Re: Faith: Difficult but Necessary?
I don't want to steal your line, but we'll see. 🙂 Oh, I see...you're itching for me to bring the "G" word into the conversation, and then you get to say, "You see? He's obsessed!" The problem is that nothing was going that direction until you just pushed it there. Ironic, that. ...

So you think the UN is going to remain, and will somehow become effective and moral, but that Biden has to go?

Re: Faith: Difficult but Necessary?
What is your strategy for achieving peace? Assuming that you care about it. I'm interested in Gary's. He's the one who started this ball rolling. Maybe his will be better than anything I could come up with. Let's find out. I posted what I think will bring peace. You replied to it but left out that ...

Re: Faith: Difficult but Necessary?
I have one but I doubt people would like it: The complete destruction of all life on earth. You'd make a great Islamist, then... :wink: They think that peace could be achieved by killing all opponents. But that's more "pacification" than peace...it's a quietness born of death and destruct...

Re: Faith: Difficult but Necessary?
I'll put my cards on the table right now; I don't have a strategy for peace. I have one but I doubt people would like it: The complete destruction of all life on earth.

Re: Faith: Difficult but Necessary?
"Peace" is a noble goal...but if it's really noble, does it not deserve some possible strategy for achievement? Or are we going to be content with wishing upon a star, and never bother to consider how the thing might actually be reached? If that's where we stop, just how much do we actual...

Re: Is morality objective or subjective?
This is the one part of my previous post that you ignored: But I didn't make you. That is not the issue. I predict that you will bury your head in the sand and pretend it is, but for the third time: I'm not suggesting there is any coercion from your God... I have little doubt that you will continue...

Re: Faith: Difficult but Necessary?
That is my suggestion. If peace is something that is wanted, then that's probably what it will take. Would you suggest the opposite? I wouldn't think anybody's "suggestion" was likely to change anything at all, actually. I would think that was a case of having a wish, but no plan to make ...

Re: Faith: Difficult but Necessary?
At this point in world affairs, I'm not sure how to de-escalate things from where they currently are. However, if/when we get past the present situation, I suggest nations not start wars. So...you're just going to make the suggestion, and nations are all going to listen, and are going to stop makin...

Re: Faith: Difficult but Necessary?
Do the winners write history or does history favor those who deserve to win? I suggest peace is a viable and necessary route to save humanity from ourselves. Let's say you're right.

Re: What is tolerance?
It would be even better to be able to examine the material you are complaining about, but as you won't tell us what it is, how can we? You're starting to sound pathetic. You mean you've miraculously lost your ability to Google? Google, what are the books that IC has deemed to be perverted? Sad. :cr...
