Politics & Religion: The two things they tell you NOT to discuss and why you SHOULD!

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Why is it in a “free” society we have been told over and over again that there are two things we should not discuss—politics and religion?

As our constitutional republic continues to get older, we see less people discussing these topics in both public and private settings. We won’t discuss them with family or friends when we get together for the holidays because they might cause hurt feelings, or worse, a fight that may separate us from loved ones indefinitely—how sad.

According to Dr. Richard D. Proctor, PhD, avoiding discussions of politics and religion, amongst individuals, may have started around the same time the church quit discussing political issues in the pulpit. In 1954, when Senator Lyndon B. Johnson devised his plan to trick the clergy into silence, Dr. Proctor states the people may have followed the church’s lead:

“Sometime during this same period churches began the custom of not discussing politics in their classes or environments. And the people at large began the custom of not discussing either politics or religion.”

Self-censorship seemed to escalate even more during the Clinton administration when the “politically correct” mantra was put into motion decades ago.

If we are a free people in a free society, why can’t we discuss these subjects together in a civil manner? Why do they hammer this lie over and over? We hear this edict from the media gods—and most recently in electronic form—over and over again so that they subconsciously become hands-off topics.

Media and government giants have built up this layer of FEAR to keep us from these discussions because we may find that we actually agree on some points, or worse, we might actually open up someone else’s eyes to truth. This is the reason they created this censorship monster.

This self-censorship is dangerous because it is one of their strategies to divide people in the United States. To put each group of people in a particular box and then pit them one against the other. This has to be done as a way to divide the American people so they can successfully ruin this country and overtake it with their Globalist agenda. Until they divide the people, they cannot take it over.

No matter what your personally-held views or values are, whether you are politically left, right, or center, whether you embrace a religious worldview or a secularist ideology—these views come from your internal barometer—the foundation that is deeply embedded into what makes up your being—your character. These beliefs can either develop or even change over time; however, the point being made here is they are an extension, an outward expression of you and who you are—what makes up you, your personality, how you conduct your life, your behaviors, your speech, your interactions with others—they make up your essence. When I hear these subjects are taboo—I believe they are saying they want you to extinguish you.

When I meet someone and I want to get to know about them, my curiosity about their beliefs tells me immediately, although not exclusively, a lot about that person even without an in-depth discussion. Even if we don’t agree on political and religious views—I want to know more about that person and what experiences brought him or her to what he or she believes. This is nothing more than wanting to get to truly know a person even if we don’t agree. It is not about how can I start a fight or argument with someone, but how we can have an interesting discussion, and maybe even ultimately come to consensus on some issues—but this is exactly what the fear mongers want to discourage.

No matter what your beliefs or views, I encourage you to share and discuss them rather than censor them. The more we self-censor, the less free we become each day that passes.

The time is SHORT for a FREE people to speak up!
