Well, several days since an actual post. That was certainly interesting.
And now for a lesson in “beliefs vs. opinion vs. reality”.
It is true. Beliefs do not determine reality. Actually, that is one of my favorite quotes. Nor do opinions determine reality. Just because you believe something that doesn’t mean that it is true. You can believe it as hard as you want for as long as you want, but regardless, it will not be true, unless it was already true to begin with.
However, you also have to remember that truth exists. SOMETHING is true. Either God exists or God does not exist. One of those 2 statements is true, and it cannot go both ways. Therefore, if I believe that God exists, and you do not believe that God exists, one of us is right, and the other one is wrong. One of the 2 options is reality.
Now, if God exists, and I know that He exists, I should think that I should try and tell other people that He exists. I should think that other people would want to know that He exists.
In the same way, this works with lots of things. Abortion. Either it is murder, or it is not murder. It can’t be both, and it is not a matter of opinion, it is a matter of belief. There is a difference. Opinions are beliefs that are not built on facts, whereas beliefs can very often be built on facts. One of the beliefs is right. Either I’m right and you’re wrong, or you’re right, and I’m wrong.
And of course, the same goes for the pornography issue.
Do not tell me not to impose my beliefs on you, because I could very well be right. At somepoint, someone “believed” genocide to be wrong. By your logic of not imposing beliefs on others, who are you to say that genocide is, in fact, wrong? Hitler certainly had no problem whatsoever with genocide. Who are we to judge and condemn, and impose OUR BELIEFS on him, right? And don’t say it’s not the same thing, because it is. They are both beliefs as to whether something is right or wrong.
Hmmm… something to think about.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
