No, not an idiot who chooses to spend the rest of their life in prison for absolutely nothing. Nothing to show for it or nothing changed by it.
More importantly, wonder how many got their pole dipped in this fishing hole of a thread?
Here's to a full basket

Suffering you don't want comes from reward taken. Temporary gain from life is not nearly as valuable as gaining true reward from service to others. Suffering brings reward later and builds surplus that never ends. Manning is suffering for the later reward. We all gain from that type of suffering.edit on 30-7-2013 by EnochWasRight because: (no reason given)

Sounds like a casualty of war. Another Al Qaeda enemy combatant waiting for his 40 virgins, since your only allusion in that post can be a reward in the afterlife. No different than the lies used to recruit suicide bombers.

You misunderstand. Here is a generalization. If you smoke, you take a reward ending in a debt. Cancer follows. If you go to the gym, you suffer first, expecting the reward after as better health. It's a concept of returns in mathematics. Yes, the person who follows the law is rewarded. As my faith indicates, we receive our inheritance for our work here to aid others walking in life. This has nothing to do with expecting a reward for harming others. Christ name is about the character we take and not the thing we worship. Faith is knowing that God can be trusted and that He is real. Believe what you want. It's your choice. I am merely showing you the truth.
Manning was allowing his own suffering if it benefits others. This is the only thing that is going to save our country from the thieves at the top taking our freedom and wealth. As I show here easily, what you take as reward becomes the debt you suffer later.
So suckers like Manning give up their lives so you can enjoy a better tomorrow as you sit in the background encouraging them. How is this any different [I]"from the thieves at the top"[/I] benefiting from others?
Your rhetoric is no different than that of a suicide bomber recruiter. You use perverted religious reasoning, point to an enemy, and have no problem seeing others lose their lives doing what you obviously will not.

You can think how you like, but I admire anyone willing to sacrifice for others. As for my own willingness to do good for others, you have no way of knowing. I find it hard to imagine how you judge me without knowing anything about me. The hatred you are referencing is precisely what you are claiming to be above with your own hatred of religion. Ironic.
The other irony is that this thread is showing the opposite of that hatred as reflected in the love Manning has for his fellow citizens. If you are looking for a solution to hatred and intolerance, look in the mirror when you decide to remove it from yourself. There is only one solution. Love for others must be expressed by actions that name you by that character. You cannot put out fire with more fire.

Unless you are posting this drivel from a cellblock full of lifers, you have no credibility promoting what you would not do yourself. Your mirror is no different than one viewed by "the thieves at the top", both of you are encouraging the sacrifice of others.

You have a very narrow definition of sacrifice.
