Really. What emotion would you feel if you got home and found a rapist on your wife? What is the logical emotion you should feel? Regards DL

Reciprocity rules say it is. To tolerate those who do not tolerate others is empowering them. It rewards evil with good. One is either for them or aga...

If you think love has no conditions, you are sadly mistaken. That is why you love family and friends more than others. If you do not, you do not know ...
October 12, 2019 at 15:01
Exactly. A negative reality, while our love biases push us to what we see as a better loving reality. Regards DL
October 11, 2019 at 15:40
Which we do not. As to a different and better way to end what Hitler was doing, your wish list does not show it and I will not try to second history. ...
October 11, 2019 at 14:54
You cannot justify hating murderers, rapists, Hitler etc., and allowing your hate to move you against such vile characters. Ok. Hating Hitler and his ...

I find the truth sweet, as I do not think we should live in delusions. There are too many in Socrates' cave. Therein lies the grey area you speak of. ...

One example against this is all I would need to refute your statement. Our governments presently use the tax system to impose poverty. Ghandi and othe...
October 09, 2019 at 13:58
Correct. Yet you deny that it is the feeling of love that creates the hate. Here is science making my point. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LIb22-5L...

True. They knew actions were required and did what they could. You may think they were motivated by something other than hate for the reality they liv...

That is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVivkbmu3To for me. Regards DL
October 07, 2019 at 20:12
I have no problem in seeing the greater good that encloses the small human to human evils that we do to each other. I hope this old O.P. explains this...

How do you like your government using your tax $$ to pay the shortfall created by religious tax exemptions? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7y1xJAVZxX...
October 07, 2019 at 18:20
Exactly the point I want to make. When we create a love bias, we automatically create a hate bias against anuthing that would jepordize that which is ...
October 07, 2019 at 17:46
Ditto. Regards DL
October 07, 2019 at 15:29
Not my problem if you are belligerent and obtuse. Regards DL
October 07, 2019 at 15:25
Not to mention as immoral as they say Satan is. Christians call evil good. Regards DL
October 06, 2019 at 14:48
Perhaps your problem is not seeing that evolution to us is more important than the small evils to those who are less fit. Regards DL
October 06, 2019 at 14:36
Semantics. hate, like love, is a great motivator to action. Regards DL
October 06, 2019 at 14:25
You are reading a lot of garbage into what I put. Hatred has a good side and I never said word one on anti-social behavior, although I think that anti...
October 06, 2019 at 14:22
Never. I see us and nature as evolving perfection, given that we are all living in the best of all possible worlds because it is the only possible wor...
October 06, 2019 at 14:18
So you would have told Rosa Parks to not hate having to sit at the back of the bus nor act on that hate. How about the hate against slavery in the Civ...
October 06, 2019 at 14:14
I did not mention the book. I did a quick scan on the author whom I critiqued. Regards DL

Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people. Eleanor Roosevelt Regards DL
October 06, 2019 at 13:46
Eh, no. Gnostic Christians are unive4rsalists who have tied equality to the righteousness of god. We believe in equality under the law and that is why...
October 06, 2019 at 13:44
No. Enter their names in my, --- too stupid to bother with, --- file. Regards DL
October 06, 2019 at 13:36
I mostly agree with your post but not this part. For starters, you phrase it as a logical fallacy that you cannot prove and second, we are not sure of...
October 05, 2019 at 22:09
I do not have a problem with Christians being idol worshipers, if they admit it. Regards DL
October 05, 2019 at 22:05
Seems not. Regards DL
October 05, 2019 at 22:01
Why do you favor a homophobic and misogynous religion that has it's adherents thinking that a genocidal god is a good god. Here is my motivation. If y...
October 05, 2019 at 22:00
That is the Gnostic Christian Jesus, while the one you do not favor is the Rome created Jesus. Here is how Gnostic Jesus talked. Here is the real way ...
October 05, 2019 at 21:57
Yes. Our all important egos are being spoon fed by our money motivated masters. Regards DL
October 05, 2019 at 21:53
Mostly, yes, but they apply others showing depictions as idolatry or blasphemy so they must be recognizing the depictions as being of their idol. In f...
October 05, 2019 at 21:49
Which is what is definitely forbidden. Regards DL
October 05, 2019 at 21:45
You do not see Christians as seeing god as an ideal. Ok. If god is not their notion of what an ideal god is, what ideal do they put above god? Regards...
October 05, 2019 at 21:29
I could not say what sheeple would do if they had to follow what scriptures say. They never have. But yes, it would certainly be a thing to see. Regar...
October 05, 2019 at 21:26
Good post. Jesus, especially, was aware of this intelligent thinking. That is why he urged us to elect a new god that seemed like him at the end times...
October 05, 2019 at 21:23
They try by making him a male who coveted Joseph's wife for reproduction and god is sure human like by showing that he is a deadbeat dad. Regards DL
October 05, 2019 at 21:14
You have nothing you hold above anything else? Money, family, friends or ideology. Ok. Regards DL
October 05, 2019 at 21:11
ASAP. I have stated that the governments should have a revues and critique of all the religions of our country so as to at least let the people know w...
October 05, 2019 at 21:07
Good points. Christianity and all religions started as pagan. Orthodoxy just says that the pagan religion got bigger and became the mainstream. I do n...
October 05, 2019 at 20:58
Oky dokly, but I can think of nothing more boring. It would be like a perpetual re-run. Regards DL
October 05, 2019 at 20:58
They are to most Christians, Trinitarians and all. Neither are real to me, so I will not argue against your point. Regards DL

She is a stalker if she, like Jesus, tells that baby that it will suffer purposelessly in hell if the child does not love his mother back just so. I d...
October 05, 2019 at 20:51
The author thinks religion comes first and I doubt that I would gain much from her perspective as I have no problem with human to human evil. What we ...
October 05, 2019 at 20:36
We know that this is the best of all possible worlds because it is the only possible world, given our history and physics. As to what is possible, man...
October 05, 2019 at 20:16
Good post. This does not apply to Christians as their bible says that they have no free will. God controls their ability to believe or not. God harden...
October 05, 2019 at 20:04
God is quite good at that, especially when he is doing genocide or infanticide. That prick is not fit to modulate his goodness, if he has any. As to M...
