That's enough!! This is not the thread for debating the merits of one's opinion, nor is it the place to attempt to 'correct' someone's opinion.
Mods have posted in Green. Admins have posted in red. Any further abuses, of any type, in this thread may incur serious repercussions, depending on the generosity of the staff. Infractions given, at the very least.
Pay attention to the context of the thread, please. Also, baiting is trolling, and it's against forum rules.

Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often, indeed. But in the very long run the concern of you people is with the absolute good, ahead of all else..."
John Rowlands, The Grey King by Susan Cooper
"You come from the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve", said Aslan. "And that is both honour enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on earth; be content."
Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.
