True story...

My sister worked at a day care. Her first job in the morning was to open the car door for the kids when they arrived. One morning, she opened the door and heard the kid say, "What happened to all the stupid idiots?" The mother said, "They only come out when your dad drives."

Reminds me of a story another mother told. She was driving her daughter home after ball practice. It was much later in the day than they usually drove home, and traffic was much lighter than normal.

The daughter had been quiet almost the whole trip. Suddenly as they got close to their home she asked, "Mom are YOU ever the idiot?"

Sigh...

Proverbs 27:5 - 6
Open rebuke is better than secret love.
Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.

This is how I see it:
In the Bible, "rebuke" signifies a strong expression of disapproval or criticism, often used to correct or reprove someone for wrong behavior or actions, aiming to bring about repentance or change.

In a biblical context, "mock" signifies treating someone or something with scorn, contempt, or ridicule, often involving disrespect or dismissal, and is frequently associated with unbelief, pride, and rebellion against God

I must say I really do value free speech and do appreciate the input I read from different positions. It's great we can all voice our hearts in this manner and see the trajectory of nuances trending now. I just have to post my position also, and certainly wouldn't want to be suppressed in doing so either🙏🙌

To my thinking, one can only support Communism if one is evil, or one is stupid. If I were a Communist, I would hope people would tell me this directly, so that I could repent. To my thinking, this would be love, whilst saying nothing would actually be hate. And if done in a humorous way, all the better for accepting painful truths, eh? ;-)

For those who sincerely believe their Communism can coexist with Christianity without being evil or foolish, this is between them and God. Note Proverbs 1, where Wisdom laughs at and mocks those who wouldn't heed her rebuke. Elijah also mocked the priests of Baal. But nice to have some discussion thrown in. :)

Proverbs 1:20 - 33
Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:
She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying,
How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord:
They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
