| OP you might want to consider studying the art of persuasion. Sometimes the gentle use of persuasive questioning (Socratic method) can be very effective. Fundamental Christians who are verbally attacked will feel persecuted, and it will be impossible to get through to them. Fundamentals are already... |

I saw the underside of that as it went over my head and I still di not get it.
Perhaps it is because I am a Canadian and we do not play fallout here.

| War...war never changes. ] To change war, we would have to change man and that would begin by getting rid of the god above man religions and only allow the man above god religions. We love war way too much and the god religions are war mongers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIQynsWpBpQ https://ww... |

| Hi GnosticBishop, have you read any Krishnamurti? He had a dim view of organised religion. I do not recall the name but will check it out. IMO, local churches, still have a place in some areas today but their usefulness is getting smaller yearly. Some form of organization for those would be helpful... |

| I did not catch your moral position. Where did you land? That question doesn't make sense to me. Something's either true or it's not true. I did not ask if something was true or not. "Did you have an opinion on the moral position of the O.P.?" That was the question. Do you see Yahweh and ... |

| From the first moment that a human baby can recognize the next one as "other," we have the essence of war. True and that is why mods should be as lenient as possible with those who attempt to put arguments forward while coming down hard on those who just throw the eh, more colorful epithe... |

| Did you have an opinion on the moral position of the O.P.? I'd have to give it four levels of analysis. Ground level - people believing BS. Best to make well-articulated points about parts of their books that are anti-human, how they don't serve the best interest of society today, and most importan... |
