@kevin-eleven saidThese half-cocked little blurts by you are usually meaningless.
Lovecraft might have missed a beat there.
@kevin-eleven saidYou have nothing of substance to say.
On many occasions, kindly waffling is much more preferable than critical analysis.
I’m not surprised you never made it as a writer.

@executioner-brand saidIt's a saying.
Civilized humans don't pee on someone's back.
"Don't pee on my back and tell me it's raining."
Some people say "in my ear" or "down my leg".

@kellyjay saidAnother "objective fact", KellyJay?
Proverbs 14:12
There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.
When the writer of Proverbs 14:12 used the word "death", was he actually referring to people being tortured in burning flames for eternity... "death" in THAT sense?

@executioner-brand saidNo, not as such. It's a kind of rough and ready British or Australian thing to say. So, I suppose, British or Australian Muslims might use the expression sometimes.

@executioner-brand saidI've no idea who he is. And I can't be bothered to look it up. Anyway, now you know what "Don't pee on my back and tell me it's raining" means.
the kind of talk about Brenton Tarrant.

@fmf saidSo, is your Thread title and statements in your original post directed towards them? and maybe a few others? Or, is it directed at all people who claim Jesus as there Lord?
I am using the word "evil" as sonship and KellyJay use it in this context.
On a side note, what percentage of people do you think have never done anything evil in their lives? (please include yourself if you wish).
I also understand that many people claim things are evil that are not. They use the word evil as a mind control method to have control over the masses. (Example: Salem Witch Trials 1692; several hung and burned at the stake) etc etc etc....
Please explain your thread and it's meaning a little bit?

@kingdavid403 saidWhat does my answer to that question matter? And what bearing does your belief in divine law and divine reward and divine punishment have on "percentage of people [who may have ever or] never done anything evil in their lives"?

@kingdavid403 saidThe reason I said "I am using the word "evil" as sonship and KellyJay use it in this context" is because they define "evil" as ANYTHING that transgresses "God's law".
So, is your Thread title and statements in your original post directed towards them? and maybe a few others? Or, is it directed at all people who claim Jesus as there Lord?
Meanwhile, I define "evil" - which I think is best used just as an adjective - as egregious immorality (as already defined in numerous previous discussions, involving doing harm, deceiving and coercing) and gratuitous, sociopathic action that is gravely detrimental and/or damaging to others, and which stems from an abject lack or even absence of empathy and compassion.
The distinction is important.

Your statement insinuates, that WE do not have a battle against good and "evil" in our lives and choices. It's your Thread, explain it somewhat please?

None.

@kingdavid403 saidNo, it doesn't. It's just you thinking that.
