Defiance to Tyranny is Obedience to God

 

Defiance to Tyranny is Obedience to God

Acts 5:29:  "Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men."

YOU CAN FIGHT AGAINST EVIL, BUT YOU CAN'T FIGHT AGAINST STUPID


When I think of all the stupid people who blindly follow the dictates of the evil Global Vaccine Nazis, I think of this quote:

Dietrich Bonhoeffer on Stupidity


“Stupidity is a more dangerous enemy of the good than malice. One may protest against evil; it can be exposed and, if need be, prevented by use of force. Evil always carries within itself the germ of its own subversion in that it leaves behind in human beings at least a sense of unease. Against stupidity we are defenseless. Neither protests nor the use of force accomplish anything here; reasons fall on deaf ears; facts that contradict one’s prejudgment simply need not be believed – in such moments the stupid person even becomes critical – and when facts are irrefutable they are just pushed aside as inconsequential, as incidental. In all this the stupid person, in contrast to the malicious one, is utterly self-satisfied and, being easily irritated, becomes dangerous by going on the attack. For that reason, greater caution is called for when dealing with a stupid person than with a malicious one. Never again will we try to persuade the stupid person with reasons, for it is senseless and dangerous.”
