The article takes about Christian reconciling with folks they hurt.
"When anyone spews hate toward another person they are clearly not operating according to the Holy Spirit," Mehl said. "It is extremely sad when this happens and I hope that [Christians] would be convicted of their sin and repent and reconcile with those they hurt."
Sure, I've repressed my natural urges before, lust, greed, anger, hate, fear, etc... These days though there is little for me to repress.
Freedom to live as you choose is no freedom?
I think freedom from control by emotions/urges is more "free". However everyone seems to have their own idea of what freedom is.
Depends on what you want to be free from. Free from government interference, free from societal stigmas or freedom from irrational fears brought on by religious indoctrination... just to name a few.
Marching on Washington implies they want something from the government. What is that exactly? What kind of freedom that they currently lack are they marching for? Or are they marching in opposition to those who choose not to live that repressed existence you choose to live?
It reminds me of the video I recently saw of the lone black man marching in support of the confederate flag while a bunch of white people cheer him on. Sad.
