People like you are why I no longer associate with Christians. I am sick and tired of people telling me that their faith is superior to my reason. What we need is fewer people telling us all what we need. How are you any different than a “progressive”. If your kind ever get into power you will be no better. How about believing in Liberty and individualism. That is what this country was founded on. I’ll tell you this, if this country falls to a dictatorship it won’t be of the progressive kind. Those ideas have so thoroughly failed, as we are all about to witness. No it will be the hatred of the mind and reason that will open the door for the next dictator to take control and it will be people like you who will be the first to agree.

The scandals of this week prove we are in trouble.

“I am sick and tired of people telling me that their faith is superior to my reason. “


From the Biblical perspective, only Christians have any reason at all. The world is totally mad.

“What we need is fewer people telling us all what we need.”


I think we need more of them:

Rom_10:15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

“How are you any different than a “progressive”.”


Progressives agree with you and want us gone.

“If your kind ever get into power you will be no better.”


That’s what the progressives say. Just google site:Moveon.org Theocracy and give it a read.

“How about believing in Liberty and individualism.”


We already do. We believe that the man in his sin is the slave of sin, and that freedom is effected by Jesus Christ.

“That is what this country was founded on.”


Our Founders, like Samuel Adams or George Washington, would assert we were founded by God.

“I’ll tell you this, if this country falls to a dictatorship it won’t be of the progressive kind. Those ideas have so thoroughly failed, as we are all about to witness. No it will be the hatred of the mind and reason that will open the door for the next dictator to take control and it will be people like you who will be the first to agree.”


Great, you just told half the website they’re something like fascists in waiting.

By denigrating those who hold to a different conclusion than yours, you also are telling us your reasoning is superior to theirs, whom you want to engage in censuring. Truth is exclusive by nature and it is liberalism that wants to deny that, while, like Islam, they want to mandate conformity to their ideology without debate. In addition, the objectively baseless moral reasoning of atheism can justify anything as reasonable.
