My spider comments was not intended as criticism, rather more so simple example. I to have engaged in killing, causing harm to others etc, at what point of view do we stop our observations in examining truth or if you like meaning, or life's most useful human activity.
Proclaiming nothingness as atheists appear to me to be adhering to places like view into same league as religion.
All beings that have mind and fear death even if they are causing harm to others have the potential to move beyond those sort of activities. The notion we have a right and implement control populations of any sort has its interdependent's. Equal and Opposites, Cause and Effect whatever which-way we contemplate our old habitual activities of harming others
Kaybee50: Please send me your address and I shall FedEx a package of Missouri brown recluse spiders to you...and then we can continue this conversation.
Plenty of creatures including spiders that can cause us harm here in Australia. Try a soft broom and shack the spider outside, perhaps the words thy shalt not kill escaped your observations in the book of dribble

Thank you for enlightening me on the Ten Commandments.
I shall keep that in mind next time I am bitten by a brown recluse in my sleep, or hidden in my shoe, and have to have my lower leg amputated or risk death.

actually the Commandment is,"Thou Shalt Not Murder",which means that killing in defense of your life is permissible!
yeah, everybody has a right to defend there life, lot different just mindlessly killing others, creatures humans whatever, biggest thread to human and creatures well-being is without doubt is human activity most driven by flawed deluded concepts expressed in religious uttering's that people blindly follow
here is what I think about free speech...it depends on who you are talking too...seems everyone has rights now days but "religious" people...can't tell you my thoughts without a sudden shoot down on how wrong I' am....so there you have it, Christianity is being the mock and persecution of today...however, it will be the victor

speech is a tool but tools can also be used as weapons.as much as how our hands can touch things, or we can used them to make signals. here, and anywhere, you are free to tell your thoughts!
for me “freedom of speech” is not just the right not to be silenced, or want to listen. it's about showing respect towards one another and not shoot out negatives comments.... i am sure here, you are free to say what you want. also to ignore who you dont agree, or dont respect your beliefs.
AgentAjax: I have noticed unless your opinions are within current beliefs system threads vanish. What happened to free speech and free thinking? Is the society going to end up as robots been controlled by robots? Im over been controlled are you?

Free speech? Well you don't believe in it, oh well only if you agree with the content that is. You are like so many others, "I agree with free speech, BUT" blah blah blah...
You want free speech for yourself, but you will quickly help take down someone else's comments if you don't agree with them.

There are exceptions of course, Kaybee50.
I just tend to think of the young-earthers, literalists, and the shrill folks who make the news and seem to want a theocracy and so forth!
