Well, the authority on truth in what regard?
Certainly, we believe we are an authority on THE truth regarding God, no?
But yes, it is not good to think others are evil or that we should be in all positions of power, however, there is still something to wanting to have people of like mind in charge, people who share our world views that also translate into the same policies.

A thought-provoking tweet I read from a guy named Rev. Benjamin Cramer: Excellent. Growing up, my preacher said similar. He taught us a lot - almost as much as my grandmother. |

A thought-provoking tweet I read from a guy named Rev. Benjamin Cramer: Christians... used to burn people at the stake for believing in a slightly different version of Christianity than themselves (they called them heretics). I shudder to think what they did to people who weren't even Christian. You seem to think that this is a new phenomenon. It's been around for more than a millennium! |

"Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test." - Robert Ingersoll
"I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws." - Friedrich Nietzsche, _Also Sprach Zarathrusa_

Education is the most reliable of all declawing. "Our Character" is mostly the result of education. |
