Ärende: FOOD-FIGHT!!
====================
 
->  Of the many religions in this world (As those who no longer exist)
-> 

->   
-> JW> True. Christians are diverse, and always have been...
-> 
-> Either you're falling from your own platitudes or you're paying them a 
-> compliment.  Which was it?
->
Only two choices? :-) 

lease give me an example of one (or some) of my platitudes...

To anwer your question : neither.

 
-> 
-> Not a chance.  Tell me where it is written that if I call someone a 
-> moron that I have violated some religious pretext. Especially if the 
-> 'bright guy' has it coming.

You have violated scientific exactitude. :-)

'Judge not that ye be not judged' ?


-> 
-> JW> Something.
-> 
-> Yes, criticism of your beliefs.  Tell me about the 'something' you were
-> referring to.  I don't think I've seen it around here.

Stay tuned :-)

Critisism of your believes is a challenge, and promotes inner contemplation
and perhsaps change, modification, or deeper belief. Your choice.
Oh.
You also have the choice of flaing out, insulting others beliefs which
has little if any benefit to snyone, especially yourself.
 
-> JW>  'watching them implode' is a personal assesment
-> JW>  not shared by the ...uh...'imploded'
-> 
-> Sort of like the Germans who believed they were still winning the war
-> all the way up until we dropped bombs on Berlin.

A stretch:-)

There are probably 10,000 (more!) religious beliefs...half of which
probably
contradict the other half :-)
  
-> MC>  You should then see who it is that comes off
-> MC>  with the foul remarks and insults first...
-> 
-> JW>  It dosen't MATTER who 'was first' 
-> 
-> Yes it does. I will fight fire with fire whenever I see fit and let
anyone 
-> try to show me where I have violated any religious or moral precept,
-> without putting forth their own.

Fighting fire with fire is not the same as insulting an 'insulter'.

   And from what precept where you just 
-> 'speaking' to me from?  If you're gonna take a stand you better have
some
-> sort of leg to stand on...

Well, off hand:
God is love.
Love one another (I think if you can't do that, you don't love yourself)
Judge not.
By fruits you will be known.

...but that is just from he Bible...



 (Unlike some armchair critics who sit and point 
-> a finger from afar.)

You stand up when you post? :-)


-> Actually, you've been, uh, 'not so ultra', but if you have any "clues"
-> that weigh in on these matters, let's hear them.  Isn't that what this 
-> conference is set up for?  ie.Religious and theological discussion? 

-> (Or Religious v.theological discussion.)  Sometimess I get the
impression
-> that this is the FOOD-FIGHT! conference. 

Sometimes it devolves into that...


if there is anything we can learn (that is relevant) from science, 
and the cosmos is a fundimental LAW: The law of opposites...
Intimations of this in the Tao Teh Ching (Taoism)(and elsewhere of course) 
...
Physics teaches us that for every particle in the universe, there is
an anti-particle.
The univers screams this at us from many directions.

Some religions equate this to the opposition of good vs. evil.

I differ: I do not believe there is 'evil'! Evil is an invention of man, an
early attempt to Explain Things by those exiled in the dispersion...bad,
bad snake.
I believe there is good (knowledge) and its opposite, ignorance.
Not, of course original with me, it's was clearly pronounced by Socretes
(Plato)

THAT, for starters...:-) Much more if you evince interest...
