You can't stay on topic or on point to save you, can you?
When I kill something, it's to protect me and mine, and/or to eat it. Irrelevant to the conversation, as is every other rabbit hole you're trying to go down.
You should go back to rarely posting; an intelligent and coherent discussion - on point and on topic - is clearly beyond your capabilities.
I'm staying on topic ... but in the process I'm easily slapping you out of your anti-Christian atheist pigeon hole.
Your answer just proved my point.
Your disrespect of the life you take ... it proves my point and illustrates the difference between believers, of all kinds, and you atheists.
You have no respect for life ... yet you claim yourself to be morally and ethically superior, "more honest" if you will. That is the special hypocrisy of you atheists.
Yet we believers ... believers in whatever and for whatever reason, we believe, we have faith, that inside every body, every temple, dwells a soul. Christians and Buddhists in particular - we believe even animals have souls.
The belief has evolved over the years but it exists, and for good reason.
Now, if you are so shallow as to believe yourself so intellectually superior, (which you obviously are not), as to have my very simple analogies fly over your head ... that's fine. I get it - I see it all the time in you atheists. I stated it from the very get-go. But do yourself a favor, don't try to baffle me with your "stay on topic" bravo sierra.
You kill your prey without honor of any sort. You do not even respect the life you are taking, the light your are extinguishing, which allows you to extend the life of you and yours.
Now, understand the Etymology of the word "honesty" ... the genesis of this thread. It's early 14th century French meaning, to have honor, to be an honorable person.
Yet you atheists cannot even honor a life? It is meaningless to you on all levels. We have no souls according to you people and you are never even willing to enter into the possibilities that something beyond us, something higher than us, exists ... because it is beyond your capabilities.
My point is proven.
Now, if you would really like to have an honest discussion about honor and integrity and religion ... let me know. We'll start over without your preconceived notions that Christians, or any religious order for that matter, is comprised of dishonest followers based purely upon their belief systems that there is a higher power or that this prophet or that existed or did not exist.
Or you may continue to play your atheist word games and I'll simply ignore you because there is one rule that my grandpappy taught me long ago ... "Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him. —Proverbs 26:4"
And again I'll state, I am not a fan of organized religion ... but since my wife and children, my sisters and brothers, my parents and ancestors are - I am a fan of defending their honor.
What you think about, you do ... what you do, you become. In a nation where anything goes ... eventually, everything will. We're almost there.
