Obviously tldagent I have struck a nerve with you...good. In regards to the other garbage you've posted, good for you on that too. Those that know me, and there are many in this community, know who I am and what I'm about so your snide insinuations are of no consequence but bravo to you for taking the low road. I'll repeat something I said earlier just for you, I respect your right to your opinion but I'm really not swayed or impressed by it.
I will give you this, my avatar, although meant to be funny, is not representative of who I am nor very appropriate so thanks for at least opening my eyes to giving an impression I don't want to. Peace! :rolleyes:

I'm sorry to say this but your making it seem like religion is the root of all evil. If you took your faces out of your behinds you might notice that religion has little to do with any modern warfare, which has killed more people then any religious battles have. Stalin was a purely secular leader, with a secular nation, and you saw what happened when they took morals out of the picture, massive slave camps just to build factories. If they had religion and morals none of that would have happened. The problem is today most of you have confused corruption within the catholic church and conflict in the middle east as a religious thing. They aren't. almost all religions have peaceful roots. Islam is also a peaceful religion, sadly though today there is no such thing as a religious state, as most of their leaders are corrupt dogs placed there by the U.S.

If you want to blame something for wars blame your in ability to protect and riot when there is one. When people don't step out and protest the government will keep on jacking our money and placing it behind more weapons research and consistently have to start new wars to use those weapons they've made with that research.

You get me wrong, I'm not blaming religion. I'm saying that humankind has more responsibility that we give ourselves credit for. We create our heaven and we create our hell and we create it for each other. The blame is not the religions the blame is our own separation from, "GOD" of Islam or creation.

One thing to note though, balance is in all of creation. When things become unbalanced the results are no good. Whether it be the weather, your check book, your tires on your car, the ph in the soil of your garden... everything. If there is a God then God's law is balance as shown in everything... all things. If anyone wish dispute that ONE universal truth if there is any at all, that truth is balance. All else is mythology.

I can assure you that you've successfully fooled yourself about the quality of your instincts lol. They are apparently as accurate as your take on the cosmos :D

Mr. Simpson, I trust my instincts and have never been fooled by them.

Good for you, welcome to "the first time" lol

Religion is not the root of all evil at all. It seems easier to call it that because man, not God, uses the thing that a person usually holds the highest, their faith, to defend their fears, misunderstandings, and violence. Blaming religion for wars is like religious people blaming atheists for lost morals. It's an unfair association based on misunderstandings of an unsettled sect of either subculture. We need to all take responsibility for our actions. Every action from the time we get up to the time we go to bed.

my instincts are spot on too, i'm getting this strong cosmic vibe that you're really spongebob squarepants and you live in a pineapple under the sea.

honestly its just a spongy aura i get from your posts *rolls eyes*

Openly accusing someone like you did is a gross violation of manners and debating protocol

I was a Debate supervisor on a huge forum for years, i saw kids debate with more decorum than you have shown in your posts to smacklan.

Please keep on topic or this thread will be closed.
Also, please refrain from any personal attacks as that might warrant intervention and/or infractions.
This is a warning.

when I was young I loved debates, with the time I saw my interest fade on them... but can I ask you: does something good comes from them?
