I believe that one's "world view" is very often evident in postings we see in forums like this one.
There are two major competeing world views in our 21st century US..the Judeo-Christian world view, or the atheistic-agnostic world view.
Yes, imposters crop up now and then with terrorist philosophies such as the " Hashishians" in the past, but they are not a part of this discussion...
In outlining these two world views, I am GENERALIZING...after all, few will fit either one side or the other by 100%..
Let's reflect:
when it comes to questions about illegal drug use, abortion, gun rights, educational styles, child discipline, homo-marriage, social welfare, morality (and it's source), crime & punishment, dealing with terrorism, patriotism, hunting and trapping, union vs right-to-work, vegetarianism, animal "rights", black&white as opposed to "fuzzy" thinking and a myriad of other subjects...one's world view in my opinion, quickly manifests itself...
I also believe that these world views are often manifested in choices we make, such as driving a pickup truck or a Volvo, eating venison steak or Quiche, attending a barbeque or a "wine & cheese" tasting....Wranglers or Levis, getting high on God's creation as opposed to trancendental meditation, new age philosophies or "designer drugs".. Speaking of designer, another difference..off the shelf or "designer" clothes.
I personally believe that it even ends up in which major political party we most support...not that either is correct all, or even most of the time...but admittedly, one holds closer to the Judeo-Christian view while the other seems to pursue consciously, the athiest-agnostic view.
Now, we can differ somewhat on a couple points, but if we differ radically., obviously we hold different "world views"...
Things can be deceptive...for instance; I know some folks who claim the title "Christian"..but being of a very liberal persuasion, is a practical atheist-agnostic !
..Before you excoriate me over one small point..remember, I generalized...
So folks:...your thoughts, please...
BTW: To clarify our stance a bit more, let's take our stand (if you wish).. are you of the Judeo-Christian stance ( J-C )
or are you of the atheist-agnostic stance ( A-A )...No wrong answer, just different opinions..and may explain why we sometimes disagree here among shooters !
I am of the J-C stance ..and I mean J. C. ( Jesus Christ )..
