Thatk's. I'll turn the mirror 180° even more. But, tell me, James, don't you think that if I post Smart ONE so often, it is also because I somehow love him, as a human being that thinks. I just want to try to understand the little hatred he has, here and there, and try to show it to him, sometimes, too often with rudeness ; but he fight like hard not to get involved! Wouldn't you agree that if I posted him so much, it is also because I sensed great human qualities in him ? Qualities that also made him who he is. See, in the sociology of our world, I did not get many chances to have discussions with people that seem to appear as mild antisemitists because of the Jesus story, and debate around it on a long period of time. That's internet. So here we have an interesting however sometimes strange exchange, somewhat even stranger because others are reading it. Enjoy it. I am sure you do, right now and for the same reasons that those sown in your post. Oh, I appreciate it too, BTW. Now if my vision, however childish, derives from some need to hope that things can go better when people do realise that they are wrong, here and there, after a good debate; you have just martyred my philosophy some more. That's life too. That's what the Sapiens are about, IMO, and I enjoy very much being one of them. I won't ever say proud, because I can't let myself be proud of a choice I didn't make: genetics, later tribes. But sure I have a problem : that millions of worshippers turn around the Kaba'ala praying for a guy that, among other things, many many brutal things, especially with girls, took of to heaven with his horse. And they f...en believe he'll take them to heaven too, so they fell they are better than you, Smart ONE and me and the whole damn world. And if I do not succeed in "helping" Smart ONE on that issue, read legends importance and effect, I better quit it, or refuse to talk to people above thirty about it. Now, I am afraid that, however time I spend in the introspection mirror bit, I will still be out to fight any totalitarian discourse I see, if the answer is seen by the same lectorat. It is true that I could be only attacking a Don Quichotte de la Mancha Crusader Of Christian Numerology... I guess I owe it to Staline. (was in the West!) So please put it on his account. But I'll still look in the mirror, thanks.

start with turning the mirror on yourself. You will see that the people that you dislike, fear, loathe etc also exist IN YOURSELF. After that you can become more compassionate with them, and WITH YOURSELF. Bulls eye! How true it is.
