After all, they were not innocent, they were guilty of being Jewish and that was a crime in Nazi Germany. I am glad we disagree on this issue.Well, somebody has to turn them in Statler, they killed fucking jesus!
The minute I mention a criminal on the run you can't help but godwin? No worries, I'll run with it. You would shelter that nazi that worked the gas lever when he went on the lamb from allied troops, right?

Where did I say it was relevant to the weight of your criticism? I simply said you’d be well served by acting more like an adult, and you would. Your criticism is absurd for other reasons.
Meh, I've been pretty well served by just being myself Stat. Vulgar, irreverent - quick to snap at any joke opportunity - no matter how childish or silly. My criticism is in no way absurd, and you've been unable or unwilling to address it.

Perhaps if you’re criticisms were legitimate, but they’re not.
Standard chanting. Your verse -explicitly- shows that collaborating with the spies of a given organization would win you favor with that organization - nothing more. That's whats -explicit-, in that verse. It has nothing to do with the morality (objective or otherwise) of lying...and your little godwin demonstrates in a wonderful way why it doesn't even have anything to do with hiding people from those who would do them harm. What you invested that verse with would be what you would hope to -imply-, that somehow sheltering -good- people from -bad- people can make deception or lying justifiable when it is otherwise not kosher. The trouble is that even in the verse, they were spies - whether or not they were good people is entirely subjective. Those they were spying on probably wouldn't have shared the unspoken bit of nonsense you apparently hoped to slip by. I, like you, would shelter those I felt were good from those who I felt were bad, but I'm not ignorant enough to point to this verse or proclaim that it's somehow part of some objective morality.
Fail, welcome back.
edit - Oh, and I almost forgot, you do realize that none of that shit actually happened, right? What would one of my posts to you be without mentioning that...eh?
