I feel the same way about the word "contrarian."They sure are bothered. But no, because I will think what I want, and would consider it “extremist” for another to impose their will on me or my mind to do otherwise. The best principle I’ve found as the basis for adjudicating any conflict in a pluralistic world is a libertarian notion of property rights. It is the most simple, objective and intuitive principle that I’ve come across, even though at times it may seem to fall short. As such, I would generally consider any ideology or religion that seeks to violently impose its will on another person or their property as “extremist.” That being said, I recognize others have different foundational beliefs, or no consistent principle at all that would define what is to be considered “extremist” — which I tend to think is a stupid establishment buzzword meant to label and control people anyways.
Having read your statement I can say I do not feel the same way about the word "contrarian".I feel the same way about the word "contrarian."
Your choice to continue inaccurately reading into what I'm saying is nothing but contrary.Having read your statement I can say I do not feel the same way about the word "contrarian".
You were making blanket statements. Blanket statements can never be fully accurate. Don't take it personally. It's not personal.Your choice to continue inaccurately reading into what I'm saying is nothing but contrary.
You've never met a Seventh Day Adventist before, have you? Their community in my hometown was so large they had their own private school.You were making blanket statements. Blanket statements can never be fully accurate. Don't take it personally. It's not personal.
I'm familiar with them. Ellen G White IIRC. It's kind of alarmist to say they should be labeled as terrorists though. I might agree that they are sort of cult like kinda like JW's but terrorists, not in a real sense.You've never met a Seventh Day Adventist before, have you?

It's not a blanket statement when groups like this really exist. At worst, I could be accused with fairness of lacking clarity in my initial statement, but yes, groups like this do exist globally, and the Adventists aren't the only players in that game.
They aren't in charge of anything though, it's just the desires of a relative handful of people who are hoping for that. Idealistic, not realistic.From the mission statement. They interpret the Koran for Muslims and say that those who won’t let them build their temple are “radical.” Then they say this should be a goal of the Israel to do this. I’m sure this will end great
Just spray any red heifer you see with some white spraypaint, problem solved.
