Where did I say I didnt care. Ive alluded we dcant change it is not equal to me not caring. Not in a real way, but I did make a flippant remark along with croc.
But I have family, so no, I care, I care outside of that as well, so please dont judge here, it doesnt fit, and shouldnt be expounded upon, and should just be let go
As for the rich not wanting to sacrifice, yes, theyre exactly like the poor here, except they may not take up arms, but help the poor to prevent this from happening, as the poor will be baring the arms.
You have to have faith in knowledge, and thats to my point, and so far knowledge hasnt saved us here, and already certain eople are saying its too late. As for God, it wont be a lamb next time, so yes, I agree.
Ive said all along TY for your links, as theyve enlightened me in many things, and Ive learned along the way, and will continue to.
Again heres where we differ, I fear only what youve already said, and Im sure Hes not happy, other than that, yes, its our job as stewards, as I alluded to. But in doing so, finding us not a virus but more, yet denying other things as well, means the same, does it not? And since my solution ends much the same as yours, and yet Im willing to try, and to take on my responsibilities, which also include not accepting certain thoughts,ideas,theories and terms, but enbracing that which is right, and acting upon them, seems Ive got more than most. And less fear.
The horse reference was to its impact on the soils. In the same numbers, they have a greater impact, especially in lighter/thinner soils, such as old growth forests, especially like S. America, where horses are still used by the poor there.
No, faith requires to be only blind that which incorporates faith itself, much like your faith in knowledge.
In other words, outside of faith, there is knowledge, in many or all directions, and are encouraged, or at least everywhere Ive been, and those whom I listen to, whther they embrace my faith or not. So, a cocoon isnt a proper discription, and like Ive pointed several times here, imagine it as your faith in knowledge, would you consider that a cocoon? If so, then you have yourself here, even tho you try to put me there, and this isnt constructive.
Ive also said, if I dont challenge my faith, then it isnt worthy, so I embrace change as a vital part of my faith, and so too, Ive tried to get you to challenge yours also, and somehow we can learn together. Yes, Im critical, but only because I think its worth the effort to be so, otherwise, I wouldnt be talking and learning more about this, which again, Im thankful for. Maybe these last few words of mine will help you to have a greater knowledge of faith as it pertains to most "smart" Christians and Muslims, as i believe none of this knowledge eliminates God in their eyes, or threatens His existence, as I find it doesnt for me as well.
As for people changing their habits, I point out, eating is seen as more important, so is staying warm, having means, such as money etc to survive on. How long do we go on this way, as the poor have certainly suffered more from the current economy in larger part than most, and to propose to continue this wont be met with smiling faces back at home, no matter what the leaders of poorer countries want. Is this a good thing? No, its not, but youve offered no alternatives here, with all the knowledge we have, and Malvine offers a few things thats not enough, pointing only to the fact itll take awhile before many of these hopeful changes can even work any time soon, and meanwhile, we have to go all in, and the rich with their business, will have to see longer times of low/no profits, and no, most arent into new business startup models here, the vast vast majority of them arent, the vast majority of them are good at only of what they do, and these proposals threaten that, and thus, makes them very much like the poor.
As for Oil and war, it didnt stop the Japanese, Hussein etc, and whoevers next, and the less we have, the greater the likelyhood of it happening again. Man is evil, not a virus, but within him he has something a virus doesnt, goodness, that goes beyond what a virus can do, as man can do something by his own will like changing the world he lives on, and for the better. A virus may have similar changes acting out in its surroundings, but thats only within the limited thoughts of evolution, and nothing more.
So yes, I think we need to do more, its the what thats important, and this includes the knowledge of the larger picture, and what to expect from others as we make our plans. My references to communism is as practised, not as dreamed, and since weve only experienced that which we know, its where my application lies. So I avoid its tendencies, and instead choose a scenario like what Ive laid above, with consideration of all things, which also includes scepticism and challenging that which we appear to "know"
