So I take it from your reply and all the other reply's. That the end justifies the means. I have a noble cause, therefore I am noble, therefore look only at my cause not my actions. You asked what my feelings were. They are not the discussion. I am open. I am studying. I haven't made my mind up yet. Facts, logical deduction and natural morals will be the determining factors, not passion nor my own personal plight. When people become to impassioned they lose sight of the best path to the goal. They think of their passion not the cause. Feeding their passion provides the instant relief as if they are doing something for the cause. In the end they do something only for themselves, not the cause. Others Tell them they are noble because their cause is noble. Others who feel the same have their passion fed. They feel better. In the end, as you have admitted you don't think you will have changed any minds. You said you don't care. You feel they insulted you by questioning you. Imagine if the impassioned prosecutors in any country were unquestioned....everyone would be guilty. Imagine if the impassioned defense attorneys were unquestioned....everyone would be innocent. Imagine if the impassioned Palestinians were unquestioned....all the Israeli's would be dead. Imagine if the impassioned Israeli's were unquestioned....all the Palestinians would be dead. Imagine if the impassioned Hitler were unquestioned....we would for the most part not be here. Imagine if the impassioned anti-abortionists were unquestioned....all the abortion doctors would be dead. Imagine if the impassioned atheists were unquestioned...God would be dead. Imagine if the impassioned Christians were unquestioned...all the Jews and Muslims would be dead. Imagine if the impassioned Jews were unquestioned...all the Christians and Muslims would be dead Imagine if the impassioned Muslims were unquestioned....put on your Burka or die Imagine if the impassioned KKK were unquestioned....the world would be white and Christian or at least their type of Christian Those that cannot see the other side typically lose the war or at least the battle they are so impassioned about. They care more about the passion than the cause.
