토론 Article: Christ and War-- A Delicious 토론

posted by chloeregister

I was wondering something. What do 당신 people think? Is war really neccesary? In my own opinion, I think it is not.
My religion is Christian, so, duh, I believe in God! Well, if 당신 don't then maybe... ah never mind! I think God put everyone on Earth for him. He wants people to live for God and get along with each other to score Heaven. Hell is only worthy if 당신 do not fufill God's commands.
In the harsh struggle to live in WAR, people are killing others.
I am NOT a hippie, but I believe war is murder and thanks if 당신 are in the service for risking your life for America, but 당신 are also risking God's trust in which 당신 kill someone else, thou shalt surely pay the eternity in the Devil's Hell.
C'mon, nations. Just because LONG 이전 we found our new turf doesn't mean 당신 can kill the innocent! I am willing to protect the innocent. I was thinking, offensive war is just killing. Defensive is not shooting, but blocking death from yourself and friends.
It is just NOT RIGHT for people to go about death just because some tough five-star drunken man tells them "drop and give me twenty."
Sure, I'm passionate about patriotic stuff, but I'm not subscribing to the war thing.
Countries should be getting along, eventually 당신 shall because... Adam and Eve are your deep grandparents somehow. Same with the people 당신 are fighting. Get along, your related, every one. Just in comments, speak your mind so I can see everyone else's points of view and take it from there. Thank 당신 for your noble time, I appreciate the effort.

chloeregister Hello Christians -or not- and please, what is your opinion on the harsh basics or warbound world?

K5-HOWL War is stupid but remember it was Christianty(Sorry If I spelled that wrong) who started wars in the name of God.

djlee6 It's unfair to blame the creation of war on Christians, but war was created in the name of God. And when God was no longer a good enough reason-even though it is still the main reason-we had to come up with others: oil, land, food, law, freedom... I do agree that was is not needed, but even without war, men still draw the blood of other men. For the Christians, they believe that things like war, murder, theft, and rape exist because if people didn't do bad things, the haman race would not know what was bad or sinful. I don't agree with the statement, but I do agree that we need the bad things in life as well as the good, or else we end up taking everything for granted. Clearly war does have some purpose if we allow oursleves to learn from it.

harold djlee6, how was war created in the name of God? Do you mean some wars were started in God's name? Please be more clear. How is God the main reason for war? Of the nine wars (by the UN definition) currently being fought in the world, do you know how many are being fought in God's name, or even for religious causes? [i]None.[/i] (1) Even the Israeli and Palestinian conflict (not officially a war) is being fought primarily for political, not religious, reasons. I think it's sad that you may be able to find Christians who would agree with the statement that you attribute to Christians, as it is completely contrary to Christian belief and doctrine. By my understanding of Christian doctrine, "things like war, murder, theft, and rape exist" because everyone is a sinner. Thus people commit evil deeds regardless of whether they have knowledge that it's good or evil. I, too, believe that war is evil, just as adultery is evil, lying is evil, striking another person in anger is evil, and changing lanes in a car without signaling is evil. Unfortunately, none of these things will ever stop happening altogether. 1 - If you believe the rhetoric from the Yemeni government, which states that the rebels are fighting to take over the country and instate Shi'a law, then you could argue that one of the wars is being fought for religious reasons, at least in part. The rebels do not claim this, however.

An Intellectual Exchange of Ideas

When I created this spot nearly a 년 ago, my intention was to create a 포럼 for the respectable exchange of ideas among educated individuals. To my great excitement, I got exactly that: multifaceted individuals who knew where they stood but were curious to learn about others and make their own ideas known. There were the occasional people who would refuse to listen and only talk, and there were the occasional users who would refuse to acknowledge a good point against them. But over all, I've enjoyed our lively discussions.

For a time, the 토론 spot was lacking in any real "debate." There...

"Let America Be America Again:" An Analysis of Hughes' Dialog And Its Relevence Today

posted by Cinders

Langston Hughes, February 1, 1902 – May 22, 1967

Let America Be America Again 의해 Langston Hughes

Let America be America again.
Let it be the dream it used to be.
Let it be the pioneer on the plain
Seeking a 집 where he himself is free.

(America never was America to me.)

Let America be the dream the dreamers dreamed--
Let it be that great strong land of love
Where never kings connive nor tyrants scheme
That any man be crushed 의해 one above.

(It never was America to me.)

O, let my land be a land where Liberty
Is crowned with no false patriotic wreath,
But opportunity is real, and life is free,
Equality is in the air we breathe.

(There's never been equality...

Excerpt: A Republican Veteran Tells A Stranger About the War

posted by Cinders

This is an excerpt from a not-so-short story I wrote a while back (Kegel, 당신 ought to recognize it pretty fast). The character of Simon is heavily based on a man I met randomly at my college one year, and the views expressed echo some of his thoughts almost exactly. The story about the girls and the bar and getting kicked out is a true story he told me. Anyways, I just thought I'd share that opinion here, for the sake of perspective.

From Salam (Rated PG-13-- you've been warned)

Simon held his breath before letting out a long sigh. “Before I went overseas, I can’t say I was much unlike our...
