Blind faith in others will get you killed. If you consider that "loco", then it must be correct.
You talk about blind faith yet I've made no mention of being in support of Islamic values or lifestyle myself.
Meaning yours was a "blind accusation" or rather assumption.
There is this saying I swear by about those who 'assume' too much.
Although your definition of “Islamic values” is entirely warped so I can understand where that assumption comes from.
I don’t appreciate Islam because it demeans women and is over dogmatic.
But that has no more to do with terrorism or the war on terror then being Christian or Buddhist would make either of us into terrorists.
That however is off topic.
The age of a president has nothing to do with some biblical mandate.
“In god we trust” replaced “e pluribus Unum” on our currency in the early 20th century BUT if you do happen to follow scripture, you would know that a mark of divinity upon currency is a sin.
“Beware the money changer”.
If you happen to follow that dogma.
No matter how much some people would prefer it, church and state are separate in this country.
Which is why you will not see anyone going to jail over burning a bible as apposed to burning a flag.
Another thing I find entirely wrong with making such assumptions about politics and people is that it makes us seam like a very stupid country.
An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.
My faith has carried me through plenty of harmful situations and it has definitely kept me away from death.
So with the method tested, my faith works.
Your pretty big on the shock value of your statements by including death as a factor.
Death is NOT a funny thing and unless you have been around it, you really have no basis in trying to reference the issue as your own personal bargaining chip.
I’m not buying the bluff in that and it isn’t going to work as a joke so what exactly do you think you are saying by it?
I’d like to see you try to not get yourself killed.
No one sees it coming and you are never ready. You learn that in basic.
You do your job, you do what is expected , you don’t act stupid and you do not assume for anything.
I think you must be correct (to yourself) quite often.
Now you can think of something else to say.
