PBS Frontline: "The Choice 2016"

>That's my final post on this subject.

Well, I guess that makes your position clear - you follow that gospel only in very specific situations, when you are safe.

I'll leave you with this:

================
What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.”

Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds. You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.

You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless? Was not our father Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did. And the scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness," and he was called God’s friend. You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone.

***>Kudos on the deliberate misunderstanding.

What am I misunderstanding? You said that in concept you support the teachings of Christ, but not in the real world of national security and real risk. I'll repost your own words:

Quote

Your original list posted conceptual topics. In concept I support them. Your latter examples are specific at the cost of national security and the good of the people in this country.

I do not support stupid benevolence.



So you do not support turning the other cheek in the real world, only "in concept?"



From above:

>Oh, turning the other cheek only applies to attacks when presenting the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Outside of that I can neutralize with prejudice.<

That's my final post on this subject.

So that's a gun in one hand and a white flag in the other?

Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up.

And we know how right she is on everything. She was dead wrong on this one too: http://www.thewrap.com/fox-news-jeanine-pirro-rips-gretchen-carlsons-absurd-lawsuit/

Again, it isn't about the locker room talk. It is about the actions.
