Re: Predestined to be a Christian or a non-Christian?
Since all are prisoners of causality, all are worthy of compassion. I am sure as hell not going to show compassion to all. That is a huge disaster in the making as there are all sorts of people in the world willing to take advantage of that compassion. There is a difference in cognitive awareness b...

Nasty? Well, I suppose it wasn't very nice. I've never been an "ooh! look at the darling baby" sort of person. Dogs, however, I've got a great deal more time for.

Re: Once you've 'had' a deity .....
Poisoning the minds of children is, to me, a form of abuse. Sometimes I think there aught to be some kind of minimum criterea parents have to meet, before they are allowed to procreate.

It's not too difficult to imagine white cops in the lower ranks saying something like "Why should I take orders from some bleedin' Paki?

Since working as a conductor on the railways I'm afraid I now find myself suspicious of accusations of "racism".

Re: To all those who insult Islam....
Also very interesting, for me, is the publically declared distinction between "peace loving hindu community" and "Militant Islam". Many Westerners do not feel at risk of dying alongside exploding Hindus, (despite the fact that, IIRC, suicide bombing was a Tamil Tiger technique.) ETA: I mean I also, ...
