1 | Is civil disobedience OK when... | Prov 3:13 | khuck | 105030 | ||
Hi Steve! I always Love your responses, to these questions, they are always presented well and well thought out. No apologies required! I understand the meaning of Civil disobedience, (now I am going to date myself) I remember Martin Luther King coming to our neighborhood in Chicago speaking to the young people during the riots and asking that they turn to peaceful modes of protest, watching those young and old black people on the news being hosed down, because the law did not allow them to vote, and Rosa took a seat near the front of the bus breaking the law and being arrested. (Civil Disobedoence I truly understand) But what I hope you will expound upon is the term, Violation of my conscience or your conscience. Can you help? Love hearing from you... -Kathy |

2 | Is civil disobedience OK when... | Prov 3:13 | stjones | 105123 | ||
Hi, Kathy; Thanks for your kind words. You've already received other responses, but I'll follow up anyway. I described what I think is one form of "violation of conscience" - when to accept the current situation is to stand by and see fellow citizens suffer intolerable treatment. To remain passive in the face of oppression is to participate in the oppression, especially if one has the power to oppose or alter it. The second kind of "violation of conscience" is when the civil authorities compel one to act in a way contrary to one's own consience. Graduating from high school in 1963, I knew many young men who evaded or resisted the draft out of fear or pure selfishness. I knew a few who evaded the draft because their consciences would not allow them to kill somebody or help another to do the killing. Hope this helps. Peace and grace, Steve aka Indiana Jones |

Thank you Steve :) It really does help... the only thing that kept coming to my mind was the conscientious objectors during the vietnam era, but I was not sure if it would be the same thing. That the question posed. I do agree with the answers that you and EdB contributed to the thread. Learn something new everyday. I thank both you and Kalos for the extra assist. y'all are great! (grin) -Kathy |
