Would you rather...?

Question

stand alone and stand up for what you believe in. (Such as religion or morals, or rights for a good cause?) Or stand in a crowd and go with the flow with what they believe in, have friends that don't believe in nothing?
For me, I will stand alone, with no friends and continue to believe and let my heart guide me to do the right things in my life. What about you?

Answer 1

I will stand alone and believe and let my heart guide me to do the right things in life. Often as a gay man, I'm attacked for having the audacity to claim I know Christ. I'm told that I'm wrong, I cannot know Christ, it's impossible, and I'm deluded. Yet, none of this changes what I know in my heart. None of this changes the personal relationship I have with Christ and the love and blessings He has shown me during my entire life. I know in the deepest part of my heart that God accepts me as a gay man. Thus, rather than be quiet so others can feel comfortable with their homophobia, it's more important for me to stand up for my beliefs so other gay people can possibly get to know Christ, too.

Answer 2

Interesting question, with thought provoking implications. It's easy, and almost expected, to say you would stand alone, stand up for what's right. BUT; what happens when "push comes to shove" and perhaps you or a loved ones life is on the line, what then? I've been the "lone wolf" most of my life because of what I believe (basically Christian) and I've got the scars to prove it. I have seen people I thought were morally strong fold like a deck of cards under duress. So don't be to quick to answer until you do some serious soul searching.

Answer 3

All I know is if I judge people no matter if I stand alone or in a group I don't have time to love them. So I must honoably walk alone in the world and clear the stones in my path that are hurled at me from whom ever and use those stones to make my foundation to stand and rise above so that the stones no longer hurt me. Though my path has been made those who come behind me still have to walk where I have walked. Wisdom has been handed down throughout the generations and wisdom does not always come in groups nor alone but wisdom does travel person to person.

Answer 4

I really don't ever see myself as standing alone.
Col 1:27 To whom God would make known what [is] the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

Hbr 13:5 [Let your] conversation [be] without covetousness; [and be] content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

I Cr 13;8a

AMEN SISTER! I love people like you. That's what I say, "Stand out of the crowd." Be a leader not a follower, stand for whats right, stand for what you believe. Why be ashamed of it? Who cares? Live life and enjoy it! Why fear of what other think? I wish more people were like that. God Bless! and a star for you!

Answer 7

Yep I will stand up for what I believe in. Like I'm anti casino anti real estate investor anti day trader anti anything that makes theft by the pen and syphons money into rich greedy b_______ pockets for doing virtually nothing at all. I'm pro bricklayers and plumbers and entrepreneurs, doctors and fishermen etc you know the real workers that do real jobs and do the things that matter an not faffing about trying to do money shifting from your pocket into theirs for doing nothing.

Answer 8

I can never stand alone. Peter told Christ he would, and before the rooster crowed he had denied Him three times.

I will stand, but not alone. Without the Holy Spirit I'd cave like a poorly built wall in a tsunami.

Answer 9

Stand alone - but could I be in a crowd so I could laugh, or berate - all the two faced people?

Answer 10

Stand alone.
