My concerns are in evidence in our country, not some irrational hypothetical fear.

However, that should not prevent us striving towards those respective ideals.
And do you always talk like you swallowed a dictionary?Last edited by Sparko; 07-08-2020, 01:12 PM.

Originally posted by Sparko View PostYour avoidance speaks volumes. Every instance of an actual Marxist state has been an utter failure and a testament to human misery. So that answers your initial commentary as to "I still fail to comprehend the American bogeyman of 'Marxism/Socialism'"
However, within Christianity [as with most religions] there are humane and compassionate precepts and ideals. That the majority of Christians and their leaders have invariably failed to adhere to those is another matter.

What culture and history has been erased that you would like restored?

It is a long acquired habit that [to use a phrase] goes with the job!
I will readily admit that we as fallable Christians do not always follow the ideals and teachings of our Lord Jesus. I will also admit that we will never see those ideals accomplished until Jesus returns. But we do try and many times succeed in caring and compassion and taking care of the needy, etc.
Marxism on the other hand never even tries to fulfill these ideals you claim they represent. They have never even come close to those ideals. So I am not questioning the shared ideals themselves, but does Marxism really have those ideals in common with us at all? The only equality in Marxism is in misery. Everyone is equally miserable and poor. Except those at the top of course. The Elite Ruling class that Marxism claims they want to eliminate seems to be the first thing they instate and then use to oppress the people they claim they are helping. Marxism is a lie.

Just from a purely strategic standpoint, naming the organization Black Lives Matter and circulating it as a slogan was a brilliant move. That way it sounds really bad to say that you oppose it; especially when many people (as mentioned before) don't know that it's a specific organization."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

A) You can't speak bad about BLM
2) Every law enforcement officer I've ever talked to has a very bad opinion of BLM
C) If we're going to provide a united front, why use a vehicle that is so divisive?The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
