Hey, wait, don't go! We're not so bad, once you get to know us! ;-)
It seems that you are genuinely trying to understand things that are going AGAINST what you've 'always thought/believed'. And in spite of what you may see here, not everyone is BORN a FReeper, or understanding of what 'we' represent.
If you 'dare', explain what YOU consider as 'sovereignity'.
There's so much MORE than can be said. But what you read here are not simply opinions. They are beliefs. Beliefs that HAVE worked. Beliefs that come out of a country that KNOWS where such beliefs COME from. Beliefs that come from NO man, NO country, NO set of laws. HE is sovereign. And no matter the name you call Him by, it is what 'we' wish for others to know the freedom of.
Semantics?
You are most welcome to 'FReep mail' me if you don't feel comfortable discussing things here.
