And last but not least...
Incorrect logic point #3: Protesting (yelling) would have convinced people to change.
Why would someone think that yelling and doing something such as this would change things or do any good? Did they think that automatically Senator Bob Casey would kick the Hindu priest out of the building and invite them up to pray? Did they think they would get more people on their side? I know people who didn't like the fact a Hindu priest was praying, but then changed their minds when they heard of this!
The fact is, screaming at people doesn't change their minds. If someone were to scream at the Christians for praying to their God, I seriously doubt they would change their minds about it. The only times that this isn't so is when the people yelling are scaring the crap out of the others! Fear plays big into this kind of thing. And if you use fear to to brain-wash people into your tactics, I believe you are no different than our very own, Hitler.
Closing Statements:
Here is a clip from the blog "Wasp Jerky" that puts how I feel fairly accurately:
"Ignorance of Christian theology, constitutional law, Hinduism and American history aside, though, I love how they capitalise founding fathers. It's almost like they consider them gods. And insinuating that the world's third largest religion had raped a branch of American government was sheer tactical brilliance. And that bit about backbone and standing on the gospel of Christ? Nice play on words. Poetry really. Still, this reminds me yet again that Christians in the US aren't concerned so much with loving their neighbour as they are with being right. Which is fine, I suppose. Pride is a fruit of the spirit, after all. Remember kids, nothing converts the heathen quite like three people behaving like complete d****."
So, don't you see?! He says, "Christians in the US" NOT, "these types of Christians in the US". This is hard cold evidence that "Christian Extremists" are ruining the views of the Christian culture. I have met many people who choose not to even associate themselves with me when they find out I am a Christian. I have seen those who say that, short of strapping bombs to ourselves, Christians aren't all that different from their Muslim counterparts. And when you really get down to it, there is no difference when you take into consideration, Hitler, Eric Rudolf and other abortion clinic bombers... the list goes on and on. All these people said that they were killing, destroying and pushing people down in the name of Jesus Christ. This is complete crap. In the Christian faith, Jesus wants us to love one another. And if people don't want to be loved, then show them that you can be a well-mannered human being like everyone else. Believe me, just having a good attitude does an infinite amount of a difference.
I hope you will go on with your life and love people. Love them because in today's society there is too much hate. People NEED to be loved and it helps!
