Alright you think it’s great and all. Good luck with your great epistemology and debating skills. I don’t really have an interest in convincing you either way.

But what's your point? You said that Netanyahu is a dubious character. I agreed with you. What's the next step of the debate after that? 

I then said if Iran is indeed developing nuclear weapons like it seems that they are then it does make sense to take action to stop them from doing that. What is your response to that point?

I don’t have an interest in debating you sorry. It’s fine i’m not even saying you’re wrong. My point is i won’t support that crap.

Well i think you should if you want to take the likes of @zazen's side..he thinks the US is a terrorist country because they murdered innocent Japenese.  I tend to differ here.  He thinks we just upped and dropped the bomb on a bunch of Japenese citizens.  Well Jesus.  What would have happened to us if we didn't?

I guess we’ll never know. Bomb first ask questions later.

If you don't bomb first there probably won't be a later.

That’s why Jesus was quite neat you know what i mean.

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you – The Golden Rule (Matthew 7:12).

Blessed are the meek, the merciful, the peacemakers… – From the Beatitudes (Matthew 5:3–10).

Forgive others, and you will be forgiven (Luke 6:37).

Turn the other cheek – Respond to wrongs with nonviolence (Matthew 5:39).

Store up treasures in heaven, not on earth (Matthew 6:19–21).

Let him who is without sin cast the first stone – On mercy and humility (John 8:7).

You really believe in the Bible?

No. But i like Jesus.

And some of the older stories are cool like Adam and Steve can be seen as an allegory to non duality. Gaining knowledge of separation, being cast out of Eden, naked and afraid and so on.

I like Jesus's teachings as well and try to study them and live by them. The brutal thing to realize though is that he didn't accomplish much, got tortured and killed and the world is still in all kinds of violence and despair 2000 years later. So much for the messiah son of God. 

I believe world peace is coming but I really don't think naive optimism is how we get there. Something closer to AI revolution and blockchains to force transparency sounds more like it to me.

@Leo Gura do you think iran has bias towards their ability to create nukes and wareheads for power and control rather than peace and being true to their beliefs in Islam? What would George Carlin say? 😂

Ur deflecting, and I get it, it's a bitter pill to swallow when the people you associate with are involved with something terrible. I'm a white South African, so I'm still dealing with the baggage of Apartheid.
