Which is an argument for the smallest government possible and an extreme level of conscientious objection, meaning "don't make me pay taxes for something you don't believe in o believe is abhorrent to your god, like a particular war, a given charity or the infrastructure to support same, like abortion or socialized health care leading to death panels, the this second letter is the most libertarian passage in the bible, no evangelical will disagree save when the left has abused their power for generations, it's no surprise they want to get even.

When I was visiting Munich some years ago, our tour guide, a lovely Bavarian Catholic woman, noted a very 1970s postmodernist church near the cathedral, and jokingly told us it was referred to as "Luther's bathtub" or "Luther's rollercoaster." I got a chuckle out of it—then offered up a silent prayer of thanksgiving that, some 500 years after the 30 Years War, the conflict between Bavarian Catholics and Bavarian Lutherans comes down to a bit of good-natured ribbing.Paul Snivelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08176093036690144698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-15345031112099742092016-07-05T12:49:48.659-05:002016-07-05T12:49:48.659-05:00Also, Trump went to an all-boys school, just like ...Also, Trump went to an all-boys school, just like Nietzsche!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-48585174432700519162016-07-05T11:00:05.434-05:002016-07-05T11:00:05.434-05:00Good thing the writer can assume his audience hasn...Good thing the writer can assume his audience hasn't actually <i>read</i> any Nietzsche, but knows for sure Nietzsche/Nazi/Wagner/Hitler BAD because History.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09055468613470143350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-461553889856579462016-07-05T10:58:11.646-05:002016-07-05T10:58:11.646-05:00Paul Snively said...

My parish church is too political, which is bad enough, and its politics are PC, which is worse. It shouldn't be political at all, to the left or the right. The homilies are boring and intellectually pedestrian, the kids are noisy and so are the adults, and there is an overall lack of holiness and sense of the sacred. <br /><br />I'm completely on board with the theology, however.<br /><br />As Wm. F. Buckley once said, "I'm not a devout Catholic, but I am a loyal Catholic." I'm also a believing Catholic. But I'm fed up with the politicized pc social-justice-warrior quasi-marxian mass.
