Originally posted by ColettiI prefer not to use the term "damned" when discussing theology. It's more of an exclamation as in "well, I'll be damned!" Theologically I prefer to use the term "broken" as that is our universal lot in life. It also has more connotations for hope and community.
Wow! You sure are quick to assume he's damned! Is that what comes from having a "free will"?
Originally posted by dj2beckerA racist cop was driving in his patrol car when to his horror he saw a black man driving a brand new BMW.He pulled the black man over and got him out of the car."See this"the cop said as he drew a circle in the ground with his batton."stand in the circle and don't move".
Where do you draw the line?
"Right"said the cop"is this your car?""Yes....that's my car"said the black man.This made the cop angry as the molecular structure of his brain could not fathom how a black man could own a car so much better than his.In a rage he took to the car with his batton till his anger at the black man subsided.
He turned in his pride towards the black man but got an unwanted response as the black man seemed to be holding back some laughter."Is this your car?"sternly asked the cop."Yes....hehe...that's my car"replied the black man".Ahhhhhh!!!screamed the cop as he ran at the car booting in the panels and jumping up and down on the roof."Is this your car"screamed the cop.
As hard as he tried the black man could not answer....as he was rolling around on the ground laughing his head off."What the hell are you doing rolling around laughing when I've just written off your brand new BMW?"asked the cop.The black man replied"Well....every time you beat up my car....I stepped out of the circle and had a dance."

So you base your interpretation of right and wrong on your own thinking? You also believe that your thinking has evolved by random chance, is that right? So what makes you trust your own thinking?

I suppose things only evolve when it suits you. 😉

>Personally I like people who are way different as it makes for a more interesting day.I guess their lines are drawn different based on their own life experiences which I believe is a god thing as this diversity of life provides more people with help.If you love people which society hates then you proberbly will be be hated the same.Hence....Good people also suffer.

I am refering to each individual. Where, and how should each individual draw the line as to what is right and what is wrong in their own life?
Personally I don't have to draw any lines because God has drawn the line in His Word. I am just interested to hear where and how other people draw the line between right and wrong...
Originally posted by dj2beckerIf your able to draw a line between right and wrong then you naturally draw it.If you cannot draw a line today then you can work to a future line.If you gonna draw lines in your relationship with other people then mabey you should consider holding that pencil upsidedown.Hehe.

If you hurt someone (or something) else, physically or feelings... you are doing wrong. If you feel guilty about something, you might be doing wrong... unless it is something natural that you were taught is wrong by society or religion.
P-
The philosophy of right or wrong is not as simple as your post suggests - I wish it were.
