OT: The Passion of the Christ movie

This thread is nearing the point where someone may be forced to show their wrath and erase all of the unchosen which sully the world which is forum. (threads which are OT)

For if it does make the world unfriendly to those who have sought it out for its declared purpose, only to find it a den of iniquity, then it too shall fade from the world.

If I believe there is no God... There's no such thing as absolute right and wrong.

"God" is not needed to have morality.

He specified a specific sub-class of ethics; the absolute variety. As unproveable fundamental assumptions are unavoidable, some form of authority/authoritative document that is totally trusted (divine) is required for that sub-class - else, when someone recognizes and disagrees with one or more of those fundamental assumptions, there isn't anything that can be said.

I'm not going to qoute the whole thing. I will simply say that our missionaries are instructed to go away if told to and that free will is an essential beleif of my religeon and that I will never force my beleif's on anyone, simply state them and disagree with what I beleive are people's misconceptions. If you tell me to never bother you with my religeos beleif's again, I will, to the best of my memory, never bother you with my religeos beleif's again. A forced conVersion means nothing.

We've had off topic threads before that have been heated, still most is read before an answer is written and sometimes it's a debate instead of just stubbornly pointing out one's opinions, and for us who just read the thread it's interesting.

I don't think shrapnel should go in and participate in a thread and then delete it if they aren't happy with the content as long as it's not open racistic or plain stupid.
(but yes, after reading through this thread I too can see that it has touched upon both those criterias

And perhaps this particular thread is closing in on the deletion point...)

We at the SEIV forum have traveld the OT road before and with much more heat. All the people that went on this road are still here and still talking to one another so I see no need to cut this one road short.

Freduk I see you're from the netherlands. Next time you're in Amsterdam I suggest spending a few hours in the Anne Frank Museum- Hopefully that will be enough to make you think twice about taking action sections of your community based on their religion.
