No, you have not hit any nerve with your remarks about Marxists. What I questioned was your conflation of Marxism with pacifism and then you add a war with Islam to the mix. Non sequitur is the nerve you hit. None of this equals each other in the way you have proposed.
How many Muslim countries has the US attacked? Tell me. Which of the Muslim countries with an American presence have we attacked as opposed to how many have asked for our intervention? How many did we declare war on? And the situation with Iran is one where the US is merely one of the nations involved in sanctions. From what I can tell, the Europeans are not happy with the Iranians either and sanction them too. Anyhow, nobody has bombed them and it is the Iranians who threaten to bomb us.
I assume you think that I am a crypto Marxist. And you base that on my disagreement with you? How about coming up with some actual facts besides your opinion grounded in your personal dislike of me? Religion may try to guide people away from immorality, but it does not seem to do a good job of it. Sad that you assume that all people are liars and hypocrites. Some may be, but that does not mean everyone is.
You might assume that people can live without ethics and morals, and they could, but it would be a short life. Morality and ethics exist because they make social interactions possible; that’s why people choose to live by them. There are also many who do not. We do not take kindly to them as they destroy our social fabric.
