The jellied masses of the left should be grateful to Donald Trump. He has given people of principle on the right a hope that we can move forward without violence. We are more than reluctant to resort to extreme measures for a number of reasons.
We know enough about history to know that the kind of destruction and death caused by civil war and wide scale insurrection is far worse than we can imagine. Once the restraints are broken atrocities and mayhem multiply. When a neighbor you have known for years turns on you it becomes dangerous to be alive. The ones who suffer the most are the innocent.
We know enough about our emotional and mental health to know that killing has a price even for the survivors. Talk to someone who has been in combat. It isn’t like the movies where you shrug you shoulders and move on. It destroys something in you.
We have a spiritual commitment that holds us back. This is probably the strongest of all but don’t assume that it does not have a limit.
So be glad that we have more hope than we did a year ago.
Keep your doors locked, you eyes open and your prayer life on high.

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.
Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.
