Yes, we can certainly agree on that. The age old battle between good and evil. What is right and what is wrong ... What is life affirming and that which is most certainly not ...
Lots of different ways to express more or less the same idea.
"But I really appreciate the honest exchange of thoughts. Thank you for that."
Thank you for letting me know that. Happy to engage with you!
You ask valid questions. I am willing to invest my time in trying to answer them, as much as that is possible, if that truly has some value to you.
If you don't mind, please answer these 3 questions, then we'll go from there:
There is nothing, at this stage of my life, I value more than my time.
Please provide me at least some idea of what value you place in having this ... "conversation."
Note: This is the best way I can come up with to ask. If you prefer a different way of expressing it, that is perfectly understandable and just fine.
If I say the word "know" and the word "believe" are different, what does that mean to you? From your viewpoint, as I am seeking to "see through your eyes" a bit, so that I might better understand how to answer your questions. I ask out of respect for your time, as much as my own ...
Earlier I mentioned "system of belief." Those words mean something to me and, based on that, I might ask you how you would describe your system of belief. Again, if you prefer a different way of expressing it, that is fine.
I will "listen" ...
And ... One more request. If you choose to answer these questions, please respond to this somewhere under one of your posts, of your choosing, and provide me a link in it. I ask simply to apply at least a little "Hive etiquette" here, as I am not sure Zuerich wants this thread under his post about Germany.
Yes. The ultimate authority.
Then war about who's authority is THE authority may continue?
Yes, as has been the case from the beginning of time.
This definitely does not sound amazing.
But I really appreciate the honest exchange of thoughts. Thank you for that.

But how do you know your authority is the right authority?
Not just some other dumb people claiming that.
Like all other authority that is not ur authority?
I cannot see how an authority can be right while also claiming moral authority and judging and simultaneously punishing people who do not agree.
How can something not voluntary be right?
And how can someone claim to be good while also coercing, judging, punishing who does not agree?
So how do you know your authority is the right authority?
And not just trying to perpetuate its power.
