First there is intent (do good), then there is action (do good). Proof is in the pudding.
What, like not call out false teachers like R.B.?
I'll answer the above somewhat indirectly with a true account. Back in early High school when I rode the bus, there was a Freshman who rode same, who was the classic so called "nerd". Small, slender, frail, had glasses, was socially awkward.
There was another kid on the bus who was a semi popular kid, who had bullying tendencies. Most everday, he would do something to the above kid, and NOBODY on the bus would do anything about it.
I found myself getting angrier and angrier watching this. After one particular incident when the bullying kid, gave the other kid a very painful wedgy, I figured, enough was enough. I took that kid by the throat and slammed him into the side windows of the bus and told him that if he ever bothered him again, he would pay dearly.
Others were shocked by this incident of violence. Well, the bullying kid didn't pick on the other kid anymore.
It is good and positive to stand up to bullying and those who partake in same. That's what Albert and I have been doing here, though the bullying is more subtle and not really person specific. It's belief system bullying/forcing, and trying to convert this forum into a religiously Christian based one.
As long as bullying is going on, then I will stand up to it. Somebody has to, just like on that bus. I guess the other boy could have taken martial arts for awhile and then maybe have stood up for himself, but it was very clear, he was completely paralyzed by fear and passive. Sometimes people need to step in when the situation is extreme.
