  • Then I will go to my grave a non-expansionist pacifist and let the chips fall as they may for the aggressors.

    • Noble but foolish. Pacifism is never a good survival strategy. Pacifism also allows for genocide and other forms of human suffering.

      If you are not able to be dangerous than you cannot be peaceful, rather you are harmless. Peaceful people have the ability to cause great harm and choose not to, thus it shows strength of will.

    • If you are a non-expansionist who accepts all other religions, then you do not know the truth.

        • Ultimately, there is only one correct religion. Since there is only one correct religion, any attempts to allow for the existence of multiple religions is to attempt to allow for the existence of false religions. False religions cannot be true, so they are detrimental to the true religion. To cause detriment to the true religion is to reduce the amount of truth in the world. To reduce the amount of truth in the world is a bad thing.

          Since reduction of the amount of truth in the world is a bad thing, causing detriment to the true religion reduces the amount of truth in the world, false religions cause detriment to the true religion, religions that aren't the true religion must be false, and there is only one true religion, it is entirely nonsensical and counterintuitive to allow for the continued existence of multiple religions.

            • The one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, and of all things, seen and unseen.

              The one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, one in Being with the Father. Through Him all things were made. For us men and our salvation, he came down from heaven:

              By the power of the Holy Spirit he was born of the Virgin Mary, and became man.

              For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered, died, and was buried.

              On the third day he rose again in fulfillment of the Scriptures;

              He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.

              The Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshipped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets.

              The one holy catholic and apostolic church. The one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. The resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come.

              To reject any of the true religion is to believe in a false religion.
