In what order do you live your life?
Just a simple Arfcom Poll. |
|
God, family, country.
though they are close, that is the order i would trust them and live. (obviously there are gray areas because just i am a blood relative of some crazy leftist [which im not] i would not put them before my country; and likewise if a family member would take up arms against the country i wouldnt stand with them just because they are family nor would i stand w/ my country just because it is my country.) |
|
beyond GOD the other two are variable dependent on the circumstance,
if my brother is in the shits with our Country(government) and I believe my brother, I will defend him IF my brother has sold our secrets for profit to an enemy, I will shoot him in the head in the name of Country I would shoot a representative of my Country IF I found they were breaking the Law of the Country by their actions GOD gives me the Moral standard to decide either way |

I voted "Family, Country, God" but I feel that requires some explanation.
I hold loyalty to my family, my friends, and a way of life alone. My country can only remain so while it still retains some measure of freedom and self-government. I don't put myself under a flag, but an ideal, and if our flag becomes a symbol of oppression or despair then it can no longer be my flag. As far as god, I don't believe in one, so naturally that falls to the bottom of the list. |

Quoted:
If I'm honest, I'd say family, country, God. That said, I think God looks more favorably upon taking care of family and honoring freedom than He does hours in church. hours in church does not equal serving God. A lot of christians need to learn that, if they didn't need to learn that, I think your opinion would change. 
(this is not to insult your point of view. I agree with you that God looks more favorably upon taking care of family and honoring freedom than spending time in church but to truly serve God is most important) |
