And just where do you think our moral compass comes from? I happen to have learned a great deal from the religious threads. Especially in the town square.... This has also encouraged and increased my understandings of politics...as the two, contrary to some opinions, are not seperated. Rather the last I looked we are still a nation "Under God".
Yes the passions go wild and rough...but in standing for ones religious convictions, which is primary, one learns also the deceptive ways of men in the politcal arena and how to identify. The same tactics used by liberals/progressive are those used when introducing false or misleading doctrines. And the turf gets equally as combative.
When I first came here I ducked going into those threads. I couldn't understand then....Now I stand not only for my faith "unafraid" but for my country. If any think Christianity is simply a walk in the park among those without today... your head is in the sand.
We fight on two fronts...not just one..both hold the line. Just a hint...the scroll button works wonders.
