In a fair comparison, all you have is a few years of ego guiding your ordering of reality and causation, a hubristic ego that insists that stopping terrorism is wrong … while Christian principles have endured for thousands of years, through pockets of thick and thin.

Discovering the most probable before the future becomes the present begins with a sound premise of what's possible.

Apparently, you are not subject to your own criticisms, I take it?

So we're going to bomb the shit out of Iran if they don't comply with our wishes. There's nothing insulting and infuriating to the third world about that, I'm sure. We should just treat them like we do the carpet and walk all over them. In fact, we'll even call it "carpet bombing". [/sarcasm]

Your takes are often irrational and imaginary, I’ll give you that, starting with blaming creation for suffering.

Precision sarcasm is more effective than out-dated references. Precision bombing of infrastructure has replaced carpet bombing of populations. If machines had an AI business agent (union reference) it might issue an emotional retaliation against humans for the attack on machines, and attacks upon what moves machines (black gold, Texas tea) ... which could be described as carpet bombing the caca out of Iran if imprecise impressions were to be the freely sought objective, in the pursuit of fairness.
