Also I think those who...abmo I think you are right. Also I think those who say, "I've never doubted God for a second. He said it, I believe it and that settles it." are some of the most insecure. It is like the person scared of the wolf . . . they won't even enter the forest because they are so afraid. Those who are really secure will sit for hours listening to great lectures that totally contradict Christian ideals . . . and actually give them serious though . . . because they are secure.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13436938452955368669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-878914472051909043.post-88418973579897917582014-11-25T06:21:33.365-08:002014-11-25T06:21:33.365-08:00"So in search of a true epistemology, we need..."So in search of a true epistemology, we need to be humble, call the branding of truth for what it is, and understand the weakness of our own psychological self, without projecting that as a weakness of God or the Christian essentials" Thanks and Yes, we have to be humble at all times :-) <br /><br />I sometimes wonder if the person who shouts the loudest is not the most insecure about their faith?<br /><br />abmohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11141350313470470681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-878914472051909043.post-90847123480332838212014-11-21T15:13:22.134-08:002014-11-21T15:13:22.134-08:00Personally I'm grateful we have a parliamentar...Personally I'm grateful we have a parliamentary system. They tend to lead to a broader array of political voices - we currently have 6 parties represented in the house of commons; and probably a lot less gridlock as well. If the government doesn't get a majority vote on key issues such as the budget, it falls and we have another election, simple as that.<br /><br />It's not perfect, and there are improvements that could be made to it, but I certainly wouldn't trade it for a presidential system.Trevor Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02583257795864285412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-878914472051909043.post-6027435226557510592014-11-20T13:44:09.322-08:002014-11-20T13:44:09.322-08:00Trevor, I really don't have a clue. I think it...Trevor, I really don't have a clue. I think it is why voter turn out is so low and why the 20 something generation is like the John Mayer song "Watin for the World to Change" fits in. The process is a mess that only the "chosen" get to run and the "chosen" are chosen BECAUSE they are robots. I heard a comparison between elections in the US and the same type of (party selected candidate) elections in Hong Kong, the one which has caused all the uproar. I honestly think a good independent candidate, a rational person with a good agenda for the country, would win. But getting to run is very difficult. So the same ole android voters keep voting for the same ole android candidates . . . yet always hoping it will turn out different this time. I think Einstein made a comment about that behavior.

My understanding is that your re-election rate for congress in the US is 90%. <br /><br />So apparently the vast majority of voters actually <i>want</i> leaders who talked like mindless sales-droids. But I can't figure out why. I make a habit of reaching out to candidates via email, twitter, or in person in the run up to elections, and I'm much more likely to vote for the one who responds like a real human being.Trevor Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02583257795864285412noreply@blogger.com
