Yeah right, this thread is misery.
Hell Kitty is being absolutely ridiculous. Pretty dark views. Its "good" to rapists, killers, arsonists and "evil" to victims? There is no perspective. There is good, there is evil, and there is the morally debatable. To put so simple an idiot could understand it, "if you don't want it done to you don't do it to others" which is an extremely broad statement, I know. They're "evil" by both my religion and my moral beliefs. "flames are kewl right?" Srsly, only a moron thinks thats kewl.
Mankind cannot continue when people stop and say, maybe killing isn't evil. Maybe I can stick my **** in someone and its just fine. These are not debatable. PERIOD. Evil. Whats good? Say... saving somebody's life, sacrificing something for good... And good intentions mean nothing. Only the resulting effects. Debatable? Abortion, capital punishment, cloning. But why? Is abortion really killing? Is capital punishment unjust? Is cloning volatile and wrong??
Deadly Nightshade: Same thing. The world has now decided sex outside of marriage is acceptable. No, this also is "evil", obviously not at the level of rape or murder, but evil nonetheless.
Nightandshpae: BENEFITS OF GENOCIDE? Yes, the killers get some land, food, whatever. Maybe they even gain civil rights. The inflicted oppression or discrimination may of been wrong but committing genocide doesn't make things right. Blood doesn't heal wounds. Genocide = . PERIOD.
I am sure a demented Hutu or Sudanese killer thinks they are "doing great honours" but I'm sure they don't want to be hacked with a machete. On the other hand, likely a Tutsi or Sudanese national thinks they're doing right by discriminating and hating in turn, but both sides are wrong.. Goodness is acceptance, love, and caring. I'm not telling them to go have a Chilean pokemon* event, but differences must be thrown down and a greater unity instilled. I guess Hitler thought gassing Jews was enjoyable revenge as well, whereas the Jews thought Christians were radical and needed to be crucified. The kid down the block gave me a wedgie, but I stole his lunch money. Good to somebody and evil to another, evil acts are often done on both sides. Retaliation is not justice. Same day, 1000 years later, whatever. Defense is an acceptable measure but retaliatory violence is not.
Serial killer who kills other serial killers?
Well, evil, but doing good. Leave him well alone, he's a free bounty hunter.
As for cutting sheep tails, if its a hygiene measure, you can suppose its not evil. Then again, you want someone to remove something form your body "because you don't need it"? Maybe. Perhaps you want to donate a kidney. Applying hygiene to your herd shouldn't be thought evil.
But what if that old lady is trying to cross the street so she can rape and burn a kitten?
You gently lead her to the mental hospital.
You have the same junk in these posts as you did talking about Stargate Atlantis, for pete's sake. If there were no god explain this: Where did everything about/in/on/of/with/attached/related/etc of science come from? Where did your special big bang bang from? What convinces you that the universe just exploded on top of itself and the stars and worlds were created?! The thought and supposed evidence of nobody at the wheel is an even greater stupidity than the arguements against faith. You don't practice religion because it is a great explainer or definer such as science can be, you believe from because of faith. Faith is as strong as love, very difficult and complexing at times. However, there is no "evidence" of any god as you scientifics and atheists put it. But the kindness and goodwill of perhaps "so called christians" amidst so much amimosity and global enmities shows even in the event there were no divine being, we are still better than those who have given up or haven't tried faith or are even incapable of understanding it.
Hurlshot: I am Christian, traditionally baptist, but in a non-denomination church now. My church is generally baptist styled.
Any thing else I should respond to?
