To clarify, I'm not arguing for any view as I lean one way, but would never state it so for fear of being labeled. I was thinking of the present controversy of hate going on. The clash of those labeled white supremist. You have to be careful these days about voicing your views. Recently the battle of the rebel flag coming down in SC. If it is a symbol of hate then by all means, take it down. But if you don't believe it is and think it should be left up as history, then be careful because you could quickly be labeled a white supremist. I don't think the intentions are hate motivated in wanting to resist the movement to remove history that involved something considered bad. But I don't have all the info so I base my views from what I see on the news..... and we know they seek to stir drama rather than diffuse it. Back to my thought..... The bible has many racist things in it about slavery, oppression against groups, gays, etc. If your going to go after these so called displays of hate like the rebel flag, then why are they excluding the bible? Someone, mercy, not me, who ain't afraid of confrontation, should bring this up on a national platform. Imagine the controversy of it. How would they then play their usual card of crying hate???? Bible totters, how would you feel about them calling you haters because you seek to defend your right to keep your bible? How would you diffuse that situation? I think it would be beneficial to go this far in it becoming a national topic because I think those wanting to remove these so called hate items would have a crisis like a dog having caught his tail after chasing his own tail. I completely acknowledge that these controversies are not without hate because the true haters usually gather for issues like this. I personally don't care if these things are removed, I only mention it because a recent thread here caused it to come to mind.
