You guys are great AMAZING thinkers!
Very sensitive to the spirit and loving people. Thanks for the reply.
It was after I saw that atheist bible video post that made me think of it. Yeah.. I agree that there is so much in the media that is influencing people. My thought was -what intentional acts are actually being done. Some people can see clearly that these messages are way too inappropriate and way too intrusive to the spirit, but others find it stimulating to their senses and supporting their egos. I for one am offended by even the slightest disrespect and perversion. This might be due to the fact that I am a mother and teacher. I prefer to maintain the innocence for young children. I see the spirit as a delicate sensitive baby girl. One who watches everything and feels every emotion-influence. I know that it is really not practical for us to be this sensitive. It may appear to others as emotional instability for an adult to be so sensitive. However, if we lose the awareness and balance, we also lose the ability to protect that spirit and our brothers/sisters. Some people are struggling with a heightened sensitivity due to so much stress in the world. Some people are oblivious to the harm they create- such as trend fed ego inspired individuals. So yea they sell their identity for a $, popularity-attention, or for a SENSORY need, to only feel regret once awakened...if they ever do. Some aimlessly dominate situations with a fly by night theory that may change over the slightest "In" inspirational new philosophy. These situations I was not really thinking of when I made the suggestion. The suggestion was made because there are more direct things going on which I feel directly effect the freedom and reputation of "christian".
Sympathy for a non-believer: I was not a believer. I was definitely not open to being one. Often, I also struggle with "faith". What still remains aside from me and others is that there is an established foundation. This has nothing to do with an individual, but with a spirit. I personally want to protect the spirit in me and for those I care for. I am now developing an interest in wanting to protect it for every christian because I see them as part of a family I would like to be apart of and have my kids around. There are many non christians that I feel are great people and are really reliable. I am not trying to be anti-nonchristians here. Though I also see friends and family members who keep falling away from what is healthy for them, and getting involved in something that effects everyone around them.
Happycamper...I agree that we should demonstrate the Love the Lord has given to us more. But... I would also have felt hopeless and confused if I were in the temple that people made a market place and saw Jesus supporting it. Validation and conviction is an important guide sometimes.
