Are You Religious?

[Lessinath]

But what makes an action good or bad? Some people would say that abortion is wrong. Some would say that it's not.

Heck, some people think that 9/11 was not a despicable action. We, of course, think that it was. But then we (as a community, as a whole) don't have quite the same revulsion when it's us doing the killing.

I remember the way people partied in the streets when Bin Laden was killed. I was sickened, not because I had any real sympathy for the man, but because I don't think that the death of another human being is ever anything to be celebrated. Was it despicable to kill him? Well, I think we'd be getting into a capital punishment argument here...let's just say that I don't believe in the death penalty under any circumstances.

ANY time you are hurting or repressing another population group short of an enemy trying to make war on you with bombs and tanks you have a serious problem. This includes discrimination.

I also think anyone who has gone out of their way to kill civillians as an act of war has forfieted their right to life. I'll shed no tears for bin ladin, thanks. Mind you, this thinking also extends to our own military.
