Too Blind:

Yes, I agree that people become blind when they become too set in their ways, their beliefs, especially in regards to religion, to morality, to what might be right and wrong.

Have & Eat Your Cake

So, in response, I say, in part, why not both? Start with objective principles in order to gain some overall perspective.

Principles to Programs

But at the same time, they should at least attempt to apply principles to programs. In other words, they need to always seek after application.

Application = Programs

You gotta apply principles to real-life situations. If not, then you might be too hypothetical, theoretical, within the realm of theory, of fantasy.

Theory of Utopianism

In some cases, socialism and communism can have that same kind of problem of being a nice theory that doesn't work in our current world as we know it, allegedly, it appears. I believe in seeking after a utopia through the free market, through the pursuit towards anarchy.

Anarchy

But we don't have absolute anarchy. But the tide towards anarchy is a mechanism towards seeking some balance in the world. But it is also dangerous as seen in the Middle East with the power vacuums where governments, cartels, terrorist groups, corporations, gangs, Mafia, etc, rise up to take over when there is excessive amounts of anarchy. In America, we have three branches of government that seeks to balance each other out. Well, four branches if you include anarchy, AKA we the people by the people for the people and of the people (an attribute of like democracy to an extent and in connection to a constitutional, representative republic).

Fake Christians

Not all Christians are really Christians. In other words, some Christians don't study the Bible. So, they don't know theological doctrine. They may think they know bits and pieces.

Love = Grace + Justice

Love is grace and justice. But fake Christians are often taught that love is grace and not justice. Globalists and others infiltrated Catholicism, Christianity, Judaism, religions, cults, and I'm not sure about Islam apart from how Jihadism can parallel with corrupt versions of Judaism.

Fake Mega Churches

Some of the bigger churches are misguiding people away from what the Bible teaches.

Leftism

Some of it can be subtle and it parallels how globalists infiltrated the democratic party to infect them with leftist, progressivism, relativity, subjectivity, nihilism, pacifism, apathy, ignorance, arrogance, lust, vanity, insanity, over-confidence, etc. They also infiltrate RINO Republicanism, etc.

Defining Love

Different people define love differently. So, that means people are generally not on the same page when they talk about love and other things, words, ideas, concepts, etc.

Love is Not Surrender

So, like I said, some people take love to mean weakness in letting people walk all over their private property.

Ownership

Well, unless if there is no such thing as private property and ownership. But I believe in ownership. I want to believe in ownership. I choose to believe in ownership, even if I'm wrong about that. So, people can call me crazy, but I choose to use the concept of ownership as a common ground. I prefer that you do what you want on your land. I prefer that you do what you have to do to protect what you might own.

Build a Wall

So, build a fence. Build a wall. Have some watch dogs. Have security cameras. Don't try to dependent on government (cops) to protect your land. Because when you do, you nullify the 4th amendment, that is privacy, possibly, potentially. I believe in the 2nd amendment, the right to bear arms.

Discontinue Search Warrants

So, search warrants should be illegal. Eliminate probable cause, etc. I would undo things that pushes governments towards excessive amounts of 1984 authoritarianism.

Free Roger Stone

Instead of storming the house of like Roger Stone for example, I would simply make videos about the bad guys. For the record, Roger Stone is not a bad guy. But they pretended as if he was and then they invaded his house.

Tell People

With bad guys, I would raise awareness. Make videos. Put it on the Internet. Put it up on billboards. Tell people not to buy and sell with these bad guys until they turn themselves in.

Puppy-Guard The Place

Have police outside of the property waiting for them to come off their land. Get their permission before going onto their land.

Renters Are Not Owners

Now, if they are renting, then it is not their land. They would just have to get permission from the landlords. Which brings to question whether or not government has the right over all of the land within their nation, their borders. That is a good debate to have. But that is a topic of another time. Love is grace and justice. That is what love is, by the way.

Defining Love

Of course, some people say that is not what love is. I disagree with that. I strongly disagree with that. Love is life. The essence of how life works is the personification of how love is revealed.

Love = Life

Our ability to make choices is God's gift to us. We can choose not to believe in God. So, some of us choose to believe that God does not exist. So, we develop through the course of our lives. That is character development. We are not robots. We grow. We learn. We experience pain, joy, emotions, etc. We make choices through our freewill. That is priceless. I love the free market. I love private property.

