Some not believing "essential truth" may be NOT BE from a negative motive.. Could be they must believe as they do according to the 2nd reality they live in.. I do not fault them for that..
The competition between truth and UNtruth proves the truth.. and challenges the UNtruth, always.. I believe it is a Holy Drama.. And Free Republic highlights that drama.. After all whom has total truth among us.. I appreciate the reparte'...
Almost universally I agree with you(so far), at least that that I can understand that you transcribe.. Sometimes you go over my head.. Spiritual merging might cure that(BookOFWorms).. but that is for a future time.. Same with me to you but I appreciate your spirit..
Morals observed, is observed, in different ways.. which is a drama all its own.. Free Republic has been beautifully preserved (by Jim Robinson) to allow that drama.. I relish his wisdom.. It takes a boatload of UNtruth to cover up ONE truth.. As the EVOS (and other closet liberals) prove daily..
I try very hard myself not to "fault them" for that. But to the extent that I value Truth above all else, I find forgiveness very difficult under the circumstances. Fortunately, I am no man's judge.... That's God's job.
May the Lord forgive me my shortcomings.
FreeRepublic really is a "microcosm" in its diversity of opinion, isn't it? And JimRob affords hospitality to all points of view -- provided the respondents observe the rules of civil, rational, good-faith debate....
Thanks so much for writing, dear hosepipe!
