[extropy-chat] Just curious, it's not natural!

Agreed, it is sad, but it may be possible to reach a modus vivendi with more optimistic and openminded xians, that is, without misleading them into thinking we accept their faith. We can say, for instance, " 'forgive thy enemy' was and is an original and unusual precept", without actually committing to it-- my long & very unpleasant experience with those at the bottom of society has demonstrated they respect only strength, and forgiveness is perceived as weakness.
