Whenever you speak about it. That was what you meant when you said liberals were 'forcing' McCarthyism, Jim Crow etc on you, right?Do you want to have an ideagasm?

RonD1120 62 #132 June 20, 2016 I see. Well you are probably going to have to learn to live with it. Unless of course you can change the rules for the SC. The difference at university based liberalism is that I had to memorize enough of the data to pass exams. Here you can simply not read my posts. And of course, if you do not reply to me I will not reply to you. That is kind of silly. We all need to vent.Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

And if a Hindi family moved in down the street I'm sure you'd invite them over for ice cream. That would depend on their motive for moving into this enclave. If they simply move up to live off of us because the city is experiencing SHTF that would not be good. If they moved into the area with something to offer and were willing to assimilate to our culture they would most likely be tolerated for a period of time until accepted. If they wanted to erect a temple to Siva it probably would not go well for them. All of this is conjecture because outsiders will quickly figure out that this area is Christian. Therefore they would look elsewhere. We are different. We are proud of our culture. We will defend our culture. We are happy to be left alone.

riggerrob 643 #137 June 20, 2016 Ron, We respect your truths and enjoy reading your truths because you force us to look at the world from a slightly different angle. You force us out of our own comfortable ruts. And if Ron's truths make me uncomfortable ..... good on him! .... because Ron forces me to discuss the scriptures with friends and unwrap and examine my embarrassing memes/stereotypes. One of the dangers of only listening to one side of an argument, is that one can get too comfortable in one's chosen rut. When I lived in Perris, California I was amazed at how shallow and short-ranged the news media had become. During my days off, I drove 90 minutes to visit a book store that carried: British, Canadian, French and German magazines that allowed me to expand my horizons beyond the LA basin. So it is not just hill-bullies living up some secluded valley how have a narrow view of the world. Kind of like some of my conservative friends say the the Church of Jesus Christ has great diaster preparedness plans but theology unsupported by archeological evidence. On a more personal note: if I may compare my life-style with Ron's. I sinned heavily (mostly with booze) between the ages of 20 and 40. Life got much easier after I quit drinking. The last 20 years of sobriety have been far more contented, healthy and productive. The brightest of us listen to a variety of sources (including Ron) then decide which theory to believe. I may not always enjoy Ron's conclusions, but I enjoy the debate. If Ron's truths force me to re-examine your life-style, then Ron is doing his job properly. Keep those opinions coming Ron.

I am truly humbled. Thank you for the validation. When I first started regularly posting here my goal was to encourage people to think. Back in the early '70s skydivers were seeking to understand the New Age concepts of spiritual life. I dedicated my life to the search and found Jesus Christ.

The only reason I would have to worry about urban survival is because people like you have done such a poor job understanding the world around you that when you die you'll have left it in a worse place than how you found it. Your lack of humanity and understanding of the natural world has left you actually praying to be raptured before you have to face the consequences of your actions.
