Yeah, I never understood that argument, that thinking Jews killed Christ creates anti-Semitism. I can't imagine anybody thinks about the death of Christ like, dang, if only Christ had lived to a ripe old age, things would be so much better. I'd think Christians would be almost grateful to anyone who contributed to the event that launched their faith.

For hundreds of years people used that as an excuse for pogroms, smashing, hurting others.

Every year around Easter the preachers would get the throngs riled up.

What you said is logical, but logic doesn't apply for all things...

Many people get a lot of solice in religion. That can never be bad.

Sometimes I'm envious.

I draw comfort from Mel Gibson's DUI sermon and the knowledge that he "owns Malibu". He's the king.

Actually, it is inaccurate anyway.

The person or persons that killed christ are technically the ones that nailed him to the cross, and they were most likely roman.

So, not to upset any romans, I will just leave it at that.

Please the *faith board*

and Please don't accuse the entire world of killing Christ :O
I know I'm not the only one who feels incredibly frustrated, and angry,(probably because of the civility guidelines :~{ when hit with statements such as some of the above.

Ah Bobby..
If I'd never known you before, you would have won me over with that subject heading - whether you are being facetious or not.

I love Jesus,
I really really do.

I think he was the coolest.
Whether he was a symbol or embodied (don't have an opinion on that, and it matters not a whit about how I feel about "him" though I know others feel the human aspect is crucially important.

It's just 99% of religion I despise.

Oh, I didn't mean to refute history. I just don't understand how the notion is such a source of anger.

Why it's such a source of anger?
Because we are so easily made angry?
Because we are so angry already?
Or because we are so stupid?

Now I have to rephrase that. I've called us all stupid.
No offence meant, it's nothing personal, we can't help it, and most of us are very nice, what would you expect anyway, who am I to talk, and so on.

I guess everyone played their roles perfectly, regardless of which parts they were assigned. How can anyone find fault with any of the players cast in the devine script?

Just one perspective.

Mine is just interrpretation. How many times has this been interpreted over the centuries? I myself tend to be spiritual. That's just me. I respect all religions. And who knows what the real truth is? I don't. I haven't been to Heaven. Love Phillipa

This is a complicated problem. Let us all seek guidance from Mel Gibson. I think his "I own Malibu" speech answers all you questions. Mel knows.

a false statement is not civil.

Let's see:
A false statement is not civil.
A true statement is civil.
... or could it be that:
A false statement is civil.
A true statement is not civil.

Generalizations can lead to misinterpretations. Generalizations of definitives (All A are B) probably have a greater chance of leading to misunderstandings.

I could come up with simple examples to refute each of the four statements I made above. What potentially makes all of those statments uncivil in and of themselves are concerns of context and intent.

I tried my best to frame the context to examining a "logical proposition" by changing the subject line and removing all content from the post that included this proposition other than the proposition itself, even to the point of removing any indication this board uses to point out that the proposition was being quoted from another post. I also tried through this explanation to demonstrate my intent in how I chose to respond.

----------

But outside of all that is the fact that some people will still -- incidentally, serendipidously, subconciously, or intentionally (to name a few possiblities) -- misconstrue my intent or take it out of context.

Think globally, act locally. Civility starts at home.

----------

By the way, since many of you must have picked up the reference, if our context was some sort of Orwellian nightmare and we happened to be in the right building and I happened to be wearing the right "uniform", then you might realize the subject of this message is true, false, civil, and most decidedly uncivil all at the same time. That's context and intent for ya.

Please respect the views of others and be sensitive to their feelings.

But please don't take this personally, this doesn't mean I don't like you or think you're bad people.

If you or others have questions about this or about posting policies in general, or are interested in alternative ways of expressing yourself, please first see the FAQ:

http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#civil
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#enforce

Follow-ups regarding these issues, as well as replies to the above posts, should of course themselves be civil.

Thanks,

Bob

Sorry to interrupt, but I'd like to redirect follow-ups regarding civility to Psycho-Babble Administration. Here's a link:
