Quote from Free Thinker:
wtf. reading what you wrote im not so sure about the once part. what the hell are you babbling about?
Ok let's keep trying. You quoted Bertrand Russell on Why He Is Not A Christrian. I replied with the following (another Bertrand Russell quote):
"Very true that he is not a Christian, a true Christian would probably never say:
"I do not pretend that birth control is the only way in which population can be kept from increasing... War... has hitherto been dissappointing in this respect, but perhaps bacteriological war may prove more effective. If a Black Death could be spread throughout the world once in every generation survivors could procreate freely without making the world too full... The state of affairs might be somewhat unpleasant, but what of that?
Really high-minded people are indifferent to happiness, especially other people's...There are three ways of securing a society that shall be stable as regards population. The first is that of birth control, the second that of
infanticide or really destructive wars, and the third that of general misery except for a powerful minority...
War has been throughout history, the chief source of social cohesion by providing an external necessity for a society to accept political rule."
--The Impact of Science on Society. (what I didn't specifically include is that Bertrand Russel wrote this book, does that help?)"
**So what specifically are you not sure about?** How about trying to quote the part you are confused about and then asking a question like you are here to participate in a real conversation? One based on the fact that you don't know everything and neither do I, one based on mutual respect. There is a LOT of knowledge in this world and neither of us will read and understand ALL of it in our lifetime, so it's no big deal to be wrong about some things. I made a joke about you being "FreePropagandist" because you don't do this exact thing. You ignore avoid and generally aren't intellectually honest.
I can't change that, but you can. I can't change the definition of intellectual honesty, but you can change your behaviour to match it brother!
In short, the point is everything you've said so far is based on a tunnel vision perspective of things.
