It's the wool that tickles you.

Fear and hate are not useful states of mind.

This is exactly the problem I have with anybody who uses such rhetoric. They are ENCOURAGING people to hate. Hate what? Hate WHAT I TELL YOU TO. The minute a person, group, or government gets to make the rules about what you are supposed to hate and reject, you get charming social exercises like the Holocaust and Rwanda. You also get silly perversions of religious philosophy and produce stuff like the Shakers or the Mormons. And eventually you get Dubya, who by the same logic can tell an entire country that if you do not agree with his agenda then you are "Against Freedom/Pro Terrorist" and must be hated by Real Americans.

All I know is that I find it fun driving through the boonies of Alabama and seeing all the church billboards... both the ones outside the churches and the big advertising boards along the highway.

I was thinking he meant an actual advertising billboard. They're very common down here in Texas.

Here in Central FL we get a lot of nutty church billboards.
As for me, don't believe in evil and hate is poison to be avoided at all cost.

Should be simple given that hate doesn't exist any more than evil. Well, that depends on your definition of evil I guess, but I'm sure it can be rationalized away.

Evil is debatable, but not hate. The World is full of hate, often irrational, but it's there.

I don't think I understand exactly what you mean.
Could you expand on that a little?

I don't see any possibility of a rational argument that hate doesn't exist. Maybe that it shouldn't, or that it's not logical, but to deny it exists is whistling in the dark.

9th Engineer · 08-22-2006, 09:48 AM

I was saying more that both hate and evil do exist in this world, but the sarcasm didn't come through correctly. Just as you said "hey, wait a minute there" when presented with the idea that hate doesn't exist, the same reaction is appropriate when someone tries to tell you evil doesn't exist. The difference in how we react stems directly from what we are told to think in school and by the media, the rationalizing and explaining any evils done by parties protected under PC law is pervasive and acceptable by most in our society. However, it's just as rediculous as saying that nobody hates anyone else.

Ah, I'd call that a marquee.

The ones that piss me off are the puns. "We pray on the weak and defenseless" and crap like that.
