The Quaker method of governance by consensus doesn't really fit into any of your above categories. It is not direct democracy. Consensus is something different. I suspect churches truly move forward only by consensus regardless of the governance model. There must be a common vision and those who di...

This is a thread to discuss the ethics and morality of building and using such bombs. I am not sure why we single out the ethics of using nuclear bombs as opposed to all types of bombs and all other deadly force, but yes, the use of nuclear weapons is, like all other deadly force, wrong and opposed...

If I understand you correctly, your and my understanding of who is our neighbour is quite different. Those who killed for what they deemed to be a greater cause in war was not killing their neighbour, imo. Those verses you used I would not apply them to all people in wars as many have no real hatre...

So delivering the mail is now tantamount to dropping the atomic bomb? Not at all. Maybe re-read my post, I suggested nothing of the sort. I was simply referring to your implied argument / line of thought in your response to KenSylvania. Nothing more. Consequently it is up to the public (through the...
