[QUOTE="Jaybird, post: 165843, member: 22283"] Like I have told my wife, the recent events have shaken me like I've never been shaken before. I can't quite explain it to anyone who isn't feeling what I am in my gut. I have experienced the gammit of emotions the past few days. I have been through disbelief, fear, anger, sorrow, and rage. I have cried like a baby and felt sadness I've never felt before. I've had sympathy as well as hatred for people I don't know. As a person who remembers well the nightly body count on the news(for how many years?10-12?), my emotions are again being taxed to say the least. That being said.... Joe, I simply think that your humanitarian concerns are quite commendable. I understand them. But...we cannot comprehend how this current enemy thinks. If you say you can, you would be wrong. These folks are on a different wave length. What I fear you don't understand is that all of fundamentalist Islam advocates the actions of the hijackers. And that is not one small group of people. It is not a rouge band of thugs as you may imagine. These 'groups' are state sponsored devices of destruction. Meaning there are countries not only harboring them, but aiding, funding, and championing their effort. We already know this to be true of many mid-east countries because of past demands that were ignored. This is not the first time we have been attacked by terrorism. And if we don't act, and act with full force and vengence, we will continue to suffer the consequences of false hope. I'm just as appauled by human suffering as you are. This I'm sure of. Stop and think of what all has been sacrificed in past years by YOUR forefathers. Many have made the ultimate sacrifice in order for YOU to enjoy the freedoms that we Americans share. For us to have achieved the status that we have in such an incredibly short time, in part, is due to our faith. Faith is a safe haven for us. No matter where your faith lies, one needs it. Our country was built on faith. Yes, our forefathers were faithful to their God. They fought and died for the right to worship their God in any fashion they see fit, without the fear of government intervention or persecusion. I did not intend to make this a religeous debate, but rather a debate on faith. Faith is what holds us together, without it, I feel we don't have much. Although some would see my comments as a religeous fanatasism, It's far from it. I did not, nor do I intend to bring up any religeous doctrine here. But to be quite honest I do have a problem with people who call themselves "athiest". I can't comprehend the notion other than think it has to do more with confusion, than a full disbelief of any sort of higher power than ourselves. You as an American have gained the right to have your belief, or lack of it for that matter. And it is a direct result of people being in a similar situation to where our country is now and them making decisions that would ultimately effect the world forever. But I also reserve the right to speak out against doctrine that I see as inappropriate/misguided at best. KLX4spokes....Explain to me how I showed myself to be a religeous fanatic. And if you do convince me that there was fanatisism, where are the similaraties to the WTC bombers? You chose to equate me with the ones who I have the utmost apathy and hatred for, and I object highly. BTW, it takes much more conviction to stand up and proclaim faith to something, than to shout the lack of it. Of that I am also certain. I suggest you prioratize. [/QUOTE]
