We respect others' choices, based on what God leads them to do. It would be nice if others (who claim to be Christians) would do the same for us.

Of course, most FReepers, me included, respect you and your opinions. But it isn't an issue of respect, really. Our country has gone to hell in a hand-basket, for the most part, because for the last three decades, the majority of citizens have been indoctrinated in our government school system, in a philosophical mold based upon a Hellnistic model and the civil religion of our time, secular humanism. A Christian, or any conservative for that matter, has to be blind or totally ignorant not to see what effect all this has had on our society and culture. Have you ever listened to the Sean Hannity program, when he does his "man in the street" interviews? Most graduates of our government schools have no knowledge of our nation's history, it's founders, the core beliefs upon which our nation was founded. Instead, they have been indoctrinated in "tolerance" of perversion, worship of the earth, ecofeminism, you name it. It is not that you are not respected. It is that we're trying to effect a paradigm shift in our culture and society. The only way for that to really happen is for committed, courageous parents to remove their children from the propaganda mills. The government indoctrination system is too far gone. Throwing our precious little ones, the nation's future, into these cesspools is akin to throwing sheep into a pack of wolves. A decade ago, I might have been persuaded otherwise. No more.

Oh, yes it is, ppaul. I've tried to maintain a respectful and Christ-like attitude on this thread, and in return I've been called immoral, evil, and comparable to one sending one's Jewish aunt to vacation on the Rhine in 1942.

Some of you folks may call yourselves Christians, but many of you have gotten your own political opinions twisted up in self-righteous judgements of people and things of which you are totally ignorant.

Many of you aren't the kind of people I care to spend time with, and it isn't because I've drawn other conclusions, or disagree with some of your positions. It's because you are so blatantly intolerant of anyone who does not share your narrow worldview, that you are the antithesis of what a true Christian is supposed to be.

My children, my husband and I have been able to share the love of Christ in our school district. We have made a difference in this world because of our choice to stay involved in the public schools, and have not been ashamed of the Gospel. To tell the truth, I have rarely seen the ugliness in the 'world' that I have seen right here on this thread from some of you, and I seriously doubt that anyone lurking would be drawn to Christ by reading what you have written here. I hope you stay away from public schools. They don't need to see such negative examples of what Christianity is all about.

My prayer is that my life will reflect the love of the Lord wherever I am (even in anonymity on a forum such as this), and I thank God that our children, who have been nurtured at home, and strengthened by being in public schools, are not as filled with arrogance and hate as you so-called christians are.

I have pinged some of you who have been civil in this discussion, and I thank you for doing that, but I would caution you to see what kind of company you are keeping here.

Worth repeating! "The time to hesitate is through. No time to wallow in the mire!"

Hear hear. Couldn't have said it better, dude.
