Hence my wish (my Supplier's too) is that Christians of all denominations gather together. Some, I am afraid, are already too far gone and in the Abyss. But the remainder, men and woman who acknowledge Christ, MUST sort out their differences and return to Unity. The civilisation is under severe attack and is liable to fall unless a concerted effort from a Unified source can restore it's vitality.Amfortashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07474382097575605017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776872662073607566.post-50670512841187534052015-08-09T23:28:49.689+10:002015-08-09T23:28:49.689+10:00Well, I am a protestant, if a non-denominational o...Well, I am a protestant, if a non-denominational one. I agree with your origins thought. The foundation of individual freedom and all of modern civilization are Christian. Unfortunately, there is a strong component of socialism within some Christian interpretations. Some Christians think that Christ's teachings about loving our fellow man are not meant just for individuals to implement, but that the government should enforce the teaching. These people do not understand Christ's teachings or the deeper consequences of using the government to enforce them. This reinforces my point about education. I don't think I am knowledgeable enough about the church's history to know if splitting from the Catholic church is the cause of this. I do think as a practical point, implementing free market education will help with the ignorance that causes some good people to side with the socialists. In a free market system, there will be many more church based schools. I sent my daughter to a Jesuit high school. It was the best decision I ever made. She received a very broad and thoughtful education that was even superior to some of the work she is doing at her college now. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14732346068307639516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776872662073607566.post-38562054459784408572015-08-09T23:16:01.681+10:002015-08-09T23:16:01.681+10:00A coherent moral response and civilisation-buildin...A coherent moral response and civilisation-building -protecting movement cannot stand with such a splintered church.

What lies behind the socialist's system? What happened with the origins of the USA? The first socialist systems seeds were sown in Pennsylvania. The God-fearing 'nature' of the American people is fine but flawed. It is peripheral, started by 'Puritans' who were dissatisfied with the distance that the 'Anglicans had put between their new man-made creed, so moved even further away from the One True Church that they tried to persecute to oblivion in Britain. The seeds are blooming.

Once one's lively-hood comes from the enslavement of another person, any additional depravity comes oh so easy, when the alternative is starvation (figurative). Focusing on anything moral will inevitably lead back to (expose) the primary depravity of enslavement. I hate complaints without solutions. As a practical matter, in the U.S. we need to rest control of our education system from the enslavers - the government controlled teacher's unions and implement a free market education system for our children. Eventually, truth and understanding will reach the voting masses and socialism within democracies can be defeated.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14732346068307639516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776872662073607566.post-4255917553232219192015-08-09T22:41:58.435+10:002015-08-09T22:41:58.435+10:00May I quote your "morality vs aesthetics conf...May I quote your "morality vs aesthetics confusion" comment elsewhere?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776872662073607566.post-41011023240639991612015-08-09T21:58:16.949+10:002015-08-09T21:58:16.949+10:00Oh so right you are too.

For example, I have read and seen almost nothing at all in the print and TV media in Oz about the PP debacle. Occasional mentions of ISIS on TV are slotted in between anti-Israel critiques by obscure academic yobbos and ducks being shepherded across LA freeways. We are a deliberately ignorant nation amid information largesse.Amfortashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07474382097575605017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776872662073607566.post-49778350499280261992015-08-09T21:49:20.212+10:002015-08-09T21:49:20.212+10:00These moral matters are simply not entertaining en...These moral matters are simply not entertaining enough. When trying to read a serious news report, our eye is constantly drawn to a side-bar titillating us with stories of Kim's new hair colour, Kate's latest instagram, or the Princess's new clothes. Yet, look on social media and our peers complain that our feeds are becoming 'too political'.

We say morality, they only hear "aesthetics" as they don't believe morality exists. So it's not a matter of right or wrong, it's just what's pleasing to talk about. It sounds pleasing to criticise certain people, while it's not to criticise others.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
