The last iteration of the moderation discussion thread was a complete disaster. Numerous attempts to keep it on topic fa
Idk if I built the universe and gave people free will to either follow the rules or not follow the rules, I'm not sure what is supposed to be done with the rule breakers.
If anyone is thinking that torturing them for eternity is a reasonable option here, they're a psychopath.

That this would ever even cross a creator's mind is enough to make me never consider worshiping that creator. It's a purely evil concept and I can't believe Christians worship something like that.
You're worried that looking at a statue is bowing down and serving it? I guess if the consequence of being wrong is going to hell, better safe than sorry. The Orthodox Jews call that "building fences" (even without the going to hell part)
I'm not "worried" about it in the least. It would never even occur to me to bow down to a statue. And I don't believe that just looking at a statue necessarily entails bowing down and serving it. It's possible that in ancient times that statues were made for the purpose of worship. That is certainly not the case today.
You can think it's extremely important, but still not know the answer and thus have a strong opinion about whether or not it's ok.

Both of the following are true:
(1) Non Christians and sinners are destined for the eternal fire of hell
(2) No one can be thrown into this hell without their consent
Non believers of the Christian story don’t consent by definition.

One is reminded of the parable of the man with three fish.
A hungry man encountered a stranger on a lonely road. The stranger asked, "why do you struggle thus when you have three fat fish on your string? I have bread. Come sit with me and let us share a feast together." "I could not bear to subject such a perfect thing to the fire," the hungry man replied. "Why, then, do you carry the fish, if not to cook and eat them," the stranger asked again. The hungry man bowed his head, and after a time, looked up and replied simply, "it is a question of consent."

These are ****ing amazing. 😆 😆
I have little need for public statuary unless the statue in question has standalone artistic merit. That said, if you think that removing a statue that memorializes a social injustice from the perspective of the oppressor is a bigger social problem than creating a statue that memorializes a social injustice from the perspective of the person who got the ass end of things, you
very well stated

How about some statues of the people who were victimized by the victims of "police brutality"?
This is a really intelligent gotcha, you must feel very satisfied that you thought of this after only 12 or so hours of deep contemplation. Why don't you tell us more about which of these people you'd like to erect a statue to and why?
It is this type of stunted, sophomoric, binary argument that makes people not believe you are an adult and find you morally horrific and an abomination. . As others have pointed out, no one idolizes Floyd. He is a recognized victim of police brutality and the statutes present the point in history that the us society no longer condones the use of excessive force against a ci
I think we should stop condoning citizens resisting arrest.
I legit don't know what this image means in the context of your comment or whether you are insulting or praising me.
I'm not offended. I'm just confused.
it's a deeply complimentary post saying he wishes most people you typically align with could use reason and logic the way you do
