Welcome to Gaia! ::

Well, as a Christian you really need to think WWJD (What would Jesus do?). But at the same time we are human and we do need to protect ourselves and out civil rights.

I don't believe in abortion, but I can't tell anyone it's not ok, because I don't see Jesus putting up signs or getting all political. He didn't have that agenda. His agenda was to turn people's hearts. And that's what we're to do. What if we give people this freedom. They don't know any better. Many have good arguments for it, but I'm still against it in a personal sense.

I see a lot of "Christians" violently (verbal or physical) protesting things arguing that people are going to hell if they do this and that and telling everyone how wrong something is. Jesus never really did that. If he did, he'd have very few followers. His idea was to attract the hearts of millions. And yet even when we are verbally abused, we must turn the other cheek. Many churches make movements against things political where they might as well just let people have that freedom. They have to say what they have to say as long as it's nothing more than that's what believe, but allow it as long as it doesn't serve to hurt society a certain way. It's hard for most of us, I know this. But our presentation is very important in society. People turn away from Christianity, because people can't agree to disagree.

However if we are violently attacked as a country or an individual, we can act to defend ourselves in a violent manner if that so happens to be what it takes then so be it. Think where this world would be if we took physical abuse and murder.
