"All we're doing is accentuating that we have no faith - only fear. We continue to put people down and insult people --- out of fear ourselves, we want to instill fear in others. Whenever this cycle can end, we will get somewhere. It's doubtful it can ever come to fruition --- but maybe we can individually have faith in one another. We can listen to the other side and be slow to be defensive - and try to form a place of trust - and embrace compromise not as weakness -- but a way of benefitting the most people with the best of each set of conflicting ideas."
I like this.
But then .. "Evangelical Zealots will always be hypocrites .." I don't see modern Evangelicals as being that zealous or uncompromising, sure there are a few isolated incidents that liberal media lavish on .. but, if you remember historically, the original Zealots was a Jewish radical group trying to overthrow the yokes of Roman rule in Judea. Now, in this day, there is an Islamic Movement that presents themselves as zealots: warlike, uncompromising, fanatical .. ISIS.
