You are absolutely on the money Brett. There are people (and I am not going to say most because I dont know it to be fact) who find it easier to go with the flow and let others do their thinking for them. Their opinion, style of dress, etc. is whatever happens to be the current fad or latest topic on the T.V. Rather than research the matter and base a decision on what the facts show, they will hear a certain actor said this or a model said that and that is what they believe. It sways with the slightest breeze. I believe on another forum they called them "Sheeple".

Sadly, most Christians don't have the same passion (minus the violence) that most muslims do. An attitude of complete tolerance and apathy have led this country to where it is today. The time to fight for what we believe has long since past and now instead of fighting to maintain our rights and beliefs, we are fighting just to catch up and regain them. Christ was a man of peace and tolerance, as we should also be. But he also knew there was a time to fight for what is right and good and he commanded us to keep up the good fight, to be ever watchful for those who would seek to do us harm. The attacks of 9/11 seem to show we have dropped our guard and the fanatics are more than ready and willing to bring the violence to our shores. We need to be prepared.

A man with a passion and conviction will overcome a man with a preference every time. If we don't have one already, we need to get a passion and conviction for what we believe and it will have to be stronger than the passion of those who seek to overcome us (whether it be the Anti-Gunners or whomever).

Sorry for the Sermon. I'll get off of my soap box now.
