They are but one step away from active participation in evil. <br /><br />In non-emergency situations, it is reasonable to judge people on how they choose strategically to deploy their kindness.

I regret to say that I can't remember what the specific topic was, but I do know that I said to her, "Isn't it amazing how easy it is to hold to this [traditional view X] once you stop consuming the mainstream culture?"Samson J.http://samsonsjawbone.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683970826895755480.post-47866017940613852862013-01-16T19:47:36.948+00:002013-01-16T19:47:36.948+00:00It's important, however, to distinguish betwee...It's important, however, to distinguish between knowing that our opponents are demons and demonizing the human beings in the enemy ranks.<br /><br />It's entirely possible that many of those human footsoldiers (and even some of the captains) are unwitting dupes -- that they are indeed "well-meaning but misguided".<br /><br />Just as it's possible that some of them have knowingly taken the side of the demons and/or are demon-possessed.<br /><br />Pray for the former, lament the latter, and never forget that "our wrestling is not against flesh and blood; but against principalities and power, against the rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places."<br />CorkyAgainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16118775131210676777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683970826895755480.post-81405780590268387132013-01-16T15:23:52.503+00:002013-01-16T15:23:52.503+00:00"I honestly don't get why otherwise earne..."I honestly don't get why otherwise earnest right-leaning people haven't disconnected from the leftist television/film/news hydra."<br /><br />I can't believe how different the world is after unplugging. I haven't had a television for a long time, but I still read (past tense) a lot of news (via the internet). After unplugging from that recently, my days have changed significantly. <br /><br />Instead of reading news I tend to focus, in terms of reading, on the immediate, the useful, the in-depth, and so on. <br /><br />It feels like I have woken from an unpleasant dream.ajbhttp://anthonyburgoyne.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683970826895755480.post-51682168918737799222013-01-16T06:33:45.133+00:002013-01-16T06:33:45.133+00:00One way to recall the dark situation we are in:
