Re: The friendship of allies
Open mouth, insert foot here
As opposed to christian faith, where all sins are forgiven, and heavenly reward is given to all who repent? Christian heaven is not a human desire and reward?
Second foot. Both OT and NT written by regular men to have supposedly been inspired by a god. These authors moral agendas also changed from OT to NT, there are many examples of this. But we are hyjacking this thread now. |

Re: The friendship of allies
This is really beyond the pale. Not only is torture illegal according to the United Nations and the Geneva Convention; it is also specifically proscribed by the United States Constitution. Gutwrench’s attitude is fundamentally anti-American--to say nothing of pathological.

If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, its probably not a cow.

Re: The friendship of allies Have you ever been to court? Have you ever been accused of a crime? Do you have the slightest practical experience of any of this? I’ll let you on in a little secret: Even under normal domestic circumstances the chances that someone accused of a crime really committed it are only about fifty percent. When you round up prisoners randomly the chances decrease dramatically. What was a wisecrack? That you don’t consider yourself anti-American? That you want to torture people yourself? That you think prisoners should be tortured? That you don’t believe those accused of crimes are entitled to a fair trial? That you don’t believe in the rule of law? So, whatever it was, it wasn’t supposed to be amusing? Was it supposed to be cute or in any way endearing? Is anything you’ve said in this thread supposed to be anything other than thoroughly reprehensible? |