Specific vs General

Your definition of love might be more specific than my definition of love. When you talk about love, you might be talking about forgiveness, grace, mercy, compassion, empathy, sympathy, connection, caring, etc. But my definition of love is more general to include justice on top of that. When parents love their children, they discipline them.

Love Includes Correction Over Prevention

What is discipline? An aspect of justice. I try to define love as I try to study God, the creator. Now, if there is no creator, then there is no centralization and ultimate authority to morality, reality, and everything.

The Objector of Objectives

If there is no objector who makes up the rules, the eternal principles, then there is no objectivity. All we got is subjectivity through the centralization of decentralized minds. It is that simple.

Chaos

If there is no God, then there is no objectivity. That means, I would be wrong in what I believe. Now, I'm ok with being wrong. So, I might be wrong. I accept that. But I choose to believe in objectivity.

The Value of Philosophy

Now, Stefan Molyneux @stefan.molyneux talks about some of these things. There is value in philosophy. People see things through the lens of relativity to an extent or absolutely.

Clear as Mud

It can be hard to see abstractly. It can be hard to see objectively. We as humans are aware of objectivity, it seems, and that in and itself appears to prove that objectivity exists because we are aware of it.

Blind Mice Up Clocks

We may not know everything about objectivity like blind men may not know everything about an elephant. But that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. And on top of that, regardless of whether objectivity exists completely because of an objector (creator) or not is irrelevant to the fact that we can choose to apply objectivity to subjectivity.

Value of Application

See, that is where application comes in hand.

Win-Win Situation

And objectivity does not have to be real to be applicable. So, I could be right and I could be wrong about God existing. I might be a crazy person to believe in something that doesn't exist. But that doesn't make the application of those principles not practical to the extent they are practical and applicable depending on the situation. Love is God and God is Love. And we begin to understand some of that in life as life is love as all life comes from God who is love.

Is there order to the universe?

Now, technically, if there is no creator, then we live in a world dictated by chance, by accidents, by coincidences, to mistakes, to the big bang, evolution, mutation, etc.

Ongoing Mutation

Now, of course, mutation occurs either way, that is with or without Intelligent Design. And chance and mistakes happen. Evolution happens within the realm of mutation.

Question of Our Origins

But ultimately, it can be a question of origins, of how it all started. So, that is the value of science.

Observational Science vs Historical Sciences

But observational science is not the same historical science according to Ken Ham of Answers in Genesis (AIG).

Borders vs Open Borders

So, do you believe in borders or in open borders? In the United States of Americas, welfare begin accelerating, increasing, more and more, since the 1930's for example.

Open borders vs Welfare

Foreigners come into the USA and take advantage of welfare which tax payers end up paying. Meanwhile, the vets and the homeless are treated worse then immigrants in the 1900's especially.

Melting Pot Leak

During the founding of the USA, the founding fathers were not trying to create a melting pot to allow the whole world live in America. Instead, America was originally designated for people who agree with our constitution, our bill of rights, which roots from the Judeo-Christian Bible.

Welfare is Dangerous

Now, the more welfare a country has, then the higher the walls. See, open borders is not compatible with welfare to the extent that tourists can acquire the welfare. Look at the Fall of Rome for example.

Democracy vs Republic

Well, technically, if a country is a democracy and if the people vote to let the immigrants come and extract the welfare, the resources, then power to the people. Now, America was originally a republic and not a democracy. But America has been become more and more a democracy. That is bad.

Corporatism

But it should not be a democracy to the extent it becomes a mob-ruling cartel systems of corporations, etc. If you are, hypothetically speaking, really bad, if you killing and murdering millions of people, all of the time, and you continue to do so, and nothing can stop you, and we cannot send you to Mars or to some isolated island, I would want to lawfully and fairly and justly execute you within the realm of capital punishment after a fair trial in a court of law with the best lawyers and jurors and laws and procedures and police and judges in the world, perhaps, and some people agree with that. Some people may not like that.

The Value of Justice

The alternative is to let people murder you. So, if you want to let a guy murder you, then have fun dying. You can believe whatever you want to believe. Of course, trials, laws, judges, etc, can be corrupt, etc.

The Swamp

So, innocent people are executed. I was in jail unfairly in Oregon in 2012. I met people who said they were innocent of alleged crimes. And some people are innocent. Some laws should not be laws. Some laws are unfairly applied. But that does not mean all laws are bad.
