In Response To: Re: Follow the path. (Yossarian)

: Who says anyone wants redemption? Redemption is for sinners. Sinners are
: those foolish enough to believe they should be punished according to
: someone else's moral structure...

Not to stand between you and someone making a jester of faith (and by extension to your reaction, of you) -- but courtesy of dictionary.com, redemption is the act of redeeming or the condition of having been redeemed and sin something regarded as being shameful, deplorable, or utterly wrong. Extending these to incorporate the restriction of someone else's moral structure is a deliberate flaw introduced on your part to weight the argument.

Have you no moral compass of your own?

Have you never, by effort, mistake or inaction, strayed even slightly from it's guidance?

In short, who are you to redefine 'sin', then 'redemption', then decide whether or not anyone may seek it? Who are you to impose your moral structure on me?

I would say on us, but then I would be made weak by the same flaw as yourself. I hope you understand the difference.

: ...and paths are for rats, and other like vermin.

Hence "eat the path". Hence "You are Destiny." A fairly major thread in the Infinity storyline, I would warrant.

Haven't you been paying attention?

Constraining the definition of a concept like 'sin', 'redemption' or 'a path' to something morally indefensible is quite frankly a lazy debating technique. The Genos are nonsense, but if you're going to take umbrage, do it properly.

Secondary to this, all information is equal. If you don't enjoy observing someone make a mockery of rootless faith, then don't click on the thread. I find such activity affirming -- it lets me know that when I do have faith, it is in something real.
