THE GLOBAL BULLY THAT LIBERALISM LOVES
There are problems with the words, "bully," and "bullying," because they can mean various things to different people. For instance, some people think that they are being "bullied" simply when another person tells them things that make them uncomfortable. But let's stay with the basic meaning of the word, which is, "use superior strength or influence to intimidate (someone), typically to force him or her to do what one wants."
BULLYING IS NOT
Bullying is not simply being confronted with disagreeable or uncomfortable facts or reality. Bullying is not simply being called upon to make a choice. If this is true, then life is nothing but a series of bullying experiences and life is filled with bullies, including parents, siblings, friends, teachers, bosses, news reporters, politicians, police, advertisements, doctors. If proclamation is not accompanied by actual force factors (physical, financial), then it is not actually "bullying." Today's "me generation" wants to live in the "la la world of make believe," and "feel good city," where there are no discomforts or disagreeable confrontations at all. Remember, legitimate proclamation of personal requirements and attending consequences are not "bullying."
A DISCONNECT
So, when Liberals cry out against bullying (including their misuse of the term in reference to Christian witnessing), but then they staunchly argue that Islam is a religion of peace and love, then there is a double standard, Islam has always been a religion of bullying, to the point of oppression, enslavement, torture and violent murder.
SELECTIVE LABELING
If a simple Christian witness is considered bullying, then every presentation of every choice or every contingency is also "bullying." Many Liberals are beginning to call anyone who says anything, with which they disagree, "bullying."
Many Liberals would rather allow Islamic bullying to continue (until they become the victims) than let Christians share the good news of Jesus Christ.
Though it is unimaginable, some people think that Islamic proselytizing and Christian evangelism are equally dangerous.
AN ALTERNATE "REALITY"
I would say that there is coming a day when the haters of Biblical Christianity would be glad to see and hear the message of the Bible, but the fact is, sin blinds people to the truth, and they will love darkness rather than light.
