I Know Some People Are Not Worth My Time

@HeteroDox
Thank you!

@HeteroDox I use the word, "hate" in the archaic sense. That is, I disregard their opinions and beliefs as I see them as incredibly toxic and destructive.

This is not the same way the word is used today. It simply means to release the issue of its power in my life.

@puck61 yet prejudicial behaviour that serves to isolate people is what then? (never mind wishing them disease ridden and down trodden)

@HeteroDox 🤗

@puck61
“Blessed are you if you Leave them for my sakes” Jesus says! We shouldn’t love our families or worship them or anything more than Jesus! That way we don’t get so rattled 🙂

@Carazaa religion is NOT a solution either, if there is ever a bigger generator hate and oppression its religion.

@HeteroDox @Carazaa You should be more adult about all of this. You speak as though you have never searched the scriptures at all.

@HeteroDox Atheists have won the body count by a landslide!

@puck61 Oh silly me... then religion is clearly blameless. I didn't realize that there was an acceptable murder count by one group.

@HeteroDox It is humanity that causes inhumanity. It is the cross of Constantine verses the cross of Calvary. Just use your head. It's not rocket science.

@puck61 oui.... i assure you i'm a balanced human being and medical professional (so "using my head" is a given) saying that religion in not a license to oppress or murder, nor any acceptable reason - as opposed to the tone of this post.


Humans murder for any reason it can find with mob mentality, but when you get into institutionalized reason as politics and religion, which both are historically used to control masses (regardless of creed), thre is no acceptable reason to subjugate or visit violence to achieve a goal.

Its not rocket science; use your head.

@puck61 Oui - i know this song well, especially its chord progression, arrangement and tonal structure as well as its origins in writing (Im also musically inclined)

@HeteroDox
That is what I do also. I have no business in politics, but I am persuaded by the so called 'culture war' to pick a side. I stand with the blue and white collar working class, and my country is desperately divided along political lines.

@puck61 I agree... i can only speak for myself. I consider myself conservative but see genuine stupidity and hatred back and forth, so i "side" with rationale.

@HeteroDox Well, at least I haven't mentioned "stringing up ears" lately...............
baby steps............baby steps............😉

@puck61 i meant the OP talking about wshing they die horribly... if we force our wishes and ways upon other ppl in force, then we may as well accept that we are fascist, no?

@HeteroDox Every ideology is only as workable as the people who wield it. Even Islam could be good in the right hands. Unfortunately, human beings make a mess out of everything. Even the propitiation of grace turned into a banner of battle when Constantine got a hold of it. The change from ACTS to Revelations is no small matter. Constantine turned the grace of God into a banner of war, and blood flowed more freely than ever in history.

@puck61 I dont think any such ideology went without "collateral blood"; deemed acceptable

@HeteroDox A veritable cornucopia of inspiration. A poets trip to the vomitorium. Thank you.
