To fight to maintain freedom is not an ultimate waste of time. When our political leaders tell us what they are doing and we just let them, then we deserve the consequences that our apathy brings us. I don't chase conspiracy theories nor do I dream them up. Read the quotes I posted again and again and again then go read the two founding documents of this country. I prefer to stick with the two founding documents put together by some of the bravest men in history who desired freedom for all. Somehow I think God desires freedom for His people also. But his people (see Laodicea) are lazy and lukewarm and prefer to just "let be what will be" but when the fallout of that philosophy comes after them, they will look back and say "Why didn't I do something?" No doubt, Mercy, you would have thought that men like Sam Adams, Ben Franklin, George Washington, etc. were whacky too even though you owe your freedom to them.
You assume entirely too much Michael. First, I do not nor have I ever considered myself to be apathetic. Secondly, I am hardly lazy or lukewarm. Third, I am doing something to help further the Gospel message. The question I posed to Daniel, I will pose it to you as well; which is more important writing long posts that demonize the US government or spreading the Gospel message?
You know, to be honest if the government is as corrupt as you believe, I wouldn't be all that surprised. However, I WILL NEVER spend my days fighting to prove something that is of no Kingdom value. Whose soul is going to be saved from hell by my convincing them that a vast conspriacy exsists? Very few in my eyes, very few Michael.
And no I do not consider the afore mentioned men whacky, that is simply your assumption again Michael.
Anyway, we could go around and around. And likely you would still consider me full of apathy, lazy, and lukewarm and I would still consider you a bit whacky and over the edge concerning this matter.
