I guess I should clarify something about myself and the way I conduct myself on here. I do not hate you in anyway. I don't feel any malevolence that you feel and think the way that you do. I hate the consequences though, of people who think in a way that I think is ultimately destructive to what I envision as a free and just society.
Take for example, Frags. Nice guy. Very good taste in movies. When he talks about global warming, I want to punch a wall because I envision people like him making decisions in positions of power. But you know, he thinks the way he thinks based on some principles about government and how it operates or has operated in the past, so I don't blame him for thinking the way he does and I don't hate him for thinking in such a way. I just would have him stick to telling me what movies are good or not. And who knows? Maybe he is right after all.
I like everyone here. Except for a few people, who I pity.
I think young people are just angry in general. In times good and bad, youth always seem to have an underlying current of angst or anger. I think people try to place specific reasons on why they feel everything they do, when really humans just feel for the sake of feeling....I feel.You're wrong, as it happens. I was an angry man in 2005 because I didn't want to believe in God. She was the first normal non-creepy Christian with a genuine relationship with God I had met. She was also an important emotional crutch to me when my relationship with my family broke down after they found out I was a Christian.
The other important person was a second year theology student who introduced me to intellectual Christianity over the Officer Training Corps selection weekend (we both failed) and who I never saw again.
