You have WAY more than you actually need, did you achieve that alone? Did you build your house/car/phone, or did you rely on others? Selfishness creates the poverty, co-operation creates the wealth.

No argument here. That’s demonstrably not true nor does it relate to the OP.

Any thought's I, or any being, may have, changes nothing about why we're here; my thoughts only give meaning to my life.

No but they are life's meaning.

Are you looking for the meaning of life or life's meaning?

Nor is poverty. It’s not the poor that will make you poor, it’s the bank that forecloses despite the knowledge that the dept is payable, that could be you BTW and if it did happen to you, you’d better hope to find a, more, tolerant stranger.

This answers my question quite well; basically you’d be happy for the starving man to die, as long as you don’t have to witness the pleading eye’s as the life seeps away or hear the whimpering get weaker until the final rattle. Edit/ added the coma for emphasis. That's my point. What about your neighbours?

What if that somebody was starving and you just get to the cake first, because you’re not, would you still enjoy your treat?

The best way to protect yourself from poverty is to make it disappear, because if nobody is poor then neither can you be. I sometimes get angry at your persistence but I don’t hate you for it, why would I? Hate only happens when we forget or fail to understand the value of tolerance; did you forget?

You're more than welcome to have your cake and not eat it, although I prefer to just eat cake.

Just a comment on the choice of forum.

LSD would help.

I see, you want to have your cake and eat it; did that tithe give you protection or support or infrastructure or healthcare etc (what did the Romans ever do for us eh )... This is, as Phi has so eloquently pointed out, the fundamental choice, you either pay for it or you loose it.

The rich have a greater chance of threading a camel through a needle than understanding why this is wrong.

Nope, because one day you may be right.

Well I tolerate you despite your hatred/quirks.

How many, equally deserving people did you, metaphorically, step on to get your stuff? And why does your rights take president over there's?

In which case I apologies for my assumption, which in your case was assumed due to my explanation in post #78; the NT exists but the history is sketchy. Duly notched. OK let me explain, again: Politics happens when tolerance becomes hatred. Or do I, really, have to point out my post?

You fear a future you can't possibly know and hates anyone who threatens that unknown future; try a different tack, tolerate those who threaten rather than apologies to the hated innocent.

Whats the point of hating what you fear, if it doesn't have big teeth?

No, but you can admire the depth of quirk.

Consider the song, not the flawed human who should be tolerated because he's human/one-of-us.com.

That was me but I'll also add, hate beget hate; the point is tolerance doesn’t mean you have to like ‘insert hate’, it means you accept 'insert quirk'. You, like all of us, occasionally dislike something a partner does, if you’re full of hate you’d beat him/her if you’re full of love or tolerance you’d kiss her/him.

Thanks for that ... Please read the thread, not just the last post, before posting. Back to disarray... Your arguments are getting progressively weaker and you’ve yet to provide a plausible reason for the existence of religions and bibles (please feel free to do so), otherwise, I think I’ll notch this one.
