RE:I would argue that because society is a contract a society can do whatever it wants- and other countries should not intervene in a military fashion. So to have an internal holocaust (or civil war) is the sovereign right of a country.

Since countries are just made up of people who declare that a certain amount of real estate is "their" country, where do they get this "sovereign" right from?

Good morning X
Wow!! I must admit, I didn't expect that response from you, and I found it to be extremely disturbing. As I laid awake last night thinking wondering how someone could hold to such a cynical and nihilistic view of life, I realized it could only be the product of a deeply wounded spirit. I know you will probably find this patronizing, but I could not help but pray for you. You may appear here, as X the unknown, but you are not. God both knows you, and loves you. While I find the things you believe and advocate to be repugnant to the core, I will continue to ask God that He might reveal His incredible Love for you.

I just returned from driving across the country. The main reason I did that was to see my seventy two year old father, step into the water of baptism and declare his new faith in Jesus Christ. He has lived his entire life as an agnostic, without God. I must admit I never expected that to change, but God's grace and mercy are incredible.

Have a good day X
Greg
