No one has said they don't want my blessings, there is just a misunderstanding over the sub-dialect (the Christian language) I am using to express my prayers and good-will. I think most people are beginning to understand the way I communicate. Faith Guardian seems to understand where I'm coming from.
Yes, I think I do. But I don't condone your use of that way of expression here.
Also, I wouldn't call it 'the christian language' as no such thing exists. It's merely a subcultural form of expression, no different from what you might find in any closed group of people. I think it is an unfortunate thing, as Christians are supposed to be all inclusive IMHO.
I am a conduit to the Lord. I know this. I have proof. Many members of my church can confirm this. Not saying that I can lead everyone to the Lord, or help every wayward individual that crosses my path, but I have helped many.
Okay. Given your earlier comment on 'liberal wastrels' I wonder - what do you consider 'wayward'?
If you take a look at where I stand politically (image below) you'll find that I'm rather far left. But I won't say that right wingers are 'wayward'. I think they are mistaken, that their policies run contrary to Christ's teachings most of the time and that this political approach is harmful and unhealthy. But they are people, and as such have an intrinsic value which is infinitely high.
Am I wayward, Zongerfield?
I want society's money to help the sick and the poor, not to buy more guns and bombs for the military. I want us to get together and help those in need. I want us to stop the war-mongery and work for cooperation fellowship and peace. Am I wayward? I want to let everyone have a good life, where their needs are met. Where they can get an education and meet their potential, regardless of their family's wealth. I want a society where we due to a mutual trust and cooperation can stop worrying about being shut out or ignored, even if you are homosexual, have had sex outside of marriage or lets take it to one extreme and say even if you're a homeless alcoholic who has killed a fellow human being. I still think all the aforementioned have an intrinsic value and needs to be seen as a fellow human being, loved and where the need is present, helped. I want everyone to be a part of a whole where no-one is left out in the cold and ignored. Am I wayward? I want our non-renewable resources to benefit our children, grandchildren and multiple generations past that. Am I wayward? I want the people who work in a given place to have a say, and a sense of belonging, of fellowship in their workplace. I do not want employees or indeed people of any sort to be traded or treated like cattle or robots performing a given mindless task. I want them to have a say. In other words: I want an expansion of democracy.
So... Looking at me, you see a far left liberal christian. I just outlined my political position above. Tell me, what about this is 'wasteful' or 'wrong'? Or did I somehow misunderstand you Z? I may have. It certainly happens
We're still getting to know each other. In due time they will respect and embrace my uniqueness, I hope.
If your lot falls in with Clirus you will have no respect nor embrace from me. I'm not fond of that level of what I can only consider direct blasphemy, and I'm not about to say otherwise. A Christian who supports genocide is not someone who knows Christ in my book. And no, I don't think this is about 'misunderstanding poor Clirus' on my part. I think I understand her quite well. We've had our share of nutjobs in Europe through the centuries, and Clirus reminds me of some of the worst ones. Topping quite a number of them, too.
We have mass graves even here (empty now, the victims are buried in cemetaries) after the last such nutjob (Hitler, and his local puppet: Quisling), and I don't want more of those. Neither the graves nor the nutcases.
I won't say what I want to say out of respect, but know that I am doing it anyhow.
Yeeaaahh.... That's pretty much the same as saying it, Z. Just let it be. Leave it, don't touch it.
