Australia is not the Australian continent? Jesus was not very Jewish, he did a lot of things on Sabbaths and defined the Pharisees in un-Jewish terms.

Let justice be in the hands of the authorities.
not_now.soon,
Isn't the futility of this the cause of so many problems ?
The authorities are a massive handicap with their inept meddling in affairs they have no clue of !

NNS: take some time before reacting in anger. An hour or a day before saying or doing something in the heat of the moment.

Yep that’s a good idea. I just don’t react & I let them rant on. Pisses them off.

NNS: Don't return evil for evil. But instead you can conquer evil by doing good. If nothing else it will break the chain reactions of getting back on the other guy.

Don’t argue back. Just smile. Really pisses them off.

NNS: If you do this regularly it'll do much more too. Change the heart of a hateful person by being the example of unmoving love in spite of being wronged.

No, it won’t. Some people are just born angry or nasty. Every Street has one. There’s nothing you can do & if you do do something they take offense at it anyway. I just smile & say a great cheery hello xxx how things today. In fact the whole street makes a point of saying a cheery hello to him. 😉. Pisses him off no end.

Foxy: Religion has been brought up as a subject in this discussion and you are not under any obligation
to join in if it bothers you.

Yes, it has been & you introduced it first. Now let’s get back to the Basic issue of hate without bringing Religion into it. It’s a Red Herring.

Jayb,

A small correction. I did not introduce religion to
this discussion. What I was discussing on page 6 -
which you seem to have misunderstood - was the
verocity of hate, conflict, and war. Unfortunately
I made the mistake of choosing Muslims as an example
which seemed to get your ire up - and ended in attempts
by you to come up with insults. I should have given a
different example - but my intention was to focus on
the harm that hate can do. So I suppose I did make my
point with your reaction.

David F., brought up religion on page 8.

Dear Foxy,

I responded to Not_Now.Soon. He addressed me when he wrote: "But as for the points I made for avoiding hatred, do you disagree with them?"

I agreed with some of the points he made and disagreed with others. However, he was the one who first mentioned religion in accusing me of hate for the Bible and Christianity.

Dear David F.,

My apologies, of course you're right.
