Re: Atheism
God and religion are my measure. If that's true then why fixate on Christianity? Judaism and Islam, the other two Abrahamic religions, never come up with you. Any God or any religion that allows mere mortals to connect the dots between moral commandments on this side of the grave and immortality an...

Re: The USA and Israel
you can't do somebody dirt by camping on a piece of ground they didn't even claim to own, so it's hard to see what the moral issue can even be. Trappers and such often trekked out into the territories and wintered in unclaimed (as far as they knew) areas. They'd build rough shelters -- far more sub...

Re: Atheism
Again, all of this "serious philosophy" being exchanged when the bottom line for Christians is and always will be that unless AJ and henry and all the Atheists here accept Jesus Christ as their personal savior, they can kiss being saved goodbye. Why is Christianity your measure? Why not J...

Re: The USA and Israel
Aboriginal North Americans HAD no conception of land ownership. In the legal sense, you're right. But me & age (and phyllo, I guess) are debating the moral claim. I'm told, age, I'm a thief becuz my plot was, at some point, stolen (no doubt multiple times) from others. I contend I am not a thie...

Re: The USA and Israel
You don't remember that it was stolen from the Indians? Who'd they swipe it from? Does that make a difference? Are you saying that if the Indians stole it from someone then it was okay to steal it from them? Oh, you were makin' a serious point. Okay... I didn't steal any land. As I told skepdick, m...

Re: The USA and Israel
Can you "henry quirk" really still not yet see that when you decide to 'take' another's life, liberty, and/or so-called property for whatever reason you have decided to, even under some sort of claimed 'defense', then this makes all of 'this' relative? Can you, age, really not see that yo...

Re: The USA and Israel
When a parent states and/or claims, 'This is my child I can do what I want to them'. This is an example of someone prepping to violate his child's natural rights. Parents parent , not own children. Or, when you vote for another, who can then so-called and so claimed 'rightfully' treat you as they c...

Re: The USA and Israel
Now, as for how to get the eight or so billion individual human beings, which you speak of here, to share, then this is extremely simple and easy. Then it should be extremely simple and easy to explain, yes? Please do. For example, what is to be done to a man who does 'touch' or 'takes' another one...

Re: The USA and Israel
'share' 'the world' with every one else. How do you propose to teach or convince 8 billion or so individuals to share ? Do you still want to insist that taking the life of another, by blowing the head off of 'a body', is acceptable and justifiable if 'that one' just, for example, touched the believ...
