Hi Stu,
Luke 17:10
So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.

…no matter whether you are commanded to kill people? You would be a very useful automaton in a totalitarian regime. In fact I think that is the role you are playing. The regime is an imaginary one though.

Joh 18:36 Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, then My servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not of this realm.”

Hi Stu,
Obedient trust is a leap of faith.
But we have the written guidelines to check our path.

The Germans had the written guidelines contained in Mein Kampf.

Hi Stu,
Indeed. Following men has always been the easy road.
Then why do you prefer humanism?

Because my moral compass is aligned with justice, peace and happiness for humans and other species.

Why does it have to be difficult?

Hi Stu,
Where did your morality come from?
Did it evolve?

Yes. It is hard wired and modified by the culture of upbringing. It has been that way for humans for 90 times longer than the history of christianity.

Hi Stu,
So the great big melting pot has not coughed up a lot of quality really and we needed a saviour from ourselves.

So your present servitude is all about your hope to rule one day? What a selfish thought. Its all about you?

Hi Stu,
You must be a sad man because negativity is your best offering.
Judgement on my service is not mine or yours to grant.

Are you answering your own posts now Nick?

You can be the judge of human quality if you want. That is what Adolf did too. Your assessment of humanity is so miserable that I don't give it much currency.

Did you mean Hi kj again?

My offering will here will be inherently negative because you believe things that I don't. However isn't it interesting that my view of humans is more positive than yours! Shows you just how anti-human christian fundamentalism really is.

How has that savior improved anything, seriously? Is the world a better place now than before Jesus came? Did not the death of Jesus result in the death of thousands — perhaps even millions — of other people afterwards? Christians killing Jews, Trinitarians killing Unitarians, Catholics and Protestants killing each other…

I'm actually quite joyful. I do have a real life outside of forum you know :;): . This is just a spare time thing as I rarely watch TV.

But you constantly go after me rather than addressing the content of my posts, so you shouldn't feel offended when someone does the same to you.
