Foxy said "There is no such thing as unlimited freedom to do
whatever you want. Within a liberal democratic
society like Australia each person's rights are
always balanced against the rights of others and
the community in general. "

Answer- In Foxy's nation she would ban me- in my nation I would ban her. Some cultures are incompatible- good walls are necessary.

A person who thinks only about building walls,
wherever they may be and not building bridges -
is not Christian.

(Pope Francis).

Hi again Yuyutsu,

If you are being brought "closer to God" and God does not exist then that is a contradiction in terms. To be drawn closer to something, then that something has to exist. If God does not exist then you can not be drawn close to the non-existent God. You can only be drawn closer to the creator of the God myth, and what they want you to believe.

Analogy; The Earth is being drawn closer to the planet Zog, but the planet Zog does not exist. Please explain.

Christianity relies on the existence of a God, its whole fundamental meaning is based on that existence, for it is only in that way can Christianity claim validly and legitimacy. If the Pope (only used to represent all Christian leadership) was to say I want you to pray to the non existent God for salvation etc, then Christianity would collapse as being meaningless.

Analogy; Earth must make all efforts to avoid a collision with the planet Zog, but Zog doesn't exist. Please explain.

Talking about banning?

Lets look at what should be banned:

It would be great is stereotypes and prejudices that
stem from our cultural divides and beliefs, including
religious beliefs. Things
that promote superiority complexes for one's own
faction and despise for other belief systems.

Wouldn't it be nice?

Unfortunately these things get traction when there's
unawareness and lack of sound judgement amongst people.
Also it becomes more complex when politics is
involved for the sake of election benefits.

These are just some things that come to mind.

Foxy promotes a belief system that is Communism, where everything is held equally, and everyone is common in thought and practice. There is no discrimination of beliefs or practices. Paul on the other hand believes in anarchy, where you believe there is no values or principles because these are based in the view there are social commandments given by God to discriminate right from wrong. He does not wish to believe in a God because he would be accountable for his behavior.

By making choices we are discriminating, the blind cannot see they also make discriminating choices.

Josephus,

The rise of hatred and oppression have tortured the
souls of those who seek peace and kindness to others.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox tells us that as long as those
souls are tortured Christ will remain crucified:

"I saw the mill, the mine, and shop, the little slaves of greed
I heard the strife, of race with race, all sprung from one God-seed
And then I bowed my head in shame and in contrition cried
Lo after nineteen hundred years, Christ still is crucified."
