There is a mirror image debate about killing, between white bread Christians (not Christians in general) and liberals that get's danced around.
Military aggression - McChristians support, Liberals oppose Corporal punishment - McChristians support, Liberals oppose Right to abortion - McChristians oppose, Liberals support Right to die - McChristians oppose, Liberals support
I think the common thread is misery. If these deaths will relieve misery, Liberals are for it and McChristains are against it. If these deaths will cause misery, Liberals are against it and McChristians are for it.
McChristians just love suffering, hence their glorification of crucifixion, and the slave ethic.

2. They are most happy when they are told what to do/ what to believe in |
|
They are the ones that foolishly support crazy televangelists with donations from their Social Security checks.

5. I would disagree with you on the common thread. |
|
I think the common thread is that one group views humanity as wicked, and the other views it as basically good. One group wants a strong daddy to protect them, and they're heavily into punishment. The other group is more about individual freedom and free thought.

7. Purported wickedness merely rationalizes suffering. |
|
Remember, these are people who collect convenient rationales to rationalize their desires - people who cling to the false 'certainty' of dogma rather than deal with the ambiguity of reality and responsibility of conscience and free will.

6. The Christian archetype (Pisces) is a sign of duality |
|
Edited on Wed Jun-15-05 02:47 PM by SpiralHawk
There are two fishes in Pisces. One is the martyr (getting crucified all the time by life, or staying busy crucifying others), and the other is the transcendent, compassionate, all-merging mystical unity of exhalted, enlightened Samsara Satori Bliss Eternal Groovy Melty Magnificence. The Theocrats and McChristians are into the abuser-victim end of the Piscean spectrum. Fer sure. It should be, like, so over.
