catholic, protestant, jew, agnostic, atheist...you get the idea..agree with this nonsense, no?

Something so obvious as killing someone to keep yourself alive is an act of hypocrisy that is surpassed by none other. And in fact isn't a form of survival at all, but the first step toward a true death.

Furthermore, how do we not know that we really are not one. Killing another may really be killing oneself.

Humans survival instinct is necessary to accomplish evolution through natural selection..

I have many people both living now and who will come later who deserve to have me and need me...nobody is going to take that from them. Sit on a pious throne if you like..

"I know better than to post on this god forsaken forum. But with your reply I felt compelled. Que the barrage of morons..."

Many fools who believe their own lies refuse to talk to others for fear of shaking the core of their beliefs.
