    So you believe Jesus was white, i suppose.

    We could ask him. He is here and obviously dislikes Jews.

    That this is now a controversial statement - reported as "hate" - is the perfect emblem for the foundational philosophical flaw of our age.

    If we can return to a point where this statement is routine - even if easily dismissed as tautological and a platitude - human society can progress.

    If not, our species heads into the void, as will be fully appropriate. Let the cockroaches take over.

    For most people, other peoples lives tend to not be a concern to them until they have reason to do so. This isn't due to apathy, but a simple lack of concern, awareness, and priority of focus. You care for yours, I care for mine, and don't subscribe to the idea that others will, at least not to the degree you would for your own. I bare no enmity to people of goodwill, but those whom would seek to do me harm are another matter entirely.

    While I am agreeable to the idea that all lives matter, I will never shy away from asserting that American Christian lives are the ones which will matter the most to me. Does this mean I hate other lives? Not in the least, but the morally ill people reading this will intuitively decide that I hate them, because only their life matters to them and they're not Christian.
