    There is pretty much one issue I call Dems on who claim to be Christian - it involves murder. I'm even open to abolishing the death penalty. I would keep laws against vigilante justice on place, while fully condoning it where it occurs.

    In other words, one of us will be calling the other out far more often. You may forget that Christian morality is primarily concerned with individual daily behavior while you are out trying to use the government to do your charitable work and social justice for you.
    Legal porn, I am pretty sure that is supported by your faith, lol

    The churches need to spend less on buildings and more on social justice and charity. I always hear the private sector will step up and fill in, but after working many years in a food pantry, I have yet to see it.

    Since we do spend money on buildings, I at least wish we'd go back to the majestic architecture of the past. Modern structures have gotten so ugly and uninspiring.

    Sorry Damocles....I misread your post...I read it as..."how do you find(as in like) our pleasant little slice of the interwebs?"

    I found it browsing through the tapatalk forum list.

    Talk to the people who have had their homes invaded. It is not just the material posessions that were taken. It is the feeling of safety and the sanctity of their home that was taken.

    If you don't feel safe in your own home, where do you feel safe? Those who would break into someone's home and steal their things and their feeling of safety have thrown away their rights.

    And here I thought Grind was being a selfish prick with his claim that guns are more important than the lives of our children.

    Asshole delinquents who would break into your house and steal things deserve nothing short of a bullet. Your property is a natural right - a key element in the development of liberty and progress throughout the Western world.

    That's it...make some excuses...dig that hole even deeper!

    If it's not worth defending, it's not worth having at all.

    And that's not even getting into some of the middle men....like depression from the poverty/desperation cycle and the self medicating that leads to chemical dependence....which also = crime.

    Not to mention the temptation for a way out of that cycle. When you have nothing and the legitimate options are so limited, and you see some of the people you grew up with driving nice cars and having money in their wallets.... the gangster lifestyle looks like a valid option.

    There's much more to it than simple indecency.

    In short, I am exactly the kind of man the liberals hate. I rather take pride in that....any true patriot does.
    Welcome. Need more like you.
