[split] Sanity -- from the Humanities Zoo thread

[doolasmind#11]

I was actually the one who joked about deeply religious people not likeing equality, sorry if it offended you, that's exactly what it was. lets get off that but what I would like to address and I dont feel like you cleared it up that well is when you said

"Because, believe me, I have seen homophobes, abusers, racists and the other trash. And not one had any love for God in their hearts. Not even in an "lol" way."

what did that even have to do with anything that I said. also those types of people come from all cultures, religons, races, etc. a lot of people don't have any love for god in their hearts and a lot of people have love for a different god than you. some are good and some are bad but the fact that god is there or not isn't the main factor on which way they go. but ok ok i get it you slipped once its late but then you said

What I mean are the people who have lived their whole life in poverty. "Trash" probably isn't the kindest word, I just don't know any others, and there is rarely need for other words.

I just don't know, I guess. It's mainly used by rich and privileged guys to describe them. No one else has a name for them, so if we have to we say "trash."

through my experiences most people in extreme poverty are the most deeply religious because a God is the only thing they have.
poverty my friend has absolutely nothing to do with the type of person you are. that sounds like a judgment to me and through judgments we look down upon, hence my reference to inequality. i'm not going to go deeper because i can already tell this has touched a nerve for you but just know that to go from your previous posts to the last i was shocked at how that went.

i reread the thread and i just want to say the only point i was trying to get across when i said that is that people come in all shapes, forms, sizes, creeds, and colors. it sounds corny when i say it but until you accept that just because someone doesn't have the same views as you that doesn't make them any less of a human then we will always hate and violence(im not saying you hate and are violent) im saying others follow the path to the end. don't know where the rest of you are at but in the US its MLK day today and he said "We must live together as brothers or perish together as fools."
