That does not sound helpful to the Demon. The Demon wants to commit further crimes. You are infact HINDERING him.
So why exactly are you so determined to impoose your worldview upon others against their will then claim it is "helping" them? And why do you continue to engage in threats about hell? Are you unable to offer a reason why your plan would simply be the better course of action for its own reasons? Or is fear of hell all you have: "Do what I say or suffer" is hardly convincing of the higher moral ground. |

Seems that your religion views such morality as only appropriate for the lesser people--the higher-ups reject it categorically. If I were you, I'd ask why.

You are becoming more incoherent as you go.
You now admit that eliminating money is helpful to demons. You make it obvious that you are Satan and your agenda is to introduce more and more evil into the world. Now you have admitted that you are in league with demons and want to help them. Is there any reason at all that people should join in your evil scheme to eliminate money and bring ruin and destruction to the world and help your demon friends and see the deaths of 5 billion people who you've "helped"? |

This is quite interesting. Gaetan is calling everyone demons for opposing him. LOL.
Ironically, he wants to eliminate money so small third world countries can starve. He wants a society where there is slavery and where babies are arbitrarily taken from their mothers. He thinks people will work for free and that resources drop out of the sky. I think this is why high schools have the anti drug campaigns. |

When i say to help your ennemies i mean to do something positive. If you pay more drink to a man drunk, your ennemy, you won't help him, it is the opposite of what you should do, you should offer him to bring him back home.
All this means to help your ennemies: Luke, English standard version, Love Your Enemies 6.27 “But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. 29 To one who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also, and from one who takes away your cloak do not withhold your tunic[b] either. 30 Give to everyone who begs from you, and from one who takes away your goods do not demand them back. 31 And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them. 32 “If you love those who love you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. 33 And if you do good to those who do good to you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. 34 And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to get back the same amount. 35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil. 36 Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful. |

Ah, so we're supposed to impose our will on our enemies, and justify it by saying that we do it out of love!
Gaetan is certainly living up to the highest of Christian ideals. Of course, that's something like saying you smell as sweet as a cesspool.... |

No, I think we can pretty well. Ripping babies from the arms of their mothers=bad. Causing 5 billion people to starve to death or die in bloody war=bad. Basing economic theories on delusions and fairytales=bad. Seeing generation after generation broken under the yolk of forced manual labor and subsistance farming=bad. In contrast, allowing people to live their own lives=good. Paying for what you get=good. Technology that keeps people alive and lets them live happy, fulfilling lives=good.
But we're the enemy, and you've already stated that you consider forcing us--through violence, if necessary--to comply with what YOU think we should do is perfectly acceptable to you, so I doubt any of this will get through to you. |

Brilliant counter-argument! An ad homonym attack, completely lacking in substance.

Why would we want to get rid of one of the very few things people agree on? The value of money is one of the few things that makes us equal. A dollar in my pocket is the same as a dollar in your pocket. I see no compelling reason to abandon one of a precious few civilizing influences in humanity.

People don't have to agree. But it's still better than not having money. Show evidence that most people think money is stupid. Most people on this forum disagree with you.
And what is wrong with that? Who said everything must be equal. The society you propose has slaves. You think it's fair and equal for someone to be a slave? So why does your proposed society without money have SLAVERY? |

Where's your survey?
Those aren't lies. You based your proposal of a no money society on a book written by Sir Thomas More called Utopia. The society in the book had slaves. Are you saying the book's fictional society didn;t have slaves? I think you, Gaetan have told so many lies and twisted so many words that you cannot even remember what you are proposing at this time. |

Wow, that is really scientific. Even if that survey were valid (it's not), you still have almost half the people not wanting to abolish money. That alone is proof that your system can never work. |
