Yet more reason to despise people of violence

[sandandfoam]

In the last week people who regard violence as a legitimate means of achieving their goals have been planting bombs around busy shopping areas

I despise the mindset that regards violence as legitimate, I really do.

The fate of the weak is to serve the will of the strong.

I'm pro violence

 

[Father Heathen]

You mean like when the allied forces used violence to liberate Europe from Nazi occupation?

Oh, you mischievous scamp!
From the context, we know what he means about violence, ie, the vicious reactionary kind.

And you can only be strong with violence?

Sometimes violence was needed in the past... But I think we can do without it most of the time.

I'm glad you despise violence but you act like it is something new and different.

You do realize that stuff like this happens daily in the world. I would bet there is not one day in the year when mulitple people use deadly violence to try and achieve their goals.

Instead of pointing to certain events work to cure the problem.

It may comfort you to know the true God also despises violence, and promises to end it soon, I believe. (Psalm 11:5 and Psalm 37:9-11)

I believe so too.

I agree.

Thank you.

I was talking about the people who planted the bomb in Belfast but yes I do.

Horse manure. Violence is weakness.

 

[LuisDantas]

While it may perhaps be necessary to use military force sometimes, it is still by definition a destructive failure to do so. It is no substitute for avoiding the violent situation in the first place.

Most important of all, we can't ever allow ourselves to think of strength of arms as a "solution" for anything. That is just poor thinking and a lack of desire to achieve actual peace and safety.

I'm certain that is what sandandfoam means, too.

Violence is a double edged sword.

 

[sandandfoam]

Violence is a double edged sword.

Yes indeed. And those who live by the sword....

 

[sandandfoam]

I'm certain that is what sandandfoam means, too.

Except that it is better stated.

 

[sandandfoam]

I think it is interesting that even abject failures who plant city centre bombs designed to kill and maim indiscriminately are even remotely defensible.

I find it... odd that we are being told to despise people of violence when that kind of passionate hatred and judgmental attitude is the very root of such acts in the first place.

I find it odd that anyone would consider people who would murder families out for a Xmas shop deserving of anything other than contemptible and repugnant.
