My neighbor is an atheist who believes no such sky pilot fairy tales, and will be quick to tell you so.
My neighbor has become convinced that everything I have worked for to provide for myself and family, are ill gotten gains that are in fact rightfully his, and have only ended in my hands because of a rotten system designed to do nothing more than that.
My neighbor also believes that human beings are not individuals, but rather just a collective mob of competing interest groups. He's convinced that the real problem is that there are just too many of us and not enough of him. Therefore he has committed himself genocide for the greater good, including my and my family.
And you wish me to embrace and make peace with these demons?
People who can legitimately think and act that way are as different from me as a race of space aliens.

The evil left hates God & Christianity.
God is going to punish them one day.
God HATES Evil...
Proverbs 8:13 (KJV)
“The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.”
Psalm 97:10-12 King James Version
10 Ye that love the Lord, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.
11 Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.
12 Rejoice in the Lord, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.

Matthew 5:44
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
Matthew 22:39
And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
There is no spoon.
Well I do think its OK to pray for your enemies after you've won . I think thats what Matthew would want .
Bleating about truth while employing awful logic in defense of your cause is pathetic.
The only purpose a "true Christian" of your ilk serves is to end up persecuted and in an early grave at the hands of malicious men. Your kind of "true Christian" will also get your loved ones persecuted and killed at the hands of those same men due to your sheer ineffectiveness. Your tepid existence is sustained entirely by hard men not content to allow malicious men to do as they please due to some misbegotten and thoroughly dangerous interpretation of love.But I will say this again. I have no time for anyone who speaks any type of division between humanity, from here on out. Those that consider themselves true Christian would feel the same I would think.
Finally, those that are unwilling or incapable of dividing humanity based on their actions can lay claim to neither knowledge or wisdom. They are psychological eunuchs.
The martyr complex they possess compels them to get themselves and everyone around them killed. Their reward is not of this world, so it does not matter to them whether everyone is slaughtered as a result of their actions. If their type was dominant around the time of the Revolutionary War, then this country would have never been founded as they would have sat on their asses doing nothing at all about the British.
Ouch.
If they don't cause you to rein in your tough-guy talk, someone else bigger and badder will. (Ultimately, you will become one of the malicious men you fear and hate if you continue down that road.)
How appropriate this quote is, on MLK Day of all days: "Hate begets hate; violence begets violence; toughness begets a greater toughness. We must meet the forces of hate with the power of love."
Most folks are afraid of stuff that will never happen. (Governments will eventually collapse under their own weight; no outside intervention is necessary; merely withdraw your support!)
It is time to dispense of this sophistry. Firstly, malicious men are not "feared". They exist, and this observation is an acceptance of the nature of man comprising a duality. Also, nobody was speaking of fear until you mentioned it. At best, it is a nice strawman you concocted. At worst, you are being willfully disingenuous.
Secondly, the idea that one becomes what one hates is pseudointellectual garbage. As an example, one does not become a Marxist by hating Marxism. The fact there are people still running around laboring under this delusion is an indictment of the intellectual state of mankind.
Finally, if you thought any of what I wrote amounted to "tough guy talk", then I suggest you locate your spine and verify it is still intact.
That cuts both ways.
In the materialistic world view that excludes factors that are not of this world, human life is meaningless and without value anyway. So in that case it still matters not if anyone gets slaughtered.
The hypothesis that it is people with such a world view, and not those who seek rewards that are not of this world, who are really more liable to be suicidal is born out by statistics.

What you must realize is that true evil makes up a very small percentage of people on this planet, and folks like you and me will probably never meet one of em if we're lucky. Most people out there that everyone here is salivating at the mouth to go full jihadi on, are mislead folks just like there are here. They've just been mislead in a different direction, and for just as long. Humans on a basic level want to live a life that makes them feel content, and that's the extent of it. We all can find common ground with our neighbors in that regard, and then build from there.

How do you propose to stop these "malicious men," BSWPaulsen? (Pre-emptive violence puts your ideology in the same realm as governments.)
You do when you forego your principles to stop it.Secondly, the idea that one becomes what one hates is pseudointellectual garbage. As an example, one does not become a Marxist by hating Marxism. The fact there are people still running around laboring under this delusion is an indictment of the intellectual state of mankind.
"Tough guys" like to appear tough by disregarding simple -- yet important -- concepts like love.Finally, if you thought any of what I wrote amounted to "tough guy talk", then I suggest you locate your spine and verify it is still intact.

Tell me how hate and strife will help you accomplish your goals. (Or help anyone, for that matter!)

The only time I see actual extremist thought or actions it's by people that consume online garbage every day, that includes quite a few posters here these days unfortunately. Whenever I'm out face to face with people, they just want to live the way that makes them content and they dont want to be getting screwed by corps or government. That's something we of all walks of life can come to agree on. Absolutely.
