Ok, die.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

How desperate for attention one must be to utter such crap?

Seagull is merely an actor spouting lines. Without stunt doubles his action films would be semi-coherent soliloquies.

Quote:On October 10, Russian forces executed nine Ukrainian soldiers who had surrendered in the Kursk region, according to the Ukrainian monitoring group DeepState.
The incident reportedly took place near the settlement of Zelenyi Shlyakh, with the group describing it as a gross violation of international law.
According to analysts, the Ukrainian soldiers believed they were advancing into a relatively secure area but unexpectedly encountered Russian forces. After engaging in a firefight, the Ukrainians, with limited ammunition, surrendered to the Russian troops.
In response, Ukraine’s Human Rights Ombudsman, Dmytro Lubinets, condemned the incident as a severe breach of the Geneva Conventions, which govern the treatment of prisoners of war. “These actions are a flagrant violation of the Geneva Convention on the treatment of prisoners of war,” Lubinets stated on his Telegram channel.
Lubinets further confirmed that official letters regarding the incident have been sent to both the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), calling for accountability for what he described as another war crime committed by Russian forces. “Russia is a terrorist state that disregards all rules and customs of war. The international community must not turn a blind eye to these crimes,” he added.

Quote:Germany will no longer provide heavy combat vehicles to Ukraine, according to reports from the German newspaper Bild, which cites an internal document from the German Ministry of Defense.
The transfer of such equipment, which included Leopard 2 tanks, Marder infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs), and Panzerhaubitze 2000 (PzH 2000) howitzers, has reportedly been completed.
According to Bild, the German Ministry of Defense does not believe Ukraine will be able to conduct a successful counteroffensive in the near future, despite Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s efforts to continue pushing against Russian forces. This perspective comes at a critical time, as Ukraine’s counteroffensive, which began in the summer of 2023, has faced significant challenges, with progress slower than initially hoped.
