Kaybee50: Thank you for clarifying my Faith for me.


There are exceptions of course, Kaybee50. handshake

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!

where do we start acting more skillfully?

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

That shrill noise you hear is not specific to religious folk.

Many of the characteristics attributed to religious people also found in non-religious people. People are people, wholly flawed.

Before finger pointing, we all need to clean up our own house first.

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. wine

actually the Commandment is,"Thou Shalt Not Murder",which means that killing in defense of your life is permissible!

it feels like we make choices but I very much doubt we do, those choices are social expectations which are predictable. .

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.

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.

When free speech and free thinking can't coexist with religion, something goes wrong.
