<< BUT you can stop the sinner without hating him or her. >> Yes, but once you stop a sinner "permanently", there is no longer a need to hate him. << But you abhor the person who commits it, while I consider the person diseased, out of harmony with himself, and almost always tragically unhappy. >> I can just see Hitler sitting up in his grave. He has finally found someone, like you, who understands him! <g> So, if you meet a person that enjoys murdering children, what do you do? Do you sit down with him and cry over HIS problems? << The best way to stop sin is to stop the sinner AND deal with the sources of sin. >> How about someone that is born with a pattern of DNA that makes him enjoy murder and raping children? Do you send little children over to his home so that he becomes more in harmony with himself? << You can kill Milosovic, but what you are going to get is probably worse. >> Then we build a two seater electric chair! <g> << But we will NOT destroy the hatred which created this problem in the first place -- a hatred which you, by employing it yourself, encourage others to follow. >> Good grief. I do not employ hatred. I consider Milosevic and Dog Face, his wife, sub human cancers. I think that the sooner this garbage, and their vicious military is removed from the face of this earth, the better for everyone. << Hate begets hate. >> If your hate is against innocent people, or if your hate turns into racial violence, then hate is bad. If your hate is used for creative purposes, such as removing a monster from the face of the earth, then hate is good. << Maybe it's enough for you to say in six months "We destroyed Yugoslavia, we finally killed Milosovic, hooray." But we will NOT have solved the problem. >> Maybe yes, maybe no. It's going to take a lot of aid to help the Kosovos restore their "soon to be" country. But with peace and brotherhood, and donations from charitable people throughout the world, and the Serbian military only able to sell girl scout cookies, the world will be a safer, better place.
