I got lost in that. ^_^ *cheerful* Talk fast, say as little in as many words as possible, don't stop for periods, and leave room for interpretation. Oh and vague is good too.
On the note of 'other religions and others being opposed to us' in Obscurus' post, I've seen people mention how the-church-of-you-know-what (trying to make a Voldemort joke) is simply the most likely to be a threat with their apparently blatent "Fa!r Game" policy (among other things) while other religions, Christianity was mentioned as an example in their comment, would be targeted later and would probably require less precaution.
Whenever I come across the idea of what the '//arcabs' are doing, and what the church of you know what is doing, I'm left pondering the philosphical and practical significances afterwards. Ideally, it's against the injustices and people who are perpetuating suffering, and it may go on to start a fight against other injustices elsewhere afterwards(why stop when there is so much left to do and we have the people?). How far will things have to go to stop what is currently the the problem? What are the odds of some form of mob mentality? What precedences may be set in the process? What will happen in thirty to eighty years if the current fought is won or lost? I'm also amused in trying to apply something like Dharma to the church of you know what and the situation of everything involved.
I've never been able to google anything in guilds on Gaia, but I'm still thinking even partial words, or using too many associable words may be findable for whatever the apparent online searches they can do may be. Again, assuming everything is as it appears.
Edit - Get yourself a Guy Fawkes mask, we need more images along the lines of "The internet is here" <- it does contain a swear. And if you do choose to participate, make sure to read up on, and remember the rules and guidelines for protesting as well as the list of what you may have to deal with.My concern is that a movement begins targeting an organization for its injustices, which just so happens to also hold beliefs. So we attack the injustices while mocking the beliefs until (ideally) the injustices cease or the organization itself dissolves.
Given that the endeavor is a success, and it is found that injustice can be fought by such means, do we then turn to other unjust parties that are perceived as above the law? Most of these also hold beliefs. I'll use Christianity as the example. Christianity has committed grievous injustices in the past. Those affiliated with and highly ranking in Christianity continue to commit injustices while seemingly being protected from justice by the higher ups. So assume that, despite the astronomical odds of bringing down an institution with so many supporters and followers and so many centuries of foothold, we take Christianity (or at least its unjust elements) down. What next?
I fear that because of the seeming ability for belief to attract injustice and corruption that all belief systems will be attacked under the precedent of perceived injustice and being above or outside of the law. I realize that this is going way into the future, but I still think it should be considered. Mob mentality can cause great or terrible things to happen. Eventually it may come to considering what exactly justice is or is not.
I'm just glad that I had the moment of clarity (lol, no pun intended) needed to articulate this, as this was what I was getting at all along. These may be unfounded concerns, but they are still concerns. I believe it is important to separate the blatant injustice or illegality from the body of beliefs. Otherwise I fear that a guillotine of revolution may become a double-edged sword that we fall upon.
