Re: Do You Believe in Human Dignity?

I'm not trying to be judgemental, though some will see it as such.

I am just amazed at the lengths we will go to in an endeavor to cruelly crush others with our words.

We fail to realize we are all victims of the human condition; All flawed, all failures, all miserable wretches. We are in this together.

I have lived long enough to realize every person on this earth has some sort of sin disease to conquer. What good does it do me to build walls of disrespect, hatred and judgement between me and those whose sins I am revolted by?

PP, I agree with you.

If my any of my posts don't reflect that I am truely sorry.

I am aware that I carry joking a bit too far at times...

Do you believe in the concept of human dignity?

We have humane societies for animals, and yet we kill unborn babies?

Murder murderers?

Torture terrorists?

I'm not sure.

I don't believe self-defense is wrong, if that's what your asking.

But I am 100% against abortion - and the death penalty.
