A hippy, pot smoking Hindu?
Alrighty then.
And I do believe the only thing you can count on is change.
Yes, change.
51 years ago the indegenous peoples of this continent were not even considered people. They got the vote, and hence recognition as 'real people' in 1967.
Things are changing exponentially and the things you thought were stable and immutable will start to crumble. Are already crumbling.
Coming form a place of love is much harder than coming from a place of fear (division)
"God" wants a win-win scenario for all sentient beings. Do you agree with this or do you think that "God" limits his love to bible regurgitators?

There are two groups of people numbering exactly the same.
In one group are friends and family peacefully enjoying the day. The other group is about to slaughter your friends and family.
In your post to this thread you decide what happens. If you say you kill the aggressors state that you'd defend your friends and family. No other means will save them ...[text shortened]... who believe in God, he has put you there and given you this chance. Do you defend or do nothing?

In such an act you lose yourself and the respect of your family. Lose-Lose.
edit. The real question to be asked is what git told you they their intentions and what was that gits intentions?
edit. If it was a hypothetical 'God' that set this up, I would hypothetically stab 'him' in the face instead.
nuver edit. A Christian 'God' wouldn't do that. 'He (more likely She)' Would send a messenger to sort out the mess before it got to that stage.

Originally posted by @fmfThen after a few drinks together both sides decide to go after the evil SOB who devised this no-win scenario in the first place 🙂
In my handling of this case, my family lives on unscathed, and nobody is killed. In fact, my family and their would-be attackers all end up friends.
Originally posted by @eladarIf all your family is saved then to die is gain. Those people who are going to hurt your family and friends don't know God yet and you kill them they will be lost for all eternity. If they get away with it maybe they'll find Jesus eventually. On the other hand your family will already be with Jesus.

Originally posted by @eladarYou utterly ridiculous person. I choose to strangle the idiot making up the facile 'thought' game. Yes it's a murder, but it's a mercy-killing and it benefits the whole of society.
