Is it Christian to work in a bomb making facility?

It is a form of unconstructive criticisim brought as a joke (more importantly a joke you know will be received as an insult by a lot of christians). Now, I am not the one saying you can't do this or that, but why not acknowledge it is not in the first place constructive criticism and IS often used to just belittle or humor their beliefs?

 

Mostly because I like watching this guy get mad. I'm procrastinating.

 

I am not sure why you are asking me that...?

..or with what you were disagreeing with me earlier exactly? This is why I thought you might just felt attacked because I was pointing out in my example that your joke was not constructive in the first place (which it just isn't, nothing more nothing less dude) and anyone knows it wil be received as a joke more so than anything else. So why ask me what if you don't want to criticize constructively? You can do anything you like. And I react as I please. But in this situation I just used your joke as an example. No biggie.

 

It wasn't meant to be constructive. Go back and see it in the context of the post I responded to.

You all seem to be running in circles around one another.

 

Yeah, I'm also only continuing because I won't grant them the succes of twisting the facts around in their favor :mickey: Always fun to point out the hypocrisy in someone who thinks he can tell others what respect is :sunny:

Sigh... I know, dude. I never said it was ment like that. I was using it to point out the difference in an reaction to a post before me.

 

I'd argue that the term 'constructive criticism' doesn't even make sense when applied to something like religion.

Religion isn't like a poem or novel upon which the author can improve after receiving a critique.

I mean what are we supposed to be constructing with our criticism? We're talking about assertions; they're either true or they aren't.

In this context, the call for 'constructive criticism' just seems to be a proxy-term that really means 'my feelings got hurt.'

 

Wrong joker.

 

I never tried to tell anyone what respect is. I just asked for people to respect others beliefs without belitting them.

 

Ok .... this time I didn't get it. :mickey:

 

Sorry not getting mad. Now you will have to go find someone else to get your rocks off too buddy.

 

Wrong again, I'm into edging.

 

Saying it is wrong doesn't make it so. Try again :2thumbsup:

 

:rofl:

You come yet?

 

In this case it does because you are tying to tell me something about who I am/what I am doing.

 

What does any of this have to do with the ethics or morality of Christians working in a bomb factory? Seems to me that the posting about the virginity of Mary is a non sequitor re that issue. (She didn't work in a bomb factory, and it's debatable whether or not she was a Christian). That triggered a discussion about free speech which seems to have deteriorated into personal barbs and insults. Is it time to pull the plug on this one? BTW, yur mudda wears army boots!

 

We went on a little spree.

 

It is a historical necessity that people work, or atleast, have worked in bomb of muniitions factories. Allah knows their true motives and will surely forgive appropriately. They are Christian that way too; it is better that it wasn't christian. And then there are and were agnostic pacifists who applied passive resistance. :biker:

 

is it christian to eat shellfish?

 

Why would it not be? Jewish dietary laws don't apply to us. That was the law of Moses. Gentiles are under the covenant of Noah, which has no such provision. And since Peter had his revelation on the subject, even Jewish Christians are exempt.

 

just threw it out there because my comment on working on the Sabbath was too much for anyone to answer
