Christians of all stripes need to get some tough hides. Too often, we, and that includes myself, cringe when confronted and stay silent.
Funny. It always (and only) seems to protect hate speech aimed at the sensitivities of traditional Americans.
Evil acts evil. Funny huh.
I would suggest it’s a matter of practice. Get your gospel faith down square, say it from the heart. The bible doesn’t say never get angry. It says be angry but do not sin. Anything good you do will reflect the goodness of God in some manner.
In the Garden, God furnished Adam and Eve with leather garments in place of their attempted dress of fig leaves. That is recorded as a literal event, but that seems to have metaphorical meaning on top of that (that is often true of biblical events).
Grace is of mega importance in this picture. Grace means you don’t have to get everything perfect in order to make a telling point. Stop expecting perfection on earth, start expecting progress.
Not sure what that was supposed to go to (I got a Not Found) but this is no longer a day where the “enemy” is conveniently outside. When he’s your next best buddy, it’s harder to condemn standing up for his cause.
Its not Cuomo’s fault, he comes from a long line of morons..must be genetic
The old pillars have rotted.
What to do, but build new pillars. Crying over spilt milk doesn’t help anything.
Remember how liberal logic works..having a Piss On Christ day and mocking Mormons is A OK, but having a cartoon about Mohammed is considered hate speech
RE: Its not Cuomo’s fault, he comes from a long line of morons..must be genetic
I wonder if Andrew Cuomo believes the same thing he does....
They have no core principles,
only core agendas.
The edifice has lost its reliance upon a larger framework of absolute truth. The need for such a framework was so apparent, and one was so handy to early America (those who came for the sake of religious freedom brought the Judeo-Christian bible along with them), that it was accepted.
Well, this is causing the edifice to crumble.
Cuomo is not literally stupid as in moronic — he is foolish enough to fail to notice this existential question.
Which largely seems to be that whatever the traditional principles used to be, now we HAAAAAAAAATE them.
The Constitution is not a suicide pact. That is, until it is.

Muslims are not rational people.
That was a rather gross case. And it did depend on a clear idea of who’s an enemy.
The gospel will cut through this Gordian knot with the uncomfortable revelation that we are ALL the enemy, but the One we’ve been fighting has offered a gracious truce beyond our possible imagination.
This is not an “ism.” It has some elements of religion but goes beyond where religion goes (with religion you are polishing up something that is considered fundamentally okay). Modern political conservatism does not embrace the mercy side very well. Liberalism has attempted to do that, but they have a silly putty “God” with no standards so nothing definite can ever be produced.
Let’s guess who will decide what is hate speech and what is not.
Pray America is waking
