Im a Christian and I believe you are too but I dont understand anything you are saying.
I haven't come here to be coverted or informed about any subject other than West. It's like pubs, the rule is no polotics or religion, and if you don't like it then go elsewhere. I could bang on about environmentalism, consumerism, capitalism, atheism etc. till the cows come home. But this is the wrong place, so I don't. You need to respect that unspoken rule, or lose the respect of everyone on the forum.
injustcie? your the one insulting people!!!
I'm not really concerned about respect. I'm concerned with the harmful philosophies that are being preached here.
It's our God-given duty to stand against injustice wherever it may be found and that rule is much greater than that of terrified silence to preserve the social order.
thanks, i was just so annoyed my fingers swelled and i hit all the wrong keys. [/sarcasm]
If you are joking it aint funny as the junk in your character's head gets people killed and leads to deluded ignorance and misery for others.
OK, you don't understand mutual respect and shared codes of social behaviour, so how we respect your wisdom. I'm not holding out for an intelligent, reasoned anwer btw.
Your sort of religious extremist really is the dangerous sort, no matter what denomination or religion. You won't do your religion any good, only give what can be a wise and enlightening belief system a bad name through dogma, ignorance and pig headedness.
Those who ask you to stop, those who ask you don't pray, those who may be of a religion where every word you say offends them. Satanism, Scientology, Atheism, Nihilism, etc. Hey, if we're all equal and can choose our own paths, why do you try so hard? Why do you speak against such people if that is what they truly believe in?
Good to know you'll be in prison for your beliefs.
I've raped, been raped, and watched others get raped. At a young age, against consent, yeah, didn't really cross my mind as the best thing until I had calmed down. Really, I just look at it with a shrug of disinterest and consider the rapist and the victim players of a quite dangerous game.
Mid-twenties, actually. And I can't say I haven't. However, you can't really defend that position when kids are starting to look more and more like adults with all that make-up, jewlery, tattoos and unshaven faces and overall appearances of their bodies. It really isn't safe anymore without asking for an ID, which is extremely hard to fit into a conversation. Even then, you're still taking a risk.
You obviously haven't seen the four year olds prancing around in eyeshadow and drag looking like midgets. Even I believe that four is too young an age in respect of understanding the general knowledge needed. Hey, who's to say that you can't find a little boy or girl like that, who has had sex, didn't think much of it then, and doesn't think much of it when they are a fully grown adult, and acts as normally as the next person, you've broken quite the record. In any case, to be that young, you probably wouldn't remember, and if you did, it wouldn't affect you, because you didn't understand it then, and wouldn't understand how you'd have felt had you known what you knew as an adult.
I do not think it is healthy. I do not think it is wrong, either.
Where is the abuse? Where is the unequality? Are you saying you cannot treat your partner with kindness, sexually or otherwise? Are you saying you cannot hold your partner to your own level, who puts faith, love, and care into the relationship, who values one another unconditionally? Who knows full well the consequences?
You can have no communication without respect, Unless you respect people you can not truly understand what they are saying. If you do not hear me then we can have no communication, only preaching. Through communication can understanding be obtained, not preaching, instructing, domination (of any description) or by laws which create a terrified silence to preserve a social order.
So does this mean my Loki worshiping ass is gonna end up in your christen hell?
Boy I hope so! I'm packed and ready to go. See, Opens travel bag, Marshmellows, hotdogs, all the stuff for smores, and a giant whoopee cushion for poor old Light Bringer. After all he REALLY needs more laughter in his life. Or is that After-life????
OH COME ON. RIGHT THERE. WHAT THE HELL? YOU CAN'T SEE IT WITH YOU OWN EYES?
Treating other people with decency and not harming them. Loving them as we love ourselves - this would not have an effect on the level of violence or misery?SaltineJesus said:Living decent, loving lives and doing good works as guided by one's Inner Light is the aim of Quakers. Not all subscribe to the same ideas (not all are even Christian!) but, in general, this is the idea of the faith. This is why it is not incompatible with science or other religions.
If you are joking it aint funny as the junk in your character's head gets people killed and leads to deluded ignorance and misery for others.
SaltineJesus said:If people listened to what I was actually saying and practiced it then killing and misery would be significantly lifted from this world.
The law is unjust in many ways, and sometimes is the complete opposite of what you believe in.

If someone is truly happy or truly believes in doing such a thing, leave them be. It's up to the majority of society to 'deem it wrong' and take him to Texas to be hit over the head with a brick.

Black Jack said:How many tax dollars do you spend on those theories that are obviously biased and/or bribed to be said aloud?
Black Jack said:Yeah yeah. Because obviously when a child reaches a certain age, SURPRISE! They're instantly able to think for themselves. Ahh, what a strange occurance; I wonder how that happens.
I didn't say you on this forum, I said religious exremists (you?). All religios thinking that refutes scientific understanding is, by its nature, against reason. I don't want to know....
