Bias and Prejudice

In America today, we are inundated with cries of tolerance and fairness. To be blunt: there is no such thing as fairness when dealing with other people. So, it's time for everyone, Christians and unbelievers alike, to stop pussyfooting around with the lie that tolerance is the key to a better world. The Romans couldn't coexist with the cultures they conquered, nor could the Medo-Persians, the Greeks, or the Babylonians. So if there is five thousand years of history already written on this subject that proves it will not work, then what makes us so arrogantly think that we can somehow become the exception to disprove the rule? Every person has his own opinions, and these opinions and beliefs shape the way every man lives his life. What really matters is the answer to the question, What Is Right? The principles and ideas that are right are all that matter. And it is worth fighting for them even if it means losing everything to preserve them. so, now that I have laid these basic principles, how are they relevant? In politics, everyone hears, and seems to want, bi-partisanship. When I cast a vote and my candidate wins, I don't send him to the legislature to compromise. I send him there to stand for my beliefs, even if it gets him banned from the Capitol grounds. And if it does, he is not relieved of his obligation until removed from office or his term expires. In religion, there is the "big-tent" idea. That all religions are equal and we should all come together under one roof because in the end all religions lead to the same place . . . Pish posh! Christ said, "I am THE way, THE truth, and THE life." He is exclusive in His claim and He leaves no room for any other exalted human or organism --- not the Pope, not Mahomet, not Buddha, not the Earth, not anything nor any one can be co-equal with Him. So does that make me racist, or any other undesirable appellation? Yes. Everyone, including me and you the reader, makes assumptions about other people based on financial, educational, ethnic, personal and employment background, just to name a few examples. For example, which one do you want taking your test for you, the Asian kid, the Hispanic kid, or the Black kid? So with all this, allow me to motivate you to stop pretending to be just and equitable because you let others run your life for you through the threat of slander. Find someone looking to give away a spine and get yourself a spine transplant so that the starch in your shirt isn't the only thing holding you up!
