Bible Note: Contrary view ................................. Dear Hank, I don't want to pick on you, because it seems like many people are saying the same thing you are. I'm just responding to this post, because it's the last one I read. I'm a little tired of everybody talking so much about freedom. Yeah, it's great that we live in a country that has it, but is it really worth killing people over. I'm glad that I can say what I want, and go to a church building in broad daylight, and get as many groceries as I can afford at Wal-Mart. However, none of these things are really necessary. None of them are INHO worth killing someone to hold onto. If I were punished for my speaking, so be it. If I couldn't get anything at Wal-Mart, God would provide. And if I could go to a church building in broad daylight, I could meet in my house at night. If I was caught and killed, so be it. I do not fear those who can kill my body. What I'm trying to say is that in America, we have overvalued freedom and personal rights. This is partly to blame for why our society is so selfish and is falling apart. But it is also why so many good people are confused into thinking that they should kill people just to hold onto those things. It makes me a little upset, and I've been in kind of a bad mood today anyway. So I better leave things for today and come back tommorrow, when I can live up to my name and keep things "Pent" up better. |
