The entire book of Joshua came immediately to my mind. I suppose you could also argue for Christ's having come not to bring peace but a sword, although I probably wouldn't interpret it that way myself.In this thread I want to address Get2Chopaa’s war supporting tendencies (since I am not allowed to post in the Christian morality thread).
Can you tell me where exactly in the bible it says “invade the lands of foreigners and plunder and pillage for the profit of you and your progeny” or any such similar message?
Non Christians always have strong views on what Christians believe, which actual Christians tend to disagree with.In this thread I want to address Get2Chopaa’s war supporting tendencies (since I am not allowed to post in the Christian morality thread).
Basically you stated that you would support empire building/war for the USA where it is profitable for them.
Isn’t “thou shalt not kill” one of the ten commandants and one of the most basic tenets of Christianity?
Yet somehow you are advocating USA to invade foreign lands and plunder them for profit so that Americans citizens can be enriched. And somehow your priest is okay with your view?

You aren’t Christian at all you are a complete fraud.
Oh and by the way when people like Francis K. And others keep going on about me looking for a virgin girlfriend instead of a wife it’s the year 2025 and marriage brings significant legal and financial risk for men in the majority of countries.
What benefit do you get out of being married as a man that you don’t get from just having a permanent long term girlfriend? Why take the legal and financial risk if you aren’t being rewarded. You can just get a girlfriend and still behave as a married couple. Technically it is a sin but in the modern era marriage has been perverted to the point where it’s no longer beneficial for men and is a completely one sided arrangement.
And you guys obsess over a detail so minor yet say nothing when someone like Get2Choppaa advocates the USA invading foreign lands for financial profit. Killing is a much greater sin than fornication and yet you mostly all stay silent on the issue.
I've seen others call G2C out for his jingoism. From what I can see, G2C is about as Christian and conservative as your standard fare MIC-funded GOPe politician. Even less so since he outsources his moral and spiritual life to a priest. Since that is blatantly obvious and comes across in every post, I don't see the need to make a spectacle of it. At least with G2C, you know what you're going to get.Killing is a much greater sin than fornication and yet you mostly all stay silent on the issue.

I said I would be more understanding if we were at least honest about what we were doing.In this thread I want to address Get2Chopaa’s war supporting tendencies (since I am not allowed to post in the Christian morality thread).

That's not exactly the translation. It's though shall not take an innocent life is my understanding from speaking with my priest.Isn’t “thou shalt not kill” one of the ten commandants and one of the most basic tenets of Christianity?
No. It's merely my observation that that's what an empire does and we are an empire.Yet somehow you are advocating USA to invade foreign lands and plunder them for profit so that Americans citizens can be enriched. And somehow your priest is okay with your view?
It doesn't and I don't believe it's the Christian thing to do. But you can still separate the reality that wars will always be fought over resources and an Empire will always be looking for ways to expand their influence via military/cultural/economic control.Can you tell me where exactly in the bible it says “invade the lands of foreigners and plunder and pillage for the profit of you and your progeny” or any such similar message?
Well I guess I'll find out when I meet my maker.You aren’t Christian at all you are a complete fraud.
You wouldn't even understand any of that because you're not a religious person.Oh and by the way when people like Francis K. And others keep going on about me looking for a virgin girlfriend instead of a wife it’s the year 2025 and marriage brings significant legal and financial risk for men in the majority of countries.

All sins are sins my boy.And you guys obsess over a detail so minor yet say nothing when someone like Get2Choppaa advocates the USA invading foreign lands for financial profit. Killing is a much greater sin than fornication and yet you mostly all stay silent on the issue.
While that's an incorrect statement....its almost a compliment.I've seen others call G2C out for his jingoism. From what I can see, G2C is about as Christian and conservative as your standard fare MIC-funded GOPe politician. Even less so since he outsources his moral and spiritual life to a priest. Since that is blatantly obvious and comes across in every post, I don't see the need to make a spectacle of it. At least with G2C, you know what you're going to get.
For the third time I have an issue with suspending others in the first place, then in the second place for totally unreasonable time lengths. That is the moderation problem, because it's biased. How could I have the issue? I didn't do the suspending, but I also have been suspended before for disagreeing, and it's not right, it's punishment for disagreeing. If you ask one more time about this it shows me you basically can't read or comprehend a pretty obvious bias, which isn't mine.
then you decided not toBlade I'm going to let this go
The whole art of debating is to pick apart someone's argument point by point. Or are you trying to claim he is nitpicking on minor points while avoiding addressing the core issue? I have personally have not seen him doing that. As BladeRunner insulting people's intelligence he has done that from time to time but he is a lot milder on insults than many other forum members including yourself, Purple Urkel, Get2Chopaa, etc.instead of addressing what someone is saying you will just pick out specific things you can try to attack.

Is fiat moral or immoral? On this hang all the issues, if you don't have the premise that fiat is immoral, it's not like we can go further than that.not just to win the argument any way I can to justify to someone else what is in my own head.

"Win the argument" isn't what any of this was ever about. Those who hold BTC (in the case of the squabble) have already won, been winning, etc. It's like the analogy I've given in the past, a team beats you over and over and the only answer is "but but but" or "you're a religion/cult" or "it won't last" while its the losing team of course that is the one trying to justify, since their position doesn't meet reality.
