Isn't this a valid comparison? People are being killed for no other reason than someone else thinks they do NOT deserve to live because they have a different faith!!! Sixty or so million people died during World War II to stop genocide; will it take another 60 million to stop this new intolerance? Or have we as a race lost the capacity to understand right from wrong, good from evil or TRUTH FROM ERROR???
But, you may say--- There is no absolute TRUTH, because all truth is RELATIVE! If you believe this, then you are a hop, skip and a jump away from joining one of the groups in the picture above!!! Now, here is where someone calls me a right wing extremist. Fine, go ahead. The following is my extreme teaching...
1 Corinthians, Chapter 13 (WEB)
4 Love is patient and is kind; love doesn’t envy. Love doesn’t brag, is not proud, 5 doesn’t behave itself inappropriately, doesn’t seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil; 6 doesn’t rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with. Where there are various languages, they will cease. Where there is knowledge, it will be done away with. 9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part; 10 but when that which is complete has come, then that which is partial will be done away with. 11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child. Now that I have become a man, I have put away childish things. 12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, even as I was also fully known. 13 But now faith, hope, and love remain—these three. The greatest of these is love.
No matter what your religious persuasion, surely everyone can understand that if you do good, more good will be the result. And the greatest good that I can think of is LOVE. Isn't it about time that everyone, everywhere, learns to "get along" with others? Or has that little concept gone somewhere beyond due south of Antarctica?
Just one more thing...
At the beginning of World War II, atomic weapons were the stuff of science-fiction. Now, that they are a reality, we are in a real danger of wiping out our entire world. This could happen if group #2 obtains atomic weapons, but that will never happen... right???
