Apologetics 301 Guidelines
If you think this is the area where you tell everyone you are sorry for eating their lunch out of the fridge, it probably isn't the place for you
This forum is open discussion between atheists and all theists to defend and debate their views on religion or non-religion. Please respect that this is a Christian-owned forum and refrain from gratuitous blasphemy. VERY wide leeway is given in range of expression and allowable behavior as compared to other areas of the forum, and moderation is not overly involved unless necessary. Please keep this in mind. Atheists who wish to interact with theists in a way that does not seek to undermine theistic faith may participate in the World Religions Department. Non-debate question and answers and mild and less confrontational discussions can take place in General Theistics.

"As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12

If I ever get an enemy, I'm gonna send Darth after 'em.Actually YOU put Trump in the White House. He wouldn't have gotten 1% of the vote if it wasn't for the widespread spiritual and cultural devastation caused by progressive policies. There's no "this country" left with your immigration policies, your "allies" are worthless and even more suicidal than you are and democracy is a sick joke that I hope nobody ever thinks about repeating when the current order collapses. - Darth_Executor striking a conciliatory note in Civics 101

Irrational enmity was nicely explained in the Star Trek episode “Let That Be Your Last Battlefield” (1969). Black/White symmetrical aliens at war. Loving your enemy is about understanding the symmetry you have with your enemy – he is a loving and loved father just like you. If you put yourself in the other guy’s shoes you are better able to assess your own stupidity.“I think God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.” ― Oscar Wilde
“And if there were a God, I think it very unlikely that He would have such an uneasy vanity as to be offended by those who doubt His existence” ― Bertrand Russell
“not all there” - you know who you are

Originally posted by Darth ExecutorIsrael was occupied by the Romans (whom they hated) and there was quite a bit of tribalistic rage going around. Give it a decade or so. When America's overrun by poverty and (more) violent racial strife conditions will be more similar and you'll understand better.
The scary part is we're not even talking about self defense here. You have to holster your punches in situations with people you simply find annoying or dislike?Last edited by whag; 01-31-2014, 09:53 AM.
