Re: DC Sexual Assault Thread: We needed one...
I still believe all because it's hard doesn't mean you don't do anything. What Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks did wasn't easy or simple or painless. They said enough is enough and did something about it.
You understand that others were dealing with the issue at the same time right? You named two people who were leaders in the community but there were literally millions of others that dealt with race issues and even had to deal with the fallout of MLK and Rosa Parks standing up. It isnt like MLK stood up and the next day things changed, even he had to deal with the fallout for years up to and including being assassinated for it. You are seriously downplaying how much work it took and how much people had to suffer (and still do 60 years later just to be clear) to get there.
And of course the WELS voted Trump...why wouldnt a hardline religious group vote for a divorced, adulterous, lying alleged rapist who had zero covenant with God and bowed down to other Gods (see: money) and literally stood for nothing the Bible stands for or in your case Jesus. In fact he is about as far away from the teachings of Jesus as you can get. Congrats, you made a deal with the devil...just remember the path to hell is paved with good intentions.
"But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ."
-2 Corinthians Chapter 11 verse 3
"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."
-John Chapter 10 verse 10
But again, if you want to fix things, start with religion and go from there. As long as you teach that women are lesser, and as long as they are treated as such, most will never change.
