Why are we so willing to look the other way? Why would we even consider to allow them any form of Sharia law in our country. I just do not understand people.

It was only so you could refer to her correctly, that's all.

Yes, he also made a point of how he did not personally ask for such payment, but his attitude certainly doesn't seem to suggest that he'd be sinning if he did assert his rights to payment.Mark Baker-Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14593390925694976101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19505042.post-12092161718918238432010-10-13T07:25:03.539-07:002010-10-13T07:25:03.539-07:00"Many people come out of fundamentalism with ..."Many people come out of fundamentalism with the sense that they have wasted years of their life in futility.

It sounds so saintly, perhaps?<br /><br />Believers do have rights and the Scriptures teach this. It IS true that a believer can decide to not invoke a right for a greater good, but that is a far cry from not having any rights.Donald Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07904992652259586383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19505042.post-66000206963874581152010-10-13T06:21:12.480-07:002010-10-13T06:21:12.480-07:00P.S. the RJS who blogs at Jesus Creed is a woman.
...<i>P.S. the RJS who blogs at Jesus Creed is a woman.</i><br /><br />I completely misjudged that one! But it doesn't change my basic reaction about rights. Being deprived of rights is very serious business, and we have to have a certain amount of autonomy to maintain life. If we are parents, then we need rights in order to fulfill our basic responsibilities.Suzanne McCarthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07033350578895908993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19505042.post-16878626750590798842010-10-12T23:01:55.582-07:002010-10-12T23:01:55.582-07:00If basic human rights were truly viewed by churche...If basic human rights were truly viewed by churches as being inalienable for a woman and endowed by her Creator, she wouldn't need to keep talking about them. She would be able to take them for granted just like the men do.<br /><br />Marie Antoinette is said to have said "Let them eat cake" when told the peasants had no bread. She couldn't understand why they would cry out for something she took for granted. Should she have faulted the peasants for their self-seeking?Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08252374623355509404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19505042.post-49704279537113323132010-10-12T21:32:30.712-07:002010-10-12T21:32:30.712-07:00Thanks for writing this, Suzanne.

The background I've come out of is nowhere near as bad as yours was (I simply grew up Southern Baptist), but it has screwed with my head in ways I feel it will take my whole life to undo. It's discouraging when something so fundamental to human flourishing is brushed aside as an impediment to "real" matters. <br /><br /><br /><br />P.S. the RJS who blogs at Jesus Creed is a woman.Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00574613265955035061noreply@blogger.com
