Policy towards Sister Miriam and the Lord's Believers ( 2) Tired of ads?

Policy towards Sister Miriam and the Lord'sBelievers

A more sincere woman you could hardly meet. And sometimes a little intolerant of others. Not the easiest gathering of people to get on with but hey it takes all sorts.

If they keep themselves to themselves, it's possible we could cohabit on the planet. Anyhow if we should meet them at a prayer meeting or in a gospel hall per chance what should be our policy position.

Choices same as with other factions.

On your knees now.

Miriam and most of those who remain with her are missing the point of at least one part of "Abide in Faith, Hope, and Love" ... nonetheless she and her followers are my brothers and sisters in Christ, and I will not raise arms against them... I would prefer peace, obviously, though it would probably be detrimental to our interests to give her anything more than 100ecs.

Burn that religious fanatic in her own bile. If she comes begging for peace, give it to her, but otherwise let her suffer the fate she prays would happen to us.

If she's been praying like that she probably needs to actually read that book in her hand instead of just thumping it.

Arguably, she has been. The Hebrews weren't exactly *not* a warlike people you'll remember (And JHWH was originally a hebrew tribal mountain and war god to begin with as you may or may not know, though I'd love to know when exactly his concubine/wife and two children were cut out of the story). Though we have to remember that she more than likely rewrote her bible with her "conclave bible" also.

It's possible that they could no longer tolerate the misalignment of their actions with scripture, and regrettably chose to change the latter rather than the former... You have heard that it was said, You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy; But I tell you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. must have been part of what they left out.

Some choose their own way, it seems, despite knowing it is the path of death.

But there are more productive things I should be doing...

Well, again, it's rather debatable if her actions are so misaligned with the Christian Scripture. She calls this land her new promised land. She may well consider her people to be akin to the Hebrews, and us akin to the Cannites whom the Hebrews conquered.

Either take peace for nothing, or continue the war. The same applies to Miriam as santiago; she doesn't deserve to stay in power, but we're not really in a position to remove her yet.

I think these polls would be better as single vote, without the yes/no options, just choosing which we prefer? As it is, how would you choose, if both "Seek peace only without conditions yes" and "Offer under 100ecs yes" win?

I'm quite confused too, Drogue.

And what is the difference between Abstain and Xenobanana, BTW? I'm just curious.

Leave poor Miriam alone. There are hospitals for people like her that believe in things that are not true. She deserves our sympathy, not our bullets.

You see, if the poll ends today, should we continue war (7vs3) or seek peace only without conditions (7vs3)?

Miriam and her fellow fanatics need culling. Peace only if she begs for it.

In my view, the poll results indicate the status quo continues,; there was no majority for change. So ( if still DFA) may repoll when in closer proximity
