But if you are sprouting BS to everybody else, you are a threat to everyone else
I'm sorry Jay. I like you're "Try to see the best in people" approach - even though I disagree with much of what you have said on this topic I can see you have a positive outlook.
But I'm very concerned regarding your thought pattern - some of what you are saying seems straight out of CCP's handbook.
If I might ask - who decides who's sprouting BS? Who decides what's dangerous? Our doctors? Because they're gagged at the moment. Scientists? They're telling us something else? Or our government? We are under more control than ever before in all these departments.
Please remember - we are not at war with another nation. That illustration simply doesn't apply. People's concerns about what's happening and where we're being lied to are not traitorous actions and not deserving of criminal convictions.
If it's being worried about damage - the question is damage to
who? Last week my wife was notified of yet another friend who has committed suicide during this lockdown time here in Victoria. The the damage from pointless decisions that are causing such heartache doesn't seem to be of concern.
Rather - would you please consider another possibility - that with Dan it has always been about control (well before COVID) - and this is just another power grab.
Please consider that we are under a draconian premier - and this is not recent. For a long time now he has made moves to take more freedom of speech and actions away from people - well before COVID. Just that with COVID he's found the means to accelerate that significantly.
If we sit back for a moment, ignore all this and accept what the government is telling us as truth - even that prospect is extremely frightening: We have a situation where no one has any idea on who's running the state because decisions are being made that apparently no one knows who made those decisions! An unknown and unaccountable entity that is running our state!
Well - maybe the government is lying then (but that would be a conspiracy theory - possibly not permitted to be considered under that bill if passed) but even if this was to be the case - that would mean the real truth must be scarier than that for them to cover up the truth with that story, and now that won't be allowed to be uncovered under conspiracy laws.
These are actions we expect in China, not Australia.
Daniel simply has no end. If this law gets past, then what is next? Because their will be a next, and another, and another. He is out of control. Absolute power corrupts absolutely and that is what we are witnessing before our eyes.
Looking back - please reflect on the previous fruit of who you are defending - that we currently have a premier who has introduced law after law against truth - against God and His people. Under the recent Labour government - more recent laws we now can't speak truth if it's offensive (religious vilification act). We can't help/support those with gender dysphoria - that's considered BS and dangerous 'conversion therapy'. Even praying with people in those situations now is questionable as being illegal. Let's not mention murder - whether it be for the sick, or unborn.
And now we're headed in a direction where we can't consider any possibility other than what the government dictates to us as being truth because that will be a 'conspiracy theory' and he is pushing to have the power to dictate what is truth and B.S.
Yet out of all this - none of that concerns me too greatly. I'm aware that Satan's people will follow his leading. We are entering a time where this will occur more and more, and we will have more freedoms lost. That's happened in the past, and we're headed their again. He, and many others are simply serving their master.
What has compelled me to write this post is what I'm really concerned about - and that is when I see Christians defend, support and try to justify these decisions, and those that continue to bring in these anti-Godly laws. You may not agree with the mocking and hatred that we see from some in Victoria via news and other outlets that Dan is getting - I support you with that. Mocking is not a Godly attribute either, neither is hate and we're to pray for our leaders, and love our enemies.
But - I would though urge you to please reconsider who and what you choose to defend, support or justify. These are not innocent and harmless actions that are being brought in. Please consider who Dan is really serving, and what his end goal really is with these bills because I suspect it's sugar coated on the top to disguise the evil underneath.
