I want to find somebody to love whos views I respect on this sort of thing though I find intelligence such a massive turn on and how a person conducts themselves in these threads often says infinitely more than the words they are using - its a really amusing game - anyway, I notice the proliferation of the 'one above you' threads has finall quietened - - haha, famous last words!!!
all my posts are totally selfish and based in self interest, no altruism whatsoever to my personality
to believe or not to believe to worship or not to worship is a choice that everyone makes it is made out of their free will a free will that God has gving to everyone since God does not make anyone believe or worship him no one else has that right to
it is a choice that everyone makes there is not a right nor wrong answer but it is a answer that everyone must make when they make that choice everyone should respect that choice
since the beginning of time mankind has been arguing and fighting over God.maybe it is time for mankind to stop arguing , figthing and killing people.maybe it is time for everyone to admit that everyone has that choice to make,for it is their choice to make.maybe it is time for everyone to respect each other choice as they make it.to admit everyone has a right to believe or not to believe.to worship or not to worship.to live their lives the way they want to.
you are right Trish ...It's just being a Russian couldn't help (by reading those 5-6 millions Jewish people killed in a WWII) to react with an additional always forgotten, by Media and Writting World, deaths. Sorry!
I am lost for words here, I dont want to be right at the expense of not acknowledging how you feel about this. Unacknowledged victims is wrong as you say - there should never have been any - at all - it is all so very sad.
You find intelligence a massive turn on? Why thank you, Trish.
Don't worry; soon I'm going to hit this thread with a big controversial wisdom-bomb that's going to have everyone running for cover or reaching for arms.
Since we are touching on the subject of war and it ties in nicely to religion . . .
Sometimes I wonder you know, Trish, if there IS any other way than war, IF peace is really possible - since 'civilization' so-called IS founded on war. As a rule, the more a civilization it is – that is to say, the bigger - the more war it is founded on.
America simply has to go to war to meet its economic requirements or decline and crash economically. As its economy grows it HAS to feed its growing rate of economic consumption/growth. So, totally hypothetically of course (since this isn’t anything in the way of what might really happen or have happened), say for instance they form . . . something in way of an alliance in the middle east by arming a faction with American weapons to secure huge oil contracts by terms of agreement, that alliance ends up using those weapons (whoa, where did our enemies suddenly get those tanks from?) by blowing men, woman and children apart and to pieces with them. . . and the next thing you know . . . what the?- . . .
BOOM! BOOM!
Two planes are flown into the world trade centres ot of the blue by an 'evil man' for 'no reason' whatsoever – except ‘evil’. Or madness.
Rage maybe, but NOT madness.
You arm my enemies, they blow my woman and children and newborn babies and my people to pieces all around me with your weapons while the world turns a blind eye or has an eye elsewhere!?
Ah, but we know, Trish, do we not, that the reasons go, as it were - BEYOND good an evil?
And we become 'aware' of these reasons or that something in the way of a big reason must be behind such desperate measures of men?
Good and evil, a very interesting concept. Since every side thinks it is the good side, and every side is wrong. Just as every religion thinks every other religion is wrong and all are right.
It's a stuggle for growth, influence and power on all sides, and always has been. It's a stuggle to procure reasources; NEEDS. For growth.
It's called WAR
under whatever guise it may go . . .
And eveything lives by consuming eveything else to survive, live and proliferate . . .
In such a world so constituted . . . how can peace be possible?
