I’m in fixed prosthodontics right now……..boring the crap out of me…..so here we go.
The thing that Josh is the most riled up about is the good vs. evil thing. He has stated that “once you pin evil on a political party, you end progress. There is simply no way to negotiate with a person who thinks you are literally doing the work of the devil.”
I would like to start out by saying that is completely and utterly false……maybe it’s true regarding the weak-minded……not for me. Let me share a story with you. I think it’s safe to say that devil-worshipping is literally doing the work of the devil…..right? I happened to baptize a Satanist…….how did it happen? I saw the good in the individual and then became his friend regardless of his belief…..how was I able to “negotiate”………I don’t know, but he’s now a member.
Some would have me see the world with rose-colored glasses. There’s good and bad to having pornography, strip clubs, abortions, drugs, homosexual marriage, and removing God from everything--------MAKE A STAND PEOPLE! Stop being so understanding of evil and fight it.
That doesn’t mean you have to stop loving people.
Now, am I blind to seeing the good, no matter what the source?--NO! Do I agree with Kerry fighting for veteran benefits?—yes. Do I like Gore’s stance on global warming (despite his own motives)—yes. How about Rev Jackson’s stance on removing the “n” word from our vocabulary?—of course.
Good comes from ALL sources, but I refuse to be so politically correct as to deny what liberals are fighting for.
Can you still talk politics with me……..am I non-negotiable? So far, I’ve really enjoyed hearing from you two……and I hope I don’t sound like someone who is shut off.
I hope future political chats will be regarding the issues. I feel like we have to agree to disagree about the good vs. evil thing.
J.M.
