I think it goes a bit further, That even if you are sorry you did wrong and sorry that the world is big ball of human suffering your sorrow alone will not save you - it will "bring death". The message seems to be that you should push back against evil in yourself and the world - that the passive acceptance of evil will kill you. History proves this to be true in the real world. That fact gives 2 Corinthians 7-10 some extra credibility for Christian believers.

 

Yes, going along to get along is the aspect of human nature that leads to mass annihilation.

"Isolation and impotence, that is the fundamental inability to act at all,
have always been characteristic of tyrannies. Political contacts between men
are severed in tyrannical government and the human capacities for action
and power are frustrated. But not all contacts between men are broken and
not all human capacities destroyed. The whole sphere of private life with
the capacities for experience, fabrication and thought are left intact. We
know that the iron band of total terror leaves no space for such private
life and that the self-coercion of totalitarian logic destroys man's capacity
for experience and thought just as certainly as his capacity for action."
THE ORIGINS OF TOTALITARIANISM, By Hannah Arendt, Meridian Books, Cleveland, New York, 1958.

So how much does this Pop Stand { Political Forums } bill yer Mom
for you to be here.As opposed to There.

 

Caught me a dandy cold from all those germy rugrats I was exposed to at the ranch. Havent had a cold in years... forgot how miserable they are. Finally feeling a little better. Hot toddy might help.

 

Kids are agents of the devil.

 

Crank the heat up, drink some straight whiskey, and force down some chicken and texas pete hot sauce.

You're welcome

 

Yes, you are right about it being a different age back then. My brother was expelled from a Catholic school for speaking out.

And you are also right not to feel bad about any of it.

It does raise an interesting question though. If the public schools were failing in your area today would you send your child to a Catholic school or would you go with an alternative like homeschooling?

 

Then there is a more interesting question. If a frog had wings, would it hit its ass when it hops. Try not to dwell on it to long tho.

 

Alright people of the Strange Brews.....there is only one very very important question. Okay, two very very important questions.


1. Where them Girls at?



2. And which one was suppose to make a da coffee?

 

I don't know if my experience is representative, or not.

I went to Catholic school for first and second grade. After the great family upheaval, we couldn't afford it anymore. I was bored to death in public school third grade because I had already learned all that stuff in second grade Catholic school.

 

Yeah my Mom tried public school then Catholic School. Got kicked out in 3rd Grade. But I did get passed from 2nd to 3rd. I remember I took a bow.

I was honest with them too.

I told them there wasn't going to be any smacking me with any ruler nor anything else. For some odd reason they didn't listen. Moms had to take off work and pick me up from the Priest in the Church.

Then the next week....it was off to Military School and living on their campus.

 

Knowing something is wrong, repenting and changing your ways is Godly and worldly is knowing it is a sin but accepting it for what it is.

 

Hot toddies will always make you feel better or at least make you not care..
