Personally I don't want a label as good/bad/evil/of value/valueless or any other labels to "put" on anyone. That is just NOT MY JOB!
I will be on a jury and decided if someone has acted within or outside of the law of my state. We are all pack animals and have decided and through natural development grouped by countries and declared that this behavior or that behavior is acceptable or not and if not, will have consequences.
Some of these are just 'societal norm' and some are laws. Obviously each religion believes that only they can be right or holy or His favourites and many religions very definitely place "rules" over what behaviours are acceptable or not as well.
But for you or anyone on the planet to say that I am worthless or of no value or "less" valued than someone else is stark raving barking mad.
That is exactly how wars are started and then killing is "legal."
Exactly why members of one faith are not allowed to pray in other temples,
why some kid wearing a red scarf is killed by the one wearing blue,
why Hitler rose to power and destruction,
exactly why flipping a bird at another driver gets you shot,
why every religious zealot thinks he has the only path to righteousness,
exactly why juries convict without due process or evidence,
why women are raped in the Sudan,
why all those people fell from the sky....
Exactly why we have so many violent deaths in this country and all around the world. Because people have decided that others are not worthy "enough", and life has no inherent value in and of itself.
Because someone puts more value on themselves than others.
Why groups have to consider themselves better than other groups.
Why there is the "elite" and then the starving masses.
If you read the thread on "Hate" by Glok, you see that Hate only survives when spread and disseminated and mobs formed.
And you want to decide on this forum who, when, and to what degree, and how some are better than other?? Where is the cut off? Who gets cherry picked? Who is worthy of LIVING???
Really?? Seriously??
Life is precious and has value regardless of your or anyone else's "perspective".
