Now you are doing the same thing, projecting your own personal beliefs and principles onto everyone else. Actually it's quite normal, everyone who has some affliction tries to claim that everyone else has that same affliction, it helps to make than feel normal.Greatest I am wrote:I am sure that some Americans did understand that the good of the many outweighed the good of the few.

During a Bible study many years ago someone asked what Uriah was thinking and one gentleman applied modern concepts and declared that he must have been pissed off, when in truth men of that time felt it was an honor to serve the king, no matter what was asked of them.

During WWII Americans couldn't understand the Japanese kamikaze mentality, American soldiers wanted to live so that they could keep fighting. The deliberate act of suicide was beyond their scope of thought except in the most extreme circumstances.
Let us look at the ancient courts of law.
Were they trying hard to punish the guilty and not the innocent?
Like today, yes they were, so how can you say that it is a mistake to apply modern ideas and thoughts to ancient people.

I guess the "Golden Rule" is just somebody's paraphrasing, huh, and it's not even from the book of Revelation, so it doesn't count for anything anyway.Greatest I am wrote:Using google is handy.bobevenson wrote:Would somebody please tell me where I can find "Golden Rule" in the Bible, or is this just part of your wishful thinking?

Seems you are saying that you would deny a good friend respite from his lose of hope and hate of life, --- and leave him to suffer.
You would not kill a crippled horse who had no chance of recovery.
I would go the other way I think and show mercy.

I was just basing comments on the linked scene.
I saw the actor from the clip in Sometimes A Great Notion, which is a movie based on the The Great American Novel.
I'd love to ignore you, but your ridiculous threads demand a response, and particularly this one that is so stupid you were compelled to repeat it verbatim under the same title. Now tell me, how sick is that?Greatest I am wrote:You just cannot think for yourself at all can you.

I do not recall watching that movie but think some of the older movies made us think more than the ones today.
