Is the Christian Right Becoming Politically Correct?

[Theophylact]

An interesting post at The Right Christians. And see also the next one, "Obscure Bible Passage of the Day: Romans 11:25-32".

I've got a problem with proselytizing people who already have a faith. Proselytization is based on some people's belief that their beliefs are superior to other's.

So you believe proselytizing is wrong and you're trying to convince others that your belief that proselytizing is wrong is superior to their believe that it is right.

You're a hypocrite.

Posting an item of interest can hardly be considered proselytizing.

You're a name caller =Ž

To be fair, Gomer, I think osprey4 was responding to MTAtech, not the original post...

[Gomer]

Doh... agreed, Theo.

In that instance I don't think MTAtech's statement can be considered proselytizing either!

Thanks for the heads up!

[osprey4]

It's the principle. Call it proselytizing (which automatically carries negative connotations) or simply trying to convince others of your personal beliefs, it's something everyone does.

Unless they don't believe anything or are unwilling to stand up for anything, in which case they run for president.

Well actually you know I am not exactly a bible thumper.

buttttttt,,,,,,,,,,,,, Proselytizing is not exactly based upon the belief in superiority of ones own religion. It is the belief in the fact of their religion. converting people is saving them to the proselytizer. To not convert a hethan is akin to a horrible sin AFAIAC. To fail to save someone (convert them to the right belief) is akin to not grabbing a kid before they are hit by a car. Or a medical tech not rendering assistance to a person that they could reasonably help.

To fail to convert someone would dam a person to hell for eternity. that is a horrible thing to let someone suffer if it were true.

When someone tries to convert you it is not because of some moral superiority. it is a gift from them to you. The gift of heaven. and the salvation from a fate worse than death.

If heaven and hell are true then letting a hundred kids get squished is far less a crime than not trying to convert one soul.

the kid suffers but 80 or 90 years of lossed dreams. The dammed suffer infinitely more.

Democrats, for whom diversity is a fundamental value....etc

You've got to be kidding...right?

In an age where cultural sensitivities, even tension, is so high, it is easy to offend unintentionally by a careless word or phrase

A creation of the PC left who uses innuendo, race baiting and other BS tactics to polarize and manipulate special interest groups into voting for them. They are responsible for the ‘sensitivity’, which is actually intolerance. In the name of so called 'tolerance' of others they have created a minority class of special interests (gays, racial minorities, ACLU, NOW, etc.) who display a virulent intolerance for others than themselves

wao...this is wierd, i'm somewhat agree with you wallie.

They are responsible for the ‘sensitivity’, which is actually intolerance. In the name of so called 'tolerance' of others they have created a minority class of special interests (gays, racial minorities, ACLU, NOW, etc.) who display a virulent intolerance for others than themselves

I don't think it's so much that the special interest groups have become so intolerant of others explicitly(although they have), but more importantly they have become intolerant of intolerance, and anyone who is intolerant according to their beliefs are "intolerant" and wrong (seems kind of intolerant ). they don't allow people to have their own beliefs on the subject (if someone doesn't like gay people then that is their right, whether or not i agree with it).

Personally i think people are way to sensitive too. people just need to learn to "buck it up." everyone meets people that don't like them, it's part of life unfortunately.
