I do not hate them. I am disgusted by them. They felt themselves self-important enough to degrade the short lives of their victims. And because of that selfish-ness, they do not deserve the right to enjoy their own lives that they without forthought extorted from their victims.
Perhaps if they realize what the value of life really is, we can give them theirs back. If you cannot hate... then you cannot love...

They are not given the right to enjoy their lives when they are behind bars, and like you I think if they can be shown to better themselves, and show actual rehabilitation they should be given a second chance. You and I are not so different, I just don't agree that hatred and love are inherently intertwined. Hatred is a wasted emotion.

I believe that to expierience life to it's fullest, I must expierience all passions equally. For everytime I am happy, I must sooner or later be sad, or otherwise the joy of happiness would become dulldrum meloncoly. And to know what it is that I truly love and respect in this world... I must also know what I despise and disgust. That's the main philisophical reasoning behind what I say. The emotion called hatred is not wasted one, as it is there for a reason. However, it is what you do with it that matters.

[Lucent Dawn]

I've come to the conclusion I can only know or learn what fulfills myself, spiritually, as each person can only know or learn such. As I have thought, one cannot fully know the greater secrets of our existence, and so I ought to simply live life in a way that feels right to me.
What happens to each eventually we cannot be sure of. Though I do believe in asome greater spiritual part of our existence, I can only see glimpses of it, yet not know its true nature. And that is for the best.

It is not up to me to define sin in its entirety. So, for example, and in relation to an earlier discussion, I cannot know what the spiritual becomes or creates for a pedophile.
I can have some idea what the spiritual is for myself, though, and that's what matters.

[Unhealthy2]

I'm a strict naturalist. I hold that we live in a horrendous and wonderful, ugly and beautiful, violent and loving, purposeless and glorious, paradoxical universe.

I believe that life is filled with the most wonderful of fascinations and pleasures, and also with disease, poverty, starvation, and natural disasters. This gives life the wonderful nature of the most exalting self-transcending ecstasy, and all the horrors of Dante's inferno.

I believe that we live in a sensible, coherent reality which operates according to understandable and precise rules, giving the universe the beauty of a statue, or of geometry and the ugliness of a thoroughly analyzed and dissected poem.

I believe that we live in a universe with beings capable of compassion, altruism, and caring, and also the most violent crimes imaginable, giving our world the love of friendship and the violence and hatred of war.

I believe that we live in a world free from any inherent purpose where, slowly through thousands of millions of years, there gradually arose more and more complex machines, until eventually, the machines become so complex that they could feel, dream, think, and understand. The fact that the most meaningful things come from that which is meaningless and without goals makes this universe have the total purposelessness of a random pile of garbage, and all the glorious exaltation of human potential and an infinite cosmos of possibility.

That poetic enough for you?

Poetic enough, yes. I like it. I think that's a decent enough philosophy to live by.

[Torsiedelle]

I don't know how to describe my beliefs, but I like to call it "Techno-Paganism". I don't believe in gods, but I do believe that there are spirits, and other supernatural beings. I also believe in reincarnation (into other people). However I believe that many things can be explained though science, and that we can use science to study the supernatural. "Magik", and karma are also part of my beliefs, and that some people may actually know some magic, or have supernatural powers.

I'm Roman Catholic, and nothing is ever going to change that. Long life to His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI

Wait, do you worship him, or Jesus, God, and the Holy Spirit?

No silly, we don't worship the pope. Catholics, or christianity, some I don't know about the other branches, but we believe in the Holy Trinity.

Meaning that.....

Well, your appeared reverence of His Hatness could be construed as worship.

He's a member of the Teutonic order.

[Valrez]

I'm kinda a mix between Presbyterian/ Baptist (more leaning towards the baptist side)

[Herrebrugh]

I don't know if there is a God and I don't really care either. But in my belief if there is a God I think it's the Christian God. Have you got a problem with that?

So, apathetic agnostic, right?

That sums it up quite well, yes.

[Hresejnen]

I know. I was under the impression you were one. I'm so confused.

I am a LaVeyan Satanist (As Dyakovo pointed out). How you confused me with a Theistic Satanist is beyond me.

Reading back, what happened was I misinterpreted a quote of yours. Life goes on .

Oh... and that would be Catholicism. I was confirmed so I had to sit through this.

Makes no sense, as it is not supported in the bible anywhere. Not only that but that really means that you worship three versions of God, since the "Father" is god himself.

I have blood lines that relates me to them, on my mothers side.

Fascinating. Personally I'd hate to be related to one of them. What they did was horrible.

A hundred picked men to plunder and harass the pagans... entering four villages that were not warned of their coming and putting to the sword whoever they find beginning their nights' sleep.

Or maybe Teutonic Total War is just biased. Idk.
