when in is far enough below 60 to freeze the plumbing.

I've heard it said that Christians should apologize for the crusades. Odd thing is you can't ask for an apology from Islam for the slaughter of non-believers of mohamed during the expansion of that religion. Nor even for the modern day persecution of Christians throughout the world.

I haven't heard any frenchman's apology for the theft of Huguenot (can never remember how that is spelled) property and lives when my ancestors were run out of that country for apparently believing and trusting the king of France.

Personally, I do not apologize for slavery in this country. Yes it was real, yes human beings were bought and sold, (and for those unfamiliar with the darker side of Louisiana history it wasn't just africans who suffered this, but whites as well as every other race and ethnic group) yes it was a stupid and short sighted solution to an agrarian problem, but it is history and I don't apologize for things beyond my control. No one asked me if it was ok. In case you seek permission, the answer is no! Just ask my kids. Pop's number one answer to most questions.

I guess what it boils down to is this:
If you are truly a Christian, you can't criticize anyones morals (or lack there-of).
If you are truly a Christian, you can't talk to God outside of your closet.
If you are truly a Christian, you can't have moral standards of your own (you bigot. You're making everyone else look bad).
If you are truly a Christian, you can't use history to tell the truth.
If you are truly a Christian, you can't use the Bible to correct people or your own children.


If you are truly a Christian, you know the devil wants you to shut up and he will use all of the world to try to force you to be quiet.

Well guess what people, I am a Christian and I will not be silent. America is doomed because it has forgotten it's past and the mistakes of europe are back to haunt us again. America has forgotten the Lord who made it possible and like Israel of ancient times, we seek to have a "king" like everyone else does and like Israel of ancient times, we may very well get one. I have predicted (not prophesied) anarchy in the past and I still believe it. Not problems in 2012 but anarchy in 2043. I'll be 90 and genetically the odds are good that I will live to see it. But as God wills, so be it. I am ready now.
