Increasingly there is no actual Christian critique of anything, because Christians are so busy making sure they don't agree with the anti-Christians about anything. The Left in America has become more aggressively and flagrantly anti-Christian, even within the last year, but one of the unfortunate results is that most Christians will then take the opposing position, whatever that is. Everything is divided up into Republican Thought and Democrat Thought. It's like the Chinese story about the two shepherds who lost their sheep: one lost his flock because he was drunk and asleep, and the other lost his flocki because he was reading poetry, but they both lost their sheep.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11110174.post-25797869528563913542014-04-03T10:41:32.322+13:002014-04-03T10:41:32.322+13:00August, I do not get to see American media.

We aren't obsessed with guns, but there are people who are obsessed with taking them away. Some people have various hobbies and there are folks who buy one mainly for self-defense, but inevitably the media will either show some crack-pot or make one up. <br />This happens with other stuff too, like diet, where someone I know is good gets on a show, but they don't get to put forth any real information.<br />Augusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08758314961163692341noreply@blogger.com
