Gunner Gatlin, SASS 10274L Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 It's up to those various religions and faith to decide it to happen. Seems in this modern atmosphere there are a couple groups that are willing to let that happen. Any more than I can say is that it would be proselytizing and evangelizing and that is not allowed here on the wire. GG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Rich Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Looks ta me like one of those "religions" on there is not really interested in "coexist"ing. Just sayin'. KR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Nelson Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Excuse me, I don't get it... The revised sticker is made of all star and crescent images, which is a symbol of Islam. Right now several Islamic groups in Iraq don't seem to be interested in coexisting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subdeacon Joe Posted June 22, 2014 Author Share Posted June 22, 2014 For all the various religions/ideologies in that "Coexist" bumper sticker to really coexist, then all must agree on it. As the saying goes, "It takes two (or more) to make peace but it only takes one to make a war." And the Star & Crescent has been at war with the west since about A.D. 700.

There are a couple of groups, maybe even a few, but as Joe pointed out, it only takes one that isn't willing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Just another well thought out lefty idea. Looks good on paper, but won't fly worth a damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subdeacon Joe Posted June 22, 2014 Author Share Posted June 22, 2014 I should add that I did a bit of editing on the image in the OP. I cut out the rather bloody photo, one I'm sure we have all seen, of the ISIS thugs shooting, wholesale, people in a roadside ditch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Bullweed Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 The basic problem with the COEXIST idea is that each group would have to water down its beliefs and rhetoric for it to work. Each religion says that it is the ONLY way to heaven, nirvhana, etc.. If it is the ONLY way, then the other ways are opposed to it. It would be like saying that I am a Y-political party supporter. I hope my person wins, and I hope that your X-party person wins too. In some things there is only one exclusive correct answer. It cannot be more than one.

I'm going to try very hard to not invoke the wrath of the SASS powers and get this thread pulled. I would assert that your premise is flawed. It assumes that I somehow require you to believe as I do for my beliefs to have credibility, for me to "win" in the matter. That is not necessarily the case. As Thomas Jefferson stated, "But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no God. It neither picks my pocket, nor breaks my leg." So long as you don't force your beliefs on me, and I don't force mine upon you, we can coexist. Therein lies the problem that Joe alluded to in his initial post.
