It can be deduced from this definition that the afore mentioned "virtuous inhabitants of this planet" are those who are good, upright, and moral. If I have to explain to you what is good, upright, and moral in this world, then you are truly one to be pitied. Moral, upright people do not sit on their hands and talk while thousands of innocent people are slaughtered.
> I also found it interesting that on you next post, you say you can't help but think "what would Jesus do?" Then you sign you follow-up to my post as "godless heathen." You seem quite confused. I wish you well and will remember you in my prayers----------SanJesus was a person. A good person with a good message. You don't have to believe in supernatural powers to believe that. I assure you, I'm not confused. But from reading your post, I had to wonder if you meant only Christians or only religious people by "virtuous." It really did come across that way because you used the word "heathens."
Non-religious people (who make up about 15% of the U.S. population) are one of the most marginalised groups in this country. Please try to be more considerate.
