To help you better understand my arguments and beliefs, I present the following basic premises:
- It is wrong to initiate violence or fraud against a person or that person's legitimate property.
- At the minimum, a person ought to aid others when the cost and danger of doing so would be trivial.
- There is a God, and Jesus is the most humanly-knowable revelation of Him.
My posts and comments should all fall under this basic moral, ethical, and spiritual framework. This should help make sure that we do not "argue past" one another through the course of discussion. I do, however, reserve the right to modify these statements for clarity.
