I agree, a system cannot force people into caring for others, but it can certainly create people who will not care of others by constructing a dystopia, where those who speak the truth for the benefit of others are prosecuted for the sake for harmony, when people are taught to distrust based on stereotype, when what is wrong is diluted/distorted to make it seems right. American is looking more and more like China everyday.

There are rituals, and there are laws. Rituals such as consumption of foods could not condemn a person, for "what goes into someone's mouth does not defile them, but what comes out of their mouth, that is what defiles them, " and everything is sanctified by God.

The bible does not condemn a person's "sexual orientation", but homosexual acts of stimulating each other for enjoyment is against the Mosaic laws (the same applies for heterosexual) for marriage and sex is not for one's body desire, but for God. Anyone who continue letting their fleshly desires control themselves cannot enter the New Jerusalem when Jesus return.

Yes, please use the right book, use Hadiths instead of Torah.

"When a man mounts another man, the throne of God shake"
Abu Dawud Book 33 (4462) "Kill the one that is doing it and also kill the one that it is being done to." (in reference to the active and passive partners in gay sexual intercourse) (Abu Dawood, Tirmidhi, and Ibn Majah, authenticated sahih by al Albani, Arwaa' ul)

Don't blame the book, blame the one who write it...

Of course not. It is not fine to watch men beat each other up as it has no other value and is a waste of time. Entertainment that have no other benefits is an illusion, a fantasy that by itself will slowly eats away your life. Every second you spend enjoying a selfish pleasure could be used learn a programming language and contribute to open sources.

Where did the articles mentions that speech such as "'disbelievers' will be consigned to the fires of Hell for eternity" will be criminalized?

1) Rouleau's website featured a black ISIS flag and condemn disbelievers
2) Bill C-13 will criminialize hate propaganda, including Rouleau's website

And therefore, the bill criminalized condemnation of disbeliever?

I think the definition of adultery seems to be different depending on the person. For Christian like me, I consider it any sexual lusts that is disrespectful and create unneccessary non-beneficial wants - such as having sexual thoughts about a person other than your spouse (this isn't an obvious sin for many people). Are you more righteous just by having the "right" sexual orientations? I think not. Is it bad to rape someone? Yes, gay or not this is sinful. Is it irresponsible to have sex with someone before marriage? I think so.

Being approving nor disapproving is not the main concern, but rather having the correct knowledges and reasons. But as a human being, we only have limited knowledge and wisdom. I personally don't approve of bigotry, and think as civilized people, we should be able to exchange idea and agree to disagree, for we are all sinners and have partial knowledge. For matters that are serious in nature, more investigation, inspection, and discussion are certainly needed, and laws are required so that people don't go around killing and raping people as they see fit. Nevertheless, I see too many people start jumping to conclusion based on ideology, religion, political standing, and even sexual orientations.

"Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from a religious conviction." - Blaise Pascal

The first quote is most likely spoken by a person who does not aware of his/her own sin, and believe in the falsehood.

The second quote is most likely spoken by someone who is aware of right from wrong, but commited to the wrong nevertheless.

â€oebut he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is subject to eternal condemnation†Mark 3:29

A person that will not listen to the voices of his/her own conscience is subject to eternal condemnation, which is quite scary. A person who know what is wrong, but do it nevertheless, is wrong on top of wrong.

Then who is more scary? A person who is commited to do wrong knowingly, or a person who doesn't know right from wrong?

I don't think grandparent implied that Jesus, Heavenly Father, and Holy Spirit is the same, it is just bad analogy. Jesus as a human does not "change" into one and the other, and all three trinity are distinct yet in one. Jesus has his own personhood as a human, divinity as God, and he exists before Abraham. The concept of the three divinity is merely an perception and people's insight in bible, not something that is spelt out in bible. I suspect it will become quadnity (4) during the second coming of Jesus, no?

You sound like bringing down dictators is a good thing. People in authority are anointed, and with power comes responsibility. One may argue that someone may not be doing their jobs well enough, but why this zeal for outing someone because of a label of dictator? Dictator or not, as long as they are doing reasonbly enough for their own people (including military), they are good government.

Comment Re:Nuclear Hologram. (Score 1) 251

When I look at failure, I look at the number of people injured, died, or gotten sick as a result.

You may said coal don't have catastrophic failure, but if we are turning a blind eye for the 20x increase of cancers per year because of coal, how many people are we willing to give cancer for nuclear energy? How many people can die in a coal mine so that we can not having to worry about preventable catastrophic? Is it more acceptable that we render the entire region inhabitable and destroy the ecosystem for coal, than having a plant to contain nuclear waste?
