Liminal: I knew you were going to say that!

Can't express the concepts yourself?
If we want to read other peoples works, we can. Your post is more than fifty percent the work of someone else. In addition, there is almost no relevance to what Monkeylove posted. It's like you don't know how to engage in the debate and try to reframe it into a contest of pasted quotes from the only sources you are familiar with.
LOL, you've got no clue. What a fool you are. The point I was making by quoting John Locke was that those first to defend liberty of conscience were NOT the poseur liberals but the real (or classical) liberals who are now referred to as Libertarians.
And how was I to prove that if I didn't quote someone like Locke at length?
I cannot understand what idolatry, covetousness, uncharitableness, and idleness have to do with the Monkeylove's post. The connection is so weak as to be meaningless.
Such a fool you are. Read the entire quote and think of it's ESSENTIAL MEANING to freedom of thought. Do you need to be spoon fed as well?
Why can't you offer original insights or at least personal opinions that you can defend yourself with reason.
OOOOOH yeah, original like your self loathing anti Americanism? (and don't tell me you can't be self loathing because you're not Amercan, your freedom that you love today was most fully developed in the USA). Liminal you're sooooo original. LOL, you're soooo controverial.
In truth, you are such a conformist and also extremely credulous: "Israeli soldiers routinely use Palestinians as shields when entering houses." Liminal will not provide a reference out of fear that I'll say that he isn't original.

The problem with Liminal is he doesn't get that it's Islamic Jihad, et al, that use innocents as shields not the Israelis. Try to use reason when evaluating the validity of what you read, Liminal.
