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. You'd make a great Islamist, then... :wink: They think that peace could be achieved by killing all opponents. But that's more &quo...

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. How does one go about obtaining peace? At this point in world affairs, I'm not sure how to de-escalate things from wh...

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...

Re: What is tolerance?
The programs which teach sex stuff to very little children are all aimed at making sure the children know to speak up if an adult is doing something wrong with them. Better look up some of those videos. You couldn't be more wrong. It would be even better to be able to examine the material you are c...

Re: What is tolerance?
No, you don't actually owe me anything. It's just that I suspected you weren't being honest,.. That was your uncharitable suspicion, then. And the truth is, if you cared, you'd have found out you were wrong already. But you blocked my attempts to find out. I told you where to look. If you think I'm...

Re: What is tolerance?
You publicly made an allegation,... I've "alleged" nothing about you, and owe you no more. Sorry. No, you don't actually owe me anything. It's just that I suspected you weren't being honest,.. That was your uncharitable suspicion, then. And the truth is, if you cared, you'd have found out...
