And we are back to where we started...okay lol good luck with your tunnel visions. (HellFire Militia forum bomber)

So me thinking that everyone should be treated with respect isn't right

Thinking that you should treat everyone the same as you want to be treated isn't right.

Yeah it works for most religions in the world and has held up since the time of Jesus so I think it's a pretty solid rule to follow

[quote]religions [/quote] [quote]Jesus [/quote] Ok, now your argument becomes invalid as a whole. Don't bring religion in a gaming forum. Plus, the bible said: "Don't do anything to other's that you don't want to be done to yourself" Not: "Treat everyone how you want to be treated." AND, that rule didn't really work out for any religion, did it now?

Wow you are dumb. How do you misquote the Bible

There are two versions, dumbass. [quote]Bible[/quote] You know that that saying has been around since Confucius. Confucious > Bible. Still. Eveyone is different, so everyone should be treated how THEY like it. Not how YOU like it. The fact that you fail to see that only proves both your ignorance and autisticness.

[quote]According to Simon Blackburn, although the Golden Rule "can be found in some form in almost every ethical tradition", the rule is "sometimes claimed by Christianity as its own".[51] The "Golden Rule" has been attributed to Jesus of Nazareth, though he himself uses it to summarize the Old Testament: "Do to others what you want them to do to you. This is the meaning of the law of Moses and the teaching of the prophets" (Matthew 7:12, see also Luke 6:31). The common English phrasing is "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you". A similar form appeared in a Catholic catechism around 1567 (certainly in the reprint of 1583).[52] The Golden Rule also has roots in the two old testament edicts, found in Leviticus 19:18 ("Forget about the wrong things people do to you, and do not try to get even. Love your neighbor as you love yourself."; see also Great Commandment) and Leviticus 19:34 ("But treat them just as you treat your own citizens. Love foreigners as you love yourselves, because you were foreigners one time in Egypt. I am the Lord your God."). The Old Testament Deuterocanonical books of Tobit and Sirach, accepted as part of the Scriptural canon by Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodoxy, and the Non-Chalcedonian Churches, also express a negative form of the golden rule: "Do to no one what you yourself dislike." —Tobit 4:15 "Recognize that your neighbor feels as you do, and keep in mind your own dislikes." —Sirach 31:15 At the time of Hillel, an elder contemporary of Jesus of Nazareth, the negative form of the golden rule already must have been proverbial, perhaps because of Tobit 4:15. When asked to sum up the entire Torah concisely, he answered: "That which is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow. That is the whole Torah; the rest is the explanation; go and learn." —Talmud, Shabbat 31a Two passages in the New Testament quote Jesus of Nazareth espousing the golden rule: Matthew 7:12 Do to others what you want them to do to you. This is the meaning of the law of Moses and the teaching of the prophets. Luke 6:31 Do to others what you would want them to do to you. A similar passage, a parallel to the Great Commandment, is Luke 10:25-28 25And one day an authority on the law stood up to put Jesus to the test. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to receive eternal life?” 26What is written in the Law?” Jesus replied. “How do you understand it?” 27He answered, “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. Love him with all your strength and with all your mind.’(Deuteronomy 6:5) And, ‘Love your neighbor as you love yourself.’ ” 28“You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do that, and you will live.”. The passage in the book of Luke then continues with Jesus answering the question, "Who is my neighbor?", by telling the parable of the Good Samaritan, indicating that "your neighbour" is anyone in need.[53] Jesus' teaching, however, goes beyond the negative formulation of not doing what one would not like done to themselves, to the positive formulation of actively doing good to another that, if the situations were reversed, one would desire that the other would do for them. This formulation, as indicated in the parable of the Good Samaritan, emphasises the needs for positive action that brings benefit to another, not simply restraining oneself from negative activities that hurt another. Taken as a rule of judgment, both formulations of the golden rule, the negative and positive, are equally applicable.[54] In one passage of the New Testament Paul the Apostle refers to the golden rule: Galatians 5:14 14For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this;Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.[/quote] A little history lesson for your group stepping ass

Okay. I am Christian, and I am not trying I judge and I can admit as humans we are all judging but it also states " judge not least ye be judged!" And by saying that those that don't agree with you are wrong you are judging. But to each their own :)

I'm arguing just for the hell of it at this point man. I don't really mean that

Okay that makes a lot more sense now lol

Yeah when they start name calling or posting paragraphs I just start winging it.

Yeah I try to stay away from name calling but sometimes people get under my skin like when they start bringing mental capacity into arguments because I work with special needs children :)

[quote]sometimes claimed by Christianity as its own[/quote] True, christianity has claimed more things from other cultures. Christmas for example. The only thing you just did was posting some biblical texts. Nothing "history" about that.

That's because there are so many versions of the Golden Rule. Ok time to put you down. You first said that I was bringing up Jesus and [quote]Plus, the bible said: "Don't do anything to other's that you don't want to be done to yourself"[/quote]. When I called you out for being wrong you then changed your argument to religions world wide. I think we are done here.

[quote]changed your argument to religions world wide.[/quote] No. I just think bringing in religion is retarded as fu­ck. But if that floats your little autistic boat, that's okay.

Then just say that instead of misquoting the Bible and trying to look smart.

It's both. The bible has been translated into multiple languages, moron

Why you go to the different translations when we are both clearly English speaking Americans, I have no idea

Treat everyone the way they would want to be treated. Not everyone is like you.

Yeah and that's where your logic is flawed. You can't threat each random person the way they want to be treated. You have to be smart and figure that people want to be treated with respect.

So you're telling me people don't want to be treated with respect? I said treat them the way they wanted to be treated, most likely they want to be treated with respect. You said treat them the way you want to be treated, but not everyone wants to be treated like you. They have different tastes and opinions. Do you see my point and the major flaw in your argument?
