I’m not quite sure I understand the nature of your ad hominem attack. Are you sayign that because I didn’t produce, or conduct, the research myself that’s it’s inadmissible? Or, are you saying that the book I suggested, by a world renowned researcher, isn’t enough for you? I don’t get what you’re saying. You need to clarify.
Again, I don’t get what you’re arguing here. What do I need to finish? What “to-the-point direction or answer” are you looking for? What am I missing?
You’re arguing that love of a mother comes from some deity! I’m asking you, which deity? Which god does it come from? You aren’t answering my question!
Yes…now we get to the heart of the question: Why would I care about someone else for nothing in return.
Because, as a human being, this life is all we have. There is nothing after. My life is precious to me and I know that everyone else’s life is precious. It’s called sympathy and being empathetic. I do it, because I want to. I do it because I hope to set an example so others do as I have done. No deity involved, just rationality.
I’m not forcing anyone to be caring towards me, nor am I expecting it. I’m hoping to set an example. There is a difference. Again, no deity involved.
BINGO!!! Someone give this person a cigar!!!
The world is subjective and open to interpretation. That’s the thing about life, it’s more gray than black and white.
I had a conversation this weekend about the execution of a terrorist in India, Afzal Guru. My antagonist believed it was not only right, but it was delayed. I argued that any killing is wrong, but especially soemthing like this. All it shows it that ‘civilized’ societies can revert to the stone ages when provoked enough. It showed that people are capable of the same violence that took Afzal Guru to the gallows. Which one of us is right and which is evil?
As for the spy agency thing…I’m not even going to give you a counter argument. I think you’re intelligent enough to know your point is invalid.
