How Facebook might loose me friends
Today I had a friend post this comment as his status on facebook.
Hey Fundamentalist Conservative Idealogues, why all the crazy talk with no way to back it up? Obama’s the Anti-Christ? The Creation Museum? Intelligent Design? Gay people are going to destroy the moral fabric of this country? Are you SERIOUS? Wh…y don’t you just wait for the next comet to pass through the solar system and drink some cianide-laced punch? You’re now the occult.
Personally I have had a few too many stabs at my beliefs and faith on facebook this week, and have grown tired of it, so in response I had to use 4 comment boxes to reply to him, this is what I wrote what do you think about it?
If there were a dislike feature I would do that, since there is not I will answer for myself, and some of the other Christian fundamentalist conservatives who still believe in the constitution.
First Obama as the anti-Christ, well I do not agree with this. While fundamentally disagreeing with the man he has not yet done anything that would support this claim. I am against his widespread and excessive spending, just as I was against Bush’s overspending. As a country we are drowning in debt, and adding to it and selling our debt to the Chinese is not the way to fix that. Also Obama believes the constitution is “fundamentally flawed” his own words, and I cannot and do not agree with that. So Anti-Christ NO, someone I do not agree with YES.
I will lump the creation museum and intelligent design into one category. I think they are brilliant. I do not fully know where I stand on creationism v. young earth creationism, but I can say that I do believe in the Bible and in the creation of the earth and solar system as an act of God’s will. Watch “Expelled no intelligence allowed” some time, it is a brilliant film by Ben Stein that shows why there is little to no science to back up creationism or intelligent design, as soon as any scientist mentions it or suggests it as a possibility they are black balled, un published. The ironic thing is, as Ben Stein shows, the scientist who black ball and creation or ID scientist are completely open to the idea that Aliens could have had a hand in designing life on earth, but will not even consider the a higher power, such as the God of the Bible, could be involved. So a museum that looks at the history and artifacts that have been recovered and found through the ideology of Creationism is a huge advance and something I would love to see, and something I think everyone should have to look at to compare with the popular theory of evolution.
As for “Gay people are going to destroy the moral fabric of this country“, I understand where some people are coming from for this, but do not completely agree. As both of you know, I do not mind gay people, I have a few friends, and some relatives who are gay. I love and care for them the same as any friends or relatives I have. I follow the Biblical, and Christ demonstrated approach of loving the people regardless of sin. Much as I love my friends who drink in excess, swear, blaspheme, and have sex outside of marriage. I am a sinner myself and have no place judging anyone for their sin, I do not always agree with their actions but I love them regardless. I do not feel gay people threaten our moral fabric any more than the sexual revolution that encourages sex before marriage, television, the internet, strip clubs and the objectification of women and men, and a number of other items in our day and age. What truly threatens our moral fabric is the denial of God, and His absolute Truths (notice the capital T). There are things that are good and evil, right and wrong, and our disregard and chipping away at these Truths are what has and continues to chip away at the moral fabric of this country, nothing else.
