I have seen man's inhumanity to man firsthand. I have seen men brutally murdered, tortured, women raped, children held as hostages and then murdered. People forced to do things that were totally against their will and their believes.
I made a decision in 1967-1968 to defend these people and if possible give them the right to choose for themselves how they would live. Didn't work out as I thought it would. But it gave me a chance to examine myself and develope my future believes, opinions, and actions.
I would do about anything not to have a confrontation with anyone else. I will back away if at all possible. I will turn and run if you will let me. However, If you mess with me, my wife, my children, or my grandchildren and I feel you are attempting to do them harm, and there is no other alternative, I will kill you dead on the spot. I will worry about the legal ramifications, which I'm sure will follow, later.
I study the Scriptures everyday. I believe what they say. There are many examples where the Lord either caused or allowed people to protect themselves and their families. He is a just and kind and fair God. He would expect nothing else. We are taught to be in the World not of the World. I pray for this ability everday.
I don't try to force my believes on anyone else. I would encourage each to study the Scriptures for yoursef and make up your own mind.
There is no denying this is a cold cruel world. There are just to many crazys out in the world today. I couldn't live with myself if I allowed my wife, children, or grandchildren to suffer these atrocities because I was not willing to protect them. Even to the death.
I'm certainly not trying to represent myself as anything other than just a poor, dumb, regular guy just trying to survive in the world as we know it today. This is how I feel.
