    I am not suggesting that is all on the left either. Trump largely began the extreme hyperbolic responses, and the left didn't have the discipline to not do the same thing. Now everyone is doing it, and the hyperbole is now normal. We have to start speaking in actual terms again, though I don't...

    Overused the word authoritarian (Nazi as well), so that when one genuinely comes along, we won't recognize it.

    Charlie was firmly on the right, but it would be completely in appropriate to define him as the so often used term "far right". That label would be appropriate for Elijah Schafer and the like. We have to stop overusing hyperbolic language, it is one of the things that has placed us here.

    Can you find when he said these things? Can you get me some sources for these claims?

    I can only speak for myself. Being a jerk never helps someone come to Christ. I was agnostic for many years and one of the things that really put me off of Christianity, is I was standing in line at Home Depot and a gentleman came up behind me and asked if I believed in Christ, and I said no. He...

    They don't have to. I am not forcing anything on anyone. Christ tells us if we are not welcomed to keep on walking. And, it is ok if they don't choose to believe. I will treat them no differently and with the greatest respect I can muster. My job here is not to judge, because that is a job only...

    You work with non-Christians by presenting the words of Jesus Christ in the most respectful way you can. If they are not open to hearing them, move on, as it is stated by Christ. You can't make someone accept them, they have to chose. Which is the entire point. You have to chose, and through...

    All the ones you mentioned first would not be applying the gospels. What I mean is people need to come to Jesus Christ, including all you first listed. If you are the previous things, you have yet to do that, and would not be applying the gospels. Protestants, Catholics, and Orthodox, while...

    There are plenty of them. However, you didn't engage in the argument. You can't define good and bad. You have nothing to tether yourself to so that you can achieve a relative definition. Subjectivity is fluid and forever changing. You can't define anything when you prioritize subjectivity over...

    No. I can't require it. Everyone has a choice, and that is fundamental. You choose, and you are accountable. I am not requiring anything. If many preach it, it will have a positive influence, and events like this will become lesser because many people will be declaring that human lives have...

    Read the gospels. That is good culture. Nothing nebulous about it. Abide by the commandments. Listen to the words of Christ. Whether you want to be religious or not, I hope we can all agree that should you follow Christ's message, we would all be better (not perfect). Read the book. Nothing...

    Well, I prefer to be practical and the fact of the matter is, even if you wanted less guns, you aren't going to get it. If people want a gun, they will get a gun, whether it is legal or not. If they want to hurt someone, they will, whether it is legal or not. The only prescription is a better...

    You can't stop people from hurting one another if they want to. They will find a way. How do we make them see each other as human and not dire enemies? We must speak constantly the values of the Lord, that all men are created in his image and are valuable and purposeful. There are too many...

    The answer to the problem is a culture that is nurturing yet organized and stern. The answer to the problem is we need to identify and actually treat the mentally ill. We must create a culture. I do not understand holding inanimate objects accountable for someone's choice to take it and harm...
