"No, I'm saying that "For Religion!" Is No longer an acceptable excuse in these modern Times"

"Hear Hear!"

Ah, so your advocating a totally secular world?

"No, I Just don't think that Religion should be used as a weapon."

Committing an immoral act under the guise of Religiousness doesn't negate the immorality of it.

"To answer the silly Prime Minister's question, God gave us this Earth, and God gave us this life. God gave us a right, and that right is to enslave the unworthy, to put down the abominations he mistakenly created, God gave us the right to own another man to right his wrong, and rid the world of the unworthy human beings."

"It is Every man, woman, child and Non-Human's right to have freedom. Don't you Bring Religion in as an excuse to be extremely Crappy to other People, That excuse has outstayed its welcome"
- Sir Nigel.

What if said man woman or child chooses to be enslaved?

"It is unfortunate Shrilland's citizens have had their thoughts and minds clouded by your drivel and lies. Our Lord and Savior made this mistake to test Humanity, and all those who do not enslave and oppress them have failed His holy test."

OOC:
Teccor, stop. Go away before you embarrass yourself even more.

You can no better infringe your own rights as you can infringe the rights of others. Suicide is illegal, after all.

"No, I Just don't believe that Religion should be used as a weapon."

It's use as a weapon is yet to come up what your describing is simply following ceremony the more you say the more it seems that you are advocating a world with one uniform culture and one political ideology.

Committing an immoral act under the guise of Religiousness doesn't negate the immorality of it.

And yet morality is not a concrete thing if it is in fact determined by the Divine Command then no action condoned in texts may be considered immoral.

No person would ever choose enslavement. Such words are excuses invented by masters as a way of not feeling guilty about owning slaves.

OOC:
Teccor, personal attacks on other players are against the rules, unless you want a moderator warning, I'd suggest you stop. And have you ever heard of in-character and out-of-character? Obviously you know. Go away before you embarrass yourself even more.

OOC: Learn to make the distinction between OOC and IC before you groundlessly accuse people. Do you see an OOC tag on that post? Me neither. It was an IC post, more than likely an excerpt from an OP-ED piece from a local newspaper.

Also: I believe you just broke the rules yourself. "Using Mods as a Weapon" If I recall correctly.

"If you Think I am saying that You are both Paranoid and Deluded, And I think saying it is the "God Given Right" to have slavery is using religion as a weapon."

I didn't use moderators as a weapon and I based your response due to calling me hornopolis as an attacking post semi-OOC-semi-IC.

"If you Think I am saying that You are both Paranoid and Deluded, And I think saying it is the "God Given Right" to have slavery is using religion as a weapon."

Paranoia is justified when someone demonstrates instability and a desire for cultural purity. I think it's reading directly from the texts.

OOC: Yes you did. "Unless you want a moderator warning" constitutes as "I'll get the mods after you!", which is precicely what "Mods as a Weapon" means. How about re-reading the One-Stop-Rules-Shop before attempting to argue them? Stop embarassing yourself.

Also: Your nation is called Hornopolis. What am I supposed to call you, "The Horny Empire"?

OOC:
Everyone realizes that the person speaking to you is a Captain and a 1^st Mate, not the Queen or the Aristocrat, right? My government is abolitionist.

@Teccor, I never said I was going to call the mods, me saying that was just me telling you to calm down before comments that I take as an attack could get you a moderator warning. If you don't know what to call my IC nation, look at my sig, why don't you.

Indeed, paranoia on your part would be justified in your case, as though our deep allies the Floor Kippers may not be able to fully appreciate it cultural purity will one day be forced to come about, and we are currently using the field in attempts to tip it towards our advantage.

As for religion, we care not for the words of heretics and unbelievers, those who would worship greater beings instead of being challenged to constantly improve their own species to become kin to such.

"If We are Talking about, Lets say, The God Of Christianity, What were Moses and His People before all that stuff with the Red Sea?"

And yet your implication is limited. The Old Testament not only authorizes but goes into detail on the tenets of slavery.

No person would ever choose enslavement. Such words are excuses invented by masters as a way of not feeling guilty about owning slaves.

What if let say to steal the punishment is slavery and this man is aware of it and he steals any way?

Paranoia's justified when you don't know what your enemy wants. It is clear the WASO wants you dead, so why are you being so paranoid?

Those that commit crimes are convinced that they can get away with it. They would not steal unless they were convinced they couldn't get caught.

I'm sorry I find you amazingly boring and shall conveniently modify what I've heard.

Derp... our deep allies [are] the Floor Kippers Derp... cultural purity will one day ... come about, and we are currently [trying to spread it.]

OOC: Okay. There, that was easy enough, wasn't it? Almost 100% of arguments and conflicts stem from misunderstandings. As a rule of thumb on these forums, it's better not to even mention moderator intervention. The mods are extremely touchy about it. (Believe me. I know first hand how touchy they are.) Your posts were getting to be one-liners with no real meat, so I assumed you were starting to troll. If that's not the case, I apologize. Continue on.

Your understanding of justifiable responses is somehow lacking, I blame the ganja.

[Shrillland]

OOC: 2500 posts. Wow... anyway,

IC: Changing what people say to fit your description. How Despotic of you, maybe that's what the Des in Des-Bal stands for.
