You can easily have your vengeance on them by not having sexual intercourse with them. Otherwise... I have a fake male profile.

Humanists will point out that our ways do not affirm life as a practical matter, but this is a side effect, not a direct effect. Take for example a hero who saves the life of someone, but unfortunately dies for having saved that someone. Their death is a side effect of having been heroic. It was not the intention. Humanists do not regard intentions as significant. It does not matter if the intention was good or evil. On the other hand intentions matter to God. Humanists seek only results without the airy fairy uncertainty of intention or faith.

Do they not have that expression about the ends not justifying the means where you come from? Utilitarians (who tend to be humanists) try to live by that one.

Why does the Old Testament condemn women as evil? It concerns risk aversion. Women are naturally risk averse, but also for this reason they do not comprehend such notions such as justice as readily as a man would. Women are consumers of justice, not its creator. Justice cannot be brought into existence by the risk averse.

It is good that you should disagree with me for in this God shall bring justice.

It should be plain to see from the story of Christ that God is not risk averse. Hence, God is not a woman.

God would risk his reputation on a people such as the Jews.

God is not a coward. God is the ultimate Hero and embodies all that which is Heroic: God Hero. In His Heroism He is mighty.

He's a figment of your imagination.

God respects the Heroic. In this I am a living testament to the One True God. Though no doubt some would find what I say much too extraordinary to be believable. Such are the miracles of God.

It seems that in order to walk in the ways of God one must assume the most improbable position possible. Then, it is for you to make it stick.

BenevolentM -> RE: Why should we preserve Iran (11/8/2012 12:00:05 PM)
Take the Jews for example. Iran says it is improbable that the Jews are The Chosen People. Iran is in a state of disbelief. Surely, this cannot be true. It is, however, for the Jewish people to make the assertion stick for these are the ways of God.

Lord, you have got to be kidding.

Were these not the words of King David?

At one time I was given an offer by the devil that I summarily refused. The devil offered three things in exchange for my cooperation. All I had to do was do nothing in much the same manner that the President did nothing. I was in the presence of God. I sided with God. According to humanism the correct choice would have been to side with the devil.

Was it down in Georgia?

BenevolentM -> RE: Why should we preserve Iran (11/9/2012 7:17:34 AM)
If I had given my cooperation I would have made someone who I cared about a human sacrifice. What I was offered by the devil on the other hand was substantial. Not on my watch. I stood as firm as stone. Glory be to God Most High.

Humanism says be weak: Accept the bribe.

BenevolentM -> RE: Why should we preserve Iran (11/9/2012 7:35:40 AM)
Be reasonable.

BenevolentM -> RE: Why should we preserve Iran (11/9/2012 8:16:55 AM)
Is not the cornerstone of humanism to be reasonable and cooperative not in a virtuous sense, but in an extreme sense? What is important to humanism is results; it is ok to sacrifice one for the benefit of the many.
