Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Why is it God > Family > Country instead of God > Country > Family ?
Because that is the order of Creation.
Indeed. It really should be God, Country, Family. Without God, the country cannot exist. Without the country, the family cannot exist. Men & women who died in war to protect their country not only sacrifice their lives. They sacrifice their families. One who sacrifices his country for the sake of his family is both short-sighted and wrong. The family will not remain secure or safe very long if the country is lost.
Love your nation as if they are your family, and more than you love your family. Both your family and your nation will prosper.
Here's my point of view: God create individuals. Individuals form families. Families form countries. If the individuals die out, there will be no families. If families die out, the country will be no more. Today's Left promotes abortion, take children away from their parents to be brainwashed or even trafficked, and limitless immigration, all because they hate families and put the state above it. The family unit, even under countless wars, anarchy and regime changes, survives and persists. Europeans are still Europeans, Asians are still Asians, because family is what defines a country.
It will be: Family inGod, society in God, country in God, world in God. That means: First establish connection to God as an individual. Then found a family of two who have established connecrion to God, then society etc.
I agree on a level. The family is the foundation and the root, the place where God becomes present, and can reach out to the society and nation.
