    Religious Zealotry

    It really is't. Rather, you're probably referring to one passage in Leviticus and using it as a stable for all law on the matter. Don't live in the Bronze age anymore or communal tribes either. Plenty changed since the OT, not everything sure and nor should it but again, you're like the...

    Religious Zealotry

    It really isn't. So, you wouldn't force them on people, only those who decided to stay? Supposing they couldn't leave? You're only underscoring the point of Pure's OP regarding the dangers of zealotry ran amok and why we thankfully have laws in place that prevent such from coming about. They...

    Religious Zealotry

    Trouble with that is, some of the more ardent zealots think that it's actually loving to impose their beliefs on others and deny them any say so.

    Religious Zealotry

    All too often seen in places like Saudi Arabia and with the resurgence of the Taliban in Afghanistan etc. Places where freedom is a word only and where human rights are an abstract. The only "good" thing with the zealotry displayed under the guise of Christianity here is that the usurping of...

    Religious Zealotry

    As anna has already alluded to, to what degree? Some things are black and white sure. If someone forces themselves on another including in marriage then it's rape. Other things aren't quite so clear cut so I'm reckoning you have shades of grey also. An obvious example being: You're harboring...

    Ukraine is a WWIII powder keg

    Whereas Zerohedge & The Gateway Pundit are veritable bastions of journalistic integrity?! :ROFLMAO:

    The nausea with both was already there so no worries... Now excuse me while I hasten to the bathroom to clean up some vomit that's not quite appeared yet...

    Religious Zealotry

    Homosexuality isn't a crime, simple as. That you think it should be and punishable by death doesn't make it so.

    Religious Zealotry

    No, it's toxic to those who value logic, reason, compassion, empathy and also faith frankly. You've pretty much underlined Pure X's point about zealotry. You would have people enforced to live under your ideal based on your beliefs of how a Godly society should be. So would others in differing...

    Pathetic isn't it? This lot go on about "commies", "left wingers" and yet here they are defending a Russian despot....

    Ukraine is a WWIII powder keg

    It beggars belief not only that anyone is an apologist for Putin but how they can't see how woefully he and his regime have blundered into things with such misplaced zeal and ill warranted confidence. This is an absolute embarrassment for Russia. He most certainly did think that his forces would...

    Ukraine is a WWIII powder keg

    Stupid analogy Jefferson. The Ukraine were posing as much a threat to Russia as a tin of sardines. The excuses some of you make for Putin and his despotic regime is almost jaw dropping.

    Religious Zealotry

    Most of it is however. For example, your ideal of society would be one ruled by a king and one whereby every citizen - regardless of their beliefs - would be ruled under a set of laws that comported with your notion of what should be crimes, correct? You're on record here for stating that...

    Ukraine is a WWIII powder keg

    Do you reckon Putin thought his "special military operation" was going to drag on so long? No credible news outlet is reporting this invasion as a success for Russia's dictatorship as it's been little short of an embarrassment. Months in and Ukraine isn't subjugated but provided and still...

    Ukraine is a WWIII powder keg

    Why do you keep bringing transgenderism into topics that have nothing to do with it and why are you going on about anna in regards to that subject anyway?
