No. I thought the question was rhetorical. I have never been a member or been involved in a military service.
-
I fully understand that some orders could be illegal as well as immoral. And that service members are under an obligation to know the difference. Let me re-phrase my statement to say that it is not the soldiers place to question if the "special military action" or whatever term the USA uses instead of a war declaration is justified or not.
-
It became cheese?
-
The soldier must do what the soldier must do. Follow orders. It is not his place to determine justification.

Send it to Textron.

I actually have started my own religion. It's called Kenism. The first rule of Kenism is that no one is allowed to make money from Kenism. Especially not Ken.
-
Obviously. Only churches and their leaders do.
-
They used to be called "crusaders" or "inquisitors". The newer term is missionary. Or in your case proselytizing pest.

He does look very lovely in that dress.

This development probably signals the end times.

You left out the REAL Jesus. The one with America's colors.

What myth was that? Communism did not work because it concentrated too much power into too few hands and failed to provide individual motivation.
-
Communism for all it's flaws never claimed to recognize a higher or supernatural power. It is a good demonstration that people can be misled by promises of a better life in this world without making claims of an afterlife. Not a religion.

The backlash against the politicians who pander to the religious right is gathering steam. Soon many "Christians" will be even more against democracy.

The FAA could not care less about skydivers and has no desire to regulate skydiving that I can see. The FAA does regulate the safety of aircraft. And the rules for commercial aircraft are somewhat stricter than those for private aircraft. When you sell people rides as a business why should you not have to maintain commercial standards?
-
But still we don't know....do Christians believe in democracy? Like all other things in a huge and deeply diverse group there is no one answer.

Good Lord, have you ever worked in sales?

The human race has a long history of dividing up into tribes and killing over control of resources. Sometime theology has been used as justification. But it has almost always been only one factor. We are animals and we act like animals.
-
There definitely was violent suppression aimed towards “the opioid of the masses”.

Okay, seals are pointless anyway. But you still need to produce the paperwork or the I&R is not valid.

Free speech is a wonderful thing. But that doesn't stop annoying speech from being annoying.You are far from being the worst offender. You are nowhere near making my killfile.
-
You again with the silly hostility? Life's been good to me so far. I'm sure it's the power of my god. She is awesome.
-
And yet despite the theology they seem to have organized into an admirable society. That's one of the reasons I don't really care one way or the other what a person like Jay or Ron believes. It is really no more or less a fantasy than the LDS fantasy. All I care about is how a person or group behaves. Not their beliefs, their actions. And waving their flag in my face is an offensive action if done more than once.
-
Yup, exactly as I thought.
-
Yes sure. Except that if you don't agree with them you will simply say that they are not "REAL" christians. History is full of sectarian hatred. Your nation was at least partly settled by persecuted sects. This is why your constitution forbids government sanction of religion. Are Christian Scientists Christian? Are Mormons Christian? They would say they are, would you agree?
