Dizzy: My mother always told me that violence doesn't solve anything.
Jean Rasczak: Really? I wonder what the city founders of Hiroshima would have to say about that.
[to Carmen] Jean Rasczak: You.
Carmen: They wouldn't say anything. Hiroshima was destroyed.
Jean Rasczak: Correct. Naked force has resolved more conflicts throughout history than any other factor. The contrary opinion, that violence doesn't solve anything, is wishful thinking at its worst. People who forget that always die.
I thought I removed the bible verse.
“Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.” Matthew 24:35
Huh, weird.
If that were in the starship troopers novel from 1959 it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.
"There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses." - Ezekiel 23:20
Amen.
I had to search it. It's a real quote: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=ezekiel%2023:20&version=NIV
If anyone is curious about its interpretation:
The lewd image here is meant to be striking and to promote disgust at the lust of the Jews after the ways of their slavery in Egypt, as though Egypt had been the abusive lover of her adulterous youth.
Source: https://connectusfund.org/ezekiel-23-20-meaning-of-she-lusted-after-her-lovers
If that verse was trying to create a sense of revulsion, it could not have failed more badly.
I don't need religion to spout off about things I know nothing about
Yes. What are the options?
