see now since each large cabin consists of many rooms and there are many cabins. Who picks the Captain? certainly it cant be only one cabin or even a few.
since whatever course the ship takes, ALL the rooms are being taken for the ride.

So its best to consult the rooms and let them decide and not the cabin stewards.
So if there are more fascists on the ship, do we simply allow the extermination of Jews? An extreme example, I know.

What about the medium involved here?

Surely any reasonable Christian would simply walk away from provocation whilst on an internet forum!

How should I know? I am not Christian.

What motivates your question? (I ask that respectfully.)

an extreme example even without of the improper definition of fascist. The same example could have applied to Joshua's isrealites and the canaanites.or Hitler's Nazis

and the answer is no because that would be tossing shipmates overboard.

and could only be the result of letting one Cabin choose the Captain. Which btw is indeed fascism but doesn't have the genocidal implications.

If you follow my moves here on RHP you will undoubtedly notice how many times I have ignored insults, provocations, accusations and degrading remarks.

Sometimes I will simply avoid talking to certain people, sometimes I will even explicitely refuse to talk to certain people, but you cannot walk away all the time as you seem to suggest as a solution to the problem. They will simply redouble their efforts in spouting insults and Ad Hominems. I once, a long time ago, was told by the admins to warn the mods in case of abuse. I regret to say that the mods as a whole are not much help in that regard. Many people have left the site because of this. I'm still around though .......

I guess what it comes down to is:

What would Jesus do?

Well, what do you think he would do?

especially when the cabin's disagree.

consider a different take on the Story of Noe ( setting aside it being a copy of Ziusudra's flood) if you leave off the other cabins the ship will run aground on a mountain top.

and even Christ almost missed the boat, took a miracle to be on it and then his purpose was to stop the storm and calm the sea. He didnt change the course.
