Always a great puzzle to me when people rail against 'liberalism'.
I swear 50% of the country have never bothered to look up what the word actually means.
Quote:
lib·er·al·ism:
noun
1. willingness to respect or accept behaviour or opinions different from one's own; openness to new ideas.
2. a political and social philosophy that promotes individual rights, civil liberties, democracy, and free enterprise.
People supporting civil liberties and having rights!!!
Rahhh! where's my pitchfork?
The people who produced this spent a lot of effort, and by what you said, I assume its leading to a, " Christian end" as maybe proof?
Just assuming because like I said, I only watched 30 min.
What is the end game?
I mean for those who don't have 30 min or however long it lasts..
Thanks, it is interesting.
The video was indeed very well made I found one of the most interesting aspects is how this video was able to articulate and explain the cultural revolutions we have seen over the past few generations especially in regards to music. Music is an outlet for one's soul. This video give punk rock as an example of the type of rebellions we have seen over the generations. Now at first glance for Christians we may have looked at these rebellions as born out of moral degeneracy and there was certainly plenty of that in the culture however they and the other cultural revolutions have much more in common with the Christian worldview that one would realize. When one looks deeper we see their Rebellion against the world was one driven by a deep down dissatisfaction of how western culture had become. In terms of the greed, consumerism, vanity, corruption and pride, where there was little compassion for the other. They retreated from the world and their music was an outlet for them where they could gather as a community around the new ideals they had founded believing these new ideals to offer something more true and beautiful than the world could offer
Of course while all these cultural and political revolutions over the last few centuries were able to entice the entire huge numbers of people in the end they all have led to the same road that their founders seeked to escape. Why? Because they miss the mark. They know something is wrong with the world and it's values therefore they seek to create their own. At the beginning their cause is pure and just but because it does not lead to the very truth itself which is Christ it descends into becoming another tentacle of the world dissillusioning it's members into believing there is no hope or escape. As Christians we must show the world that the most radical rebellion and one that leads to truth, to goodness and to complete inner peace is by embracing the One true God who died for our sins on the cross and rose again on the third day.

P.S. Oh, those wonderful folks with pitchforks stomping around, playing the part of perfect fools.

Wow, thanks for taking the time to try and sort me out. I am so slow, maybe my age or something, I just cant follow like I used to, half the time people use words too big for me, I have to stop and look of definitions but you did good.
