Jesus asks us to love each other and taken on his own account is generally full of good advice from socialization to the separation of church and state. The point he was making. Love thy neighbor, love thy enemy is a good one. Religions and their dogma are a completely separate affair and impose a lot of their own rules onto things. As for Ghandi non-violence is a far cry from "death to the foreign oppressor!". This was the guy who preached that "an eye for an eye would make the whole world blind." and that kind of action was a revolution in thought. In the instance of Martin Luther King, you obviously didn't pay very close attention to the "I have a dream" speech. There's a marked difference between hatred and frustration. I'm sorry you're such a cynic you have to assign hate to the motivations of everyone. I truly pity you. Especially since your balls hurt. I've been there. It is not a good time.AccursedTheory said:Actually, the most populous religion (Abraham's brood) say GOD'S love saves. Our own is practically useless in and of itself. Gandhi preached non-violence, a far cry from 'kill it with love,' and MLK did the same, and certainly did have hate. Seriously. To say ol' Martin was not fulled by at least a little hate is crazy.
You'll probably want to point out to me that none of these people were perfect, "look at this" "look at that". Trying to drag everyone down into the muck with you is typical cynic tactic A. Well I'll just have to cut you off at the pass and say that nobody is perfect, but it's nice to see that people can sometimes on rare occasions rise above their base natures. Even if they don't all the time. I mean what did you do today that inspired hope for mankind in anybody? I ate Chinese food then bought some towels. I don't think that made much of a dent.
As for the super intellectual post I was originally going to make it's this:
This is like those times that Lex Luthor opposes General Zodd. There is no "good guy".
