>> “And they got together and swore a pact to the devil. They said, ‘We will serve you if you will get us free from the French.’ True story. And so, the devil said, ‘OK, it’s a deal.’”
What a stupid remark! What a jackass! <<
Also you cannot hold someone culpable for the sins of their father or grand gather or however many great grandfathers it was ago....
That is like saying, “You great great great grandfather killed three people so now you go to jail” It is reparations “like” talk in blaming the ancestors.
If you want to say the Bible is false, then say it. But the Bible says this:
” You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.”
Take it or leave it, but the Bible is not a cafeteria plan. Sorry.
I WANT to. I refuse to enter the self-destructive, self-defeating VICTIM ("IT'S ALWAYS SOMEBODY ELSE'S FAULT") MENTALITY. I'm a lot smarter than that!
One of the smartest things I ever learned was to take full responsibility for myself and my actions! This put me in charge of my own destiny, and it has served me very well!
Leftists love to encourage "victimhood". They love to get "victims" under their control--and subject them to exploitation. To them everybody's a "victim" of one kind or another--and nobody is self-reliant, responsible for his/her own actions, or, consequently, in control of his/her destiny. That's why all these "victims" need Leftist leaders--who tend to be sociopaths or other predators.
But I am not responsible for anybody else's actions, including my ancestors. If they goofed up, they're responsible. I'm not.
