Recent report from the voice of the martyrs : 2 chinese women beaten to death for passing out christian literature. It's TRUTH vs LIES. Where do you stand? With Jesus or with liars, wherever they may be found. HE wasn't afraid of someone's PC "sensibilities" : Lawyers, LIARS, pharisees, hypocrites. Those 2 women gave their very LIVES for the TRUTH, as HE did, on the cross...
Of course, for the truth. Have put my life on the line for it a number of times.
But there are ways to stand for truth hereon that will allow you to continue to do so. And ways that won't.
JimRob quite reasonably and honorably expects and requires us to treat fellow FREEPERS with at least a surface civility. That's not a bad standard and goal for fellow conservatives.
But we can certainly still fiercely defend the truth--as long as we don't make it personal to another FREEPER.
I don't like the willful blindness, seeming lying; wholesale distortions and untruths that are often spread about here--often seemingly from shallow stupid ignorance and stubborn pride. But I can only speak the truth in love--ofetn enough in fierceness and love and ask God to deal with the jerky stuff.
