This thread is called 'Liberal rumours' . . . . it is not your personal pulpit. I made my point on the top of "liberal rumours" and somebody challenged or commented on it and I responded with what you call my personal pulpit. The fact is liberal government policies are often immoral and fall into the spiritual realm, that is, they require a response from the Bible. Lots of people on here reject that because they are secular humanists. I am not willing to go along with the works of the Devil and that is why I resist with God's infallible word, the Bible. Like it lump it. You are free to ignore it. Edited December 24, 2022 by blackbird Quote

I see everyone else including yourself uses it for their personal pulpit. Of course what you say is not preaching but is a superior authorized opinion, but mine is not? Most every thread you're involved in eventually turns to your preaching. It gets tiring. Please stop. 1 Quote

Please stop. You have every right to say that, but I disagree entirely. You have as much right to preach your philosophy or whatever on these threads, but you should respect my right to my view. This is not Communist China or Iran or do you agree with freedom of speech? Freedom of speech includes freedom of religious beliefs and the Bible. We are not a Communist country. Quote

The question isn't about respecting your religious views, it's about your compulsion to insert your religious views into virtually every thread you're involved in. Your religious views have nothing to do with the subject of this thread which is 'Liberal rumours'. There is a forum available on this site that specifically deals with religion.

Perhaps you could make use of it. No, I disagree. Biblical beliefs have everything to do with much of politics and what political parties are doing. I explained that before. I don't think I will opt to be relegated to the back room but will comment on topics from my perspective even if that includes the Bible. Many liberals policies are contrary to the Bible and must be exposed as such. Quote

How many Canadians are there? 1 : 38 million. Does it matter if a portion of that 38 million don't care their interest was violated? I don't think so. I challenged to to defend your statement "I just think on those occasions when someone entrusted with looking after the public's interest does put their own first the trust they violate is amplified by the fact it's violating millions upon millions of people all at once " So, please, provide evidence to your statement/accusation.

I am not liberal or conservative or NDP, I am apolitical so I really do not care who you accuse but, prove your allegations. I am meeting your challenge - one step at a time. You're still stuck on the first step, presumably. What is it about 1 : 38 million you don't get exactly? It's 1 leader/party/government whatever vs 38 million. Subtract the partisans if you must but it still several millions of people. If you deceive me it's no big deal, deceiving millions amplifies that to a bigger deal. Do you really insist on pretending you can't get that? Quote A government without public oversight is like a nuclear plant without lead shielding.

If I don't "get it" then you must be a poor communicator. No games. Just asking for you to prove your statement and all you do is sidestep. "someone entrusted with looking after the public's interest does put their own first" Who are you talking about and what interests are they putting first?? "trust they violate is amplified" Trust in what? What trust is violated?? Answer the questions. Prove it. You making vague statement, vague claims, unproven, unsubstantiated accusations seem to be your forte lately. Back up yourself, you have credibility then but now, you are a blowhard.

Why not give me all of the money in your account and I will be slowly giving it back to you over the next 150 years?

But before I give you bread, I may take it all again from you this year and you will have to wait till next year and give you the same promise every year.

Just throwing accusations without evidence. It's called misinformation or disinformation or just plain BS. Still waiting for your proof. I'm accusing us, of allowing for the secrecy in our governance that prevents evidence from being obtained. Evidence of that is in our inability to validate the claims and counter-claims of the various players caught up in the SNC affair for example. The resulting divisiveness and further erosion of mistrust stemming from that affair does not serve anyone's interests, least of all the public's. The proof of the increased mistrust is in the Angus Reid poll I linked to previously and the consequence is evidenced in the AR poll indicating the erosion of faith in democracy. You seem to be arguing our interests are best served by maintaining the status quo as far as our systems of accountability go and cite the fear of paralysis and micro-management with no evidence of why or even what these mean.

The broken corrupt system is a consequence of the fallen human nature. The uneducated are just a corrupt, and have a fallen nature, just the same as everyone else. They are voting too and therefore are still accountable for the corrupt system. Without the knowledge from the Bible of good and evil, or right and wrong, society is bound to choose the wrong things.
