you've failed to provide anything that hasn't already been said by every other christian trying to convert the world.
Quote: you are over complicating the moral question. each situation is a case by case and it is simple. you see a situation in which A) you have a choice to make B) you have the power to make a difference and C) it affects some one else then you ask your self "how would i want to be treated in this situation?". After that you follow that guide. No moment is the same as the last or the next and so no absolute morals or choices exist. Reality is not the past or the future it is that moment. If it is anymore complicated than that then all you are doing is just making one more case of why we should "be christian". instead of challenging us and yourself to be better people in this world.And appearently you still havn't figured it out.
If you are not willing to look at the past then how can you know if you are setting yourself up to make the same mistakes again?
Quote:I'll post a question to you. given the guide lines i just put up can you give me a situation where this simple plan would not work? remember to work in this time frame that we live in.In the present.
We live in a society dependent on slaves.
We slaughter babies by the billions
We are in the middle of a holy war, that only chance of winning is genocide. (As we will never win hearts and minds.)
So my turn. tell me where your philosphy could work. If you say the present then first resolve the problems i presented.
