Is this a true Christian?

[Aardverk]

Okay, so his words, what did they accomplish? Did they educate, communicate, improve any thing?

He achieved absolutely nothing that I am aware of except publicise his denomination's objection to universal suffrage and freedom of sexual preference. As I made very clear, right from the start, I was admiring his courage not his words.

We all have a right to free speech (if we are lucky enough to live in a civilised country) and must therefore suffer fools sometimes exercising their right to speak. If the day comes when you want to stand on your soapbox maybe you will remember the courage of that oaf and be fortified by it.

Once in a while someone shouting from a soapbox may be saying something worth listening to. I assume you are female. Just remember that not many years ago you would not have been allowed to inherit anything if you had a brother, you would have given to your husband any property you owned when you married him, he would have been allowed to beat you whenever he wanted, you would have had no right to institute divorce proceedings, you would not have had any chance of keeping your child upon divorce, you would have had no chance of taking any money or property with you upon divorce, you had no vote and no rights to anything except simply to live. People standing on soapboxes changed all that - so give them a chance please.
