Read before you post.

Don't jump to conclusions.

Honor the truce.

I did, and I do.

I didn't. I gave it some thought, and it truly looked like you were giving a thumbs-up to some kind of rude and undeserved comment that Atto made in response to a heartfelt post I made. I apologized in case that's not what it was about, although it seems that it was.

Like you do when you accused me of being full of myself, which was far from the truth. And when you characterize me as some ditzy hippy, which is also far from the truth.

There is a chilling clip, circulating on the Internet, of a thousand+ Jews jumping up and down in joy at the sight of a mosque in flames.

As we all know Judaism is a religion of love, as is Islam, and Christianity.

Needs more analysis. No religion is a 'religion of love'. Islam, Judaism, and Christianity are , same as all religions, about enshrining social laws within sacred myths.

Islam, Judaism, and Christianity and their common ethic of The Golden Rule may be applied either tribally or universally. Judaism is applied tribally by Right wing Israeli extremists and other Right wing extremists.(Some earlier Israeli prime ministers have been Left wing.)

Instead of blaming religions we need to find out why Israel has adopted a policy of genocide against Palestinians.

"""RELIGION""""

- just another excuse to join a mob and identify with some cause that you feel appropriate - GANGS in major cities are the same shit..

It's been happening since the year dot. People - like to feel part of a group. As a Christian (and fuck I hate US evangelicals) - i never saw much from that dude about killing others.

I am merely repeating their claims.

Islam, Judaism, and Christianity are , same as all religions, about enshrining social laws within sacred myths.

Many would claim that this is true of "organised" religion, true.

Islam, Judaism, and Christianity and their common ethic of The Golden Rule may be applied either tribally or universally. Judaism is applied tribally by Right wing Israeli extremists and other Right wing extremists.(Some earlier Israeli prime ministers have been Left wing.)

Zionism is not compatible the left wing internationalism.
Which Isreali PMs do you mean?

Instead of blaming religions we need to find out why Israel has adopted a policy of genocide against Palestinians.

But by discounting their religion you are automatically denying the prime raison d'etre; the myths of the "promised land", and the "chosen people", both of which are essentially right wing

Yes.

Can you explain what it was about... that you thought was funny? Maybe I don't understand the joke.

Lacewing wrote: ↑Sat May 08, 2021 11:25 am You guys, Walker and Atto, are submitting nonsensical questions and claims that apparently only make sense in your own heads. Whatever mental channel you're on appears to be too full of noise to discern anything other than that, and that's why it seems pointless to talk with you about much of anything.

Walker wrote: ↑Sat May 08, 2021 6:50 am My point ...

What is the most precious to each and every person?

How is that a point? It varies.

Faces also vary, but the question isn't about variance.

Since the term “religious mindset,” implies a commonly shared monolithic principle, your topic opens the door for a defining absolute.
These questions will lead through the door.

Each person will defend what is most precious.
What is it that each person will defend?
What is the most precious to everyone?

Go ahead... explain and answer for yourself, in relation to this topic.

Atto wrote: Don't bother getting a room. Just inter_face. in response to and in observation of the friendly back & forth between seeds and yourself. I found it funny cuz friendliness is even more rare than civility here, and this is a virtual forum, so inter-face is a double entendre.

Do you get it? Probably not.

Humor can be idiosyncratic.

You might have a better time with explanations, though.

You say it truly looked like you were giving a thumbs-up to some kind of rude and undeserved comment that Atto made in response to a heartfelt post.

Which comment(s) of his do you think I was applaudin'?

Considering Atto's tendency toward sexual insults, I guessed that his comment was directly in response to me saying this at the end of my post: This has been the most enjoyable discussion I've had in awhile! And I break the rules all the time... in regard to thread topics and all sorts of other things. That's where the juicy good stuff is.

Atto's comment appeared to be more than just an observation of "the friendly back & forth" between seeds and I, as you casually put it. It appeared to suggest a sexual act... which you produced your thumb for.

Did I misunderstand?
