What ever happened to respect and treating others with the same dignity that we all want. People today preach too often and do not listen. As I recently told a family member, "try putting yourself in their shoes."lara77https://www.blogger.com/profile/12595738597369639417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534539169157708222.post-75238796285060749902010-12-15T09:21:10.950-05:002010-12-15T09:21:10.950-05:00Yes, it is scary how the - What I believe is truth...Yes, it is scary how the - What I believe is truth and what you believe is fallacy- mentality is so prevalent. Many of us have been taught to stand up for our convictions, but where does standing up for one's convictions end and shoving them down someone's throat begins.Julygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08113475639726723076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534539169157708222.post-43494820423202523852010-12-14T15:49:48.598-05:002010-12-14T15:49:48.598-05:00We see by this, the folly of the legislation of mo...We see by this, the folly of the legislation of morality. This is the foundation of the Puritan idea of "we know better than you do". which has borne it's fruit here in the liberal movement. What they do not agree with they (he) called "superstition and malignancy".

If December 25th happened to be declared a fast day, no Christmas celebrations could be permitted. Even if Christmas fell on a Sunday, no special church service celebrations were allowed. The vestiges of pre-Reformation Christmas festivities were just too Catholic for the Puritans.Stephanie A. Mannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14796489639420491857noreply@blogger.com
