You mean @satyadvita, that people might think it odd of a country which had recently mounted an illegal invasion to take a high moral position against another country which then did the same thing? Why, that is indeed possible. — PolitiTweet.org

.@debscrowe. The NATO charter makes no reference to any such reason for war https://t.co/YfsUI0mvrx. Also, would you maintain that no NATO member has ever committed a war crime? — PolitiTweet.org

2/3 @pieops . I'm not trying to impose anything. I have no power to do so, even if I wished do. The Christian religion is a free choice to obey a known law. By contrast modern liberal governments work hard to impose their ethical principles. — PolitiTweet.org

1/2 .@pieops. It's not really 'theory'. It's a burning practical question, as long as we are alive. Either the universe is a meaningless cosmic car crash, or it is a designed entity with a purpose and laws. If the latter, then we need to consider morals very seriously. — PolitiTweet.org

2/2 @grumpmillerman I very much try not to rush to judgement, but to seek independent evidence, and to respect the presumption of innocence. But I recognsie that if I seek justice in the universe, as I do, I must expect it to be applied to me. — PolitiTweet.org

@grumpymillerman I think the warning in Matthew 7 is not against *judging* as such (though the Christian is mainly supposed to judge himself rather than others), but against doing so in any way you would not be prepared to have applied to you. — PolitiTweet.org

.@pieops. Or maybe it is why you disagree with me about everything. I accept that a belief in moral absolutes is a choice open to us all, and that you may prefer not to hold it. But, just as I may be wrong, so may you. If you are wrong, I'd rather be me. — PolitiTweet.org
Arnold @pieops
@ClarkeMicah @GrumpyMillerMan Clear moral boundaries, as in moral absolutism? Maybe this is why you're so wrong about everything

I don't know what the word 'judgemental' means, .@grumpymillerman. I think it is generally used to refer to people who think that there are clear moral boundaries, and that there is justice in the universe. — PolitiTweet.org

4/3 The transformation of the left since 1968, and its liberation from the last traces of pro-Soviet sentiment in 1989, simply has not been understood by many western politcians and journalists. How can I help them? I try, but they do not hear. — PolitiTweet.org

3/3 I sometimes fear that the whole thing has developoed out of a joint mutual delusion about the post-Soviet world. Especially when I am told, quite seriously, that such people as A.Blair are now on the 'right' while my late brotehr supported the Iraq War. — PolitiTweet.org
