This is just part of the "never admit your wrong or concede a point" tenure from some regulars and it is becoming rapidly boring.
This--> "At the exact moment that a person is willing to trade their life for change....it's justifiable."
Is stupid. It's wrong. It fails every test of critical thinking and moral thinking. Now, if the people here are so vacuous that they will spend ten pages trying in vain to defend the indefensible, what hope do you think there will be of having any reasonable discussion with this type of person?
If god was real he wouldn't need middle men to explain his wants or do his bidding.
