I'd like to echo Play... Please keep it civil, and please try not to trample on others' most treasured beliefs. Even if you don't agree with me; free will is something not even God interferes with. So give others the space and the benefit of the doubt...

No. I obviously made all that up. There is nothing wrong with out society, everyone is happy and fulfilled, our governments are honest and righteous, people around the world are respectful and welcoming to each other, corporations seek the betterment of humanity sacrificing their own wealth, and God exists and He controls everything, so there is no need to worry. NOT! :tai:

EVERYONE knows, that something is wrong, the world, as it is, is wrong. Maybe you can't really put your finger on it, maybe you can, but fact is, if something smells fishy, its only fair to investigate. If there is a chance for a better future, it's only fair to pursue that chance.

Thank you. I never would've thought, that a religious person would defend me.:amused:
However, I never expected anything less, than hordes of trolls, blind guardians of faith, and apathy. There is very little chance for intelligent discussions in this world, sadly, and today, people won't even give the benefit of the doubt rather they tend to blindly forfeit the chance for change.

:laugh: Nooo, I do not consider myself religious. There's a difference between following Christ and 'religion'. "The letter (of the law) kills, but the Spirit gives life." ... "The father is seeking true worshippers, who will worship Him in Spirit and in truth."

To get a better world, begin with yourself.

And don't even think you're God's gift to the world for having an intelligent conversation with.

It's really cool that Arete is defending you and I agree with her argument about "give others the space and the benefit of the doubt". However, I was re-reading your posts and I think that your text is rather aggressive in the way it is written. It makes it complicated for your reader, who doesn't necessarily think like you, to reflect on your points rather than just get annoyed by it.

So your definition of 'intelligent discussion' is:
Playbahnosh states the facts as he sees them, and we all agree?

No reason to be sorry, you certainly didn't bothered me, your entertainment value is pretty high ranked.
Only a shame it's a bit too easy to blow your wonderfull theories skyhigh.
Maybe you could join
http://www.anarchy-movement.org/forum/index.php
We could use some extra blahblahblah over there.

A last word (now yeah, last, depends ....)
Your deamworld smells like 'A Brave New World', and that's certainly NOT what I want for my children/grandchildren, they ain't vegetables but living, breathing, feeling persons.
Afterall friend, there is nothing wrong with doing some work......
