Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Martin Luther King, Jr. was one of the leaders of the American civil rights movement. King was a Baptist minister, one of the few leadership roles available to black men at the time. He became a civil rights activist early in his career. He led the Montgomery Bus Boycott, helped found the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (1957), serving as it's first president.

That's a lovely quote and so very true but I dont feel that ths tags are in any way representative of the message there - sure Martin Luther King Jr was a Christian but must I too be a Christian or have 'faith' or 'religion' to see the truth in those words?

Best sit down for this news but religions do not have a monopoly on decent human behaviour - take it from a godless heathen 😉 Have a nice day

:)) You are absolutely right! One doesn't have to be a Christian or have 'faith' or 'religion' to see the truth it those words! Which tags would you suggest?

I guess I'm just genuinely bewildered as to why you'd go with Christian or any of those choices but you're quite right to imply that I dont have the inside track on this stuff it just seems as arbitrary to me as a tag like stuffblackguyssaid or famousamericans or quotesfrompeoplewithholidaysnamedafterthem but as youve asked how about tags like

quote
inspirational
morality
ethics

Now im pretty new round here so maybe those tags dont work for good reasons i'm unaware of? Anyway thanks for getting back to me and have a grand day 😊

That is why the Bible says that perfect Love casts out fear, and that perfect Love is Jesus, who gave His life to the rescue of many. Jesus is the greatest representation of Love.
