| I hate it when people take the word of god and jesus as the one and only absolute truth to a problem. Sure, following the guidance of the messiah is a great way to guide your life and it offers hope, but I'm talking about the real world here. Who here has witnessed a fight over something trivial? who would agree that if both parties were civil, they could have resolved the conflict without violence?
"He who strikes first is the one to admit that their beliefs have given out"
a good quote, I agree with it, though sometimes you can be debating someone and they completely ignore all the points you make, meanwhile they call you ignorant.
not to mention that even if you do involve a bible as the ultimate form of guidance, it's up for interpretation. look at all the denominations of the roman catholic church?
but once again, when it all comes down to it, we as a race have evolved past the need for weapons, there's always another way, and the smart ones (not the politicians) understand this. I would never strike someone unless they struck me first, and even then, I would restrain, not harm them (I'm very good at that.)
