That is backwards: Try to keep your own counsel... then you might see the light.

My my, we play with stakes we don't have...

personally, whatever. Since this thread has degraded to a less than civil dialogue, I think it might be best to be removed...

I'll ask those that are part of the moderating counsel if they agree. They might say yes, or they might say no. In any event, it isn't your say...

However, your attitude is at such a point that I do have a say...

Thread is closed.

Sorry about that - there were concerns raised both about the title, the motivations of the poster, and the potential for offence for Christians on the Christianity section.

For that reason the moderators decided to play safe and remove the thread, and my apologies for not being here to help guide the situation.

However, the thread has been returned and this thread unlocked, and I'm going to have a general word with the other mods about such issues so we can try to prevent such issues happening in future.

What, are we going to talk about the "jesus/terrorist" thread being closed or are we resurrecting the original thread?

Anyone for equine sandwiches?

So why don't I just start a new thread? Bumping an old thread like this one somehow makes me more connected to the past. Honestly, I look at some of the other members and just feel so new despite the fact that I have now been posting here for a year. I have worked through many ideas by posting here, and its been pretty good. I was wondering what people think the future of the interfaith movement is?

Wow... One whole year? lulz...

Everyone is "new" really... Mankind is but a mere smudge, on the line of time.

No idea what the future holds, but it will soon be the past.

I did appreciate what you had to say about it in the politics area this time. Very well written, very factual and well thought out.

My bet is it will be the same as it ever was 5000 years ago and whatever title one puts on religion does not change what it is. Trying to prove beliefs that no one can ever prove with excessive concern over unimportant trifles to keep people needlessly disturbed and quarreling. I do however get a small chuckle out of those who really believe they are actually refuting another religious belief or dogma.

As a tiny sample of the future: you have jesus the terrorist, jesus the pornographer, jesus the hypocrite, jesus pbuh, jesus that never existed, jesus-jesus, jesus the pagan godman, jesus the sinner, jesus the savior, jesus the gnostic, jesus the false messiah, jesus the _____.
*repeat*
*repeat*
for as long as you wish.

Thanks! I got called on some assumptions earlier in the thread, and that's probably why I started being extra careful.

Have you seen the movie Wargames? I used to simulate in my head conversations with people, to see if I could pre-empt their objections to things while I proved things to them. The result was the same that the wargames computer got when it played globalthermonuclearwar. After simulating battle many times the computer decided this was a strange game, because the only way to win was not to play at all. The same goes for refuting other people's beliefs.

I haven't seen Wargames, but what you describe seem true enough to me. Well put.

Ah yes, Wargames. Good movie.
