I have been thinking about something for a while now and I am sure you might have even heard me rambling on about it if you know me. This one question has been playing over and over in my head. What is a Terrorist? Websters dictionary defines terrorism as the systematic use of terror especially as means of coersion. Yes terrorism is a real thing. There are plenty of people out there using terror to... well... terrify people. It is a sad thing but it really happens.
But don't you get the feeling that the White House throws around that term a bit too loosely? Ever get that feeling that Hollywood does too? What about the newspapers or the broadcasting networks? What about your church? My point is that just because someone is involved with something that may be considered hostile, does that really make them a terrorist?
These days it seems like everyone is a terrorist. The second something bad goes down, people scream terrorism. What if it that dude that took control of the train took hostages was just a pissed of banker? Or that dude who beat the snot out of that one guy just had one too many bad conversations that day?
In my opinion, people are being brainwashed. They are being told that anyone who disagrees with the standard moral code of society is a terrorist. And it's all cleverly veiled under a shroud of public safety. When the moral code drops to abysmal standards, anyone who disagrees with a sensitive subject is emotionally stoned to death by the public. Pretty soon I feel like we christians are going to be labeled as such. The church today is slowly adopting the sinful nature. It is becoming more and more dangerous to speak out against homosexuality, abortion, and a slew of other things.
One last comment. Today, it is semi-tolerated to speak out against abortion. But our medical facilities are private organizations. What happens when Obamas health care plan starts to fully develop? The whole green movement is starting to take hold and people of high monetary status are promoting population stabilization through the medical establishments. Do you think that the people speaking out against abortion will be labeled terrorists? I mean, they are jeopardizing our wonderful planet... aren't they?
Let me know how you guys feel about this.
I think you're right on with this. Not to mention you word things really well. But, yeah, I think it's not an accident or a coincidence that terrorist and terrorism are being thrown around so much. It's being fed to the masses so that whenever control is questioned the ones in power can cry "terror!" and the public will think it's fine to put whoever, or whatever, to justice. It's going to happen to us soon. Our views of true justice will be looked at as terrorism. They will say we are infringing people's right to do whatever they want, morally or otherwise.
ReplyDeleteI've never thought about this... but after reading I have to agree with you.
