[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] Forget it. Omega never admits that the Christians who do evil are 'real' Christians. They're all PseudoChristians, like from the Mirror Universe or something. Of course, the Christians who fail to fight the evil Pseudochristians are almost as bad. If someone's doing vile evil, and loudly proclaiming it to be done in the name of your God, you should be mad enough to go out and stop them. For good. Apparently, 'real' Christians spontaneously sprang into being some 20 years or so ago, because before then, there was no organized resistance to people doing evil in God's name. (There still isn't much of one, or there would be a LOT fewer televangelists.) Just holding hands in a circle isn't enough. Oh, and one more thing. 'true law and morality' flow NEITHER from a government mandate NOR from a 'big brother'esque Sky God. They flow from internal agreements made between the individual and society, for the individual's and society's mutual self-interest. In other words, humans cannot form communities without order and accepted norms of social behavior. Groups of humans wishing to form a community meet and agree on what will be accepted social norms. This becomes 'morality.' When the norms are written down, they become 'laws.' Different groups will, depending upon any number of factors, have different social norms, which is why some societies practice such things as cannibalism, multiple marriage, matriarchy, etc, and see nothing 'odd' about it.
