My personal thoughts on this whole matter?

Say to them, 'As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live. -Ezekiel 33:11

Some background info: I'm a Caucasian male, 22 years old, Christian, living in South Carolina, and I'm a Progressive.

i do agree with you, about the Bible verse, but i cant help my self. but im more happy in the justice part, and not the death part.

but as for the bolded. i bufudles me, it doesnt seem like those three things add up. it does not compute. lol

Well think about. Jesus Christ was the biggest social advocate of any person I've ever heard of. As a Progressive I feel such compassion towards mankind. Black, White, Asian, Christian, Buddhist, Muslim, Jewish, Man, Women, Transgender, I don't care. I believe that everyone deserves a chance at having a fulfilling life and who am I to stop them?

Jesus didn't walk this Earth saying "Love one another, except those gay people, oh and minorities, oh and of course not Muslims or liberals. Gun rights save lives and anti-everything laws will help protect your children from the scary change of the future." Now I'm just being a little silly in that last sentence, but I hope you can see where I'm going with this. Jesus taught to love one another, unconditionally. My political views are completely based on how Jesus Christ lived his life, and that is why I consider myself a Progressive. Bias, intolerance, hatred, disgust, etc were hard things to overcome personally at certain points in my life, but I feel free now. I feel happy, and I only want to help people.

It's fun being an idealist, but you need to also know when to live in reality. I wish the world was as perfect as you hope it were, but the truth is it's not. There is nothing you could do to "save" him from his ways.
