    In that case, I do not have any other comment than that I do not share your opinions.

    Er, you don't think killing everyone who holds a certain belief will eradicate that belief? Who exactly is going to be around to hold that belief after everyone who holds it is killed...?

    Now leave the 66th sub-level of human morale and get back to Western civilization, please.

    We don't practice killing everybody who has a certain belief.
    In fact, we kill NOBODY for his or her beliefs.

    Even in case that a belief is extremely harmful, we tolerate it.

    In case that there is an aggressive intent coupled with capability of fulfilling it,
    we can face the threat with rule of law or on the battlefield -
    depending on how it suits the purpose better.


    Repeat, to be absolutely clear:
    To even think of 'killing everybody with a certain belief' is waaaaayyyy out of bounds.
    That attitude is worthy only of the biggest evil assholes of history. PERIOD.

    Default How To Do ?

    1. How do you determine "everyone" who holds a certain belief ? A data mining operation ? - "1984" ?

    2. How do you strike all those "everyones" without unacceptable collateral damage ? - death ray ?

    Perhaps, THE MULE from Asimov's Foundation ?

    Regards

    Mike

    Hitler had a pretty extensive system to do it. In a Democracy(which implies voting)voter registration records,maybe.

    Moderator's Note

    I am not convinced this discussion is on track and mass killing is far from what SWC is about. As indicated by Fuch's comment.
