Stop what?
I thought free speech was a right.
I commend CK for having the guts to say what many are afraid to say.
This was an execution murder plain and simple.
I would never forgive myself if I had not spoken out against this travesty.
Too many Christians and too many churches do nothing. They are standing idly by, they are mere spectators. They sit on the sidelines instead of actively participating and working for the good. If good wins, they join in the celebration though they did nothing to produce the victory. If evil wins, they will complain long and loud though their own apathy helped produce the undesirable result.
When Jesus found a fig tree with "nothing thereon, but leaves only" He cursed the tree and "presently the fig tree withered away" (Matt. 21:19). What will He do with those who claim to be good and yet who do nothing? John the baptist warned, "And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire" (Matt. 3:10; John 15:2).
Ok, I should have explained I was being sarcastic. In another post someone said we needed to stop the rancor. I come to the FreeRepublic to learn, to vent, and to sometimes do what CK did. Within conservative thought there is a lot of nuance, and this is a good place to debate it. If I were in Terri Schiavo's place I would want to die, but that is a far cry from believing that gives me the right to hold back food and water till she dies. I am still both highly disturbed and confused on exactly how we got to the place where we can go through a so called legal process where the end game is to dehydrate someone to death. It's almost as if we believe we can create a process in which no matter what outrage we come up with, it's perfectly ok to do what we just did to Terri so long as we followed the process. Sometimes, when you look at results you know the process was wrong no matter how perfect it seemed at the time. I think rancor is good on occasion and CK said what a lot of us feel.
