  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Wow, I've been searching for these old posts of mine all morning.

Here was my theory on who is good or bad and why. Feel free to discuss, post your own version, etc.


Obviously, the Others DO know what's going on in the outside world, at least somewhat. Though I suppose it is possible that whomever is feeding them the info might be twisting or spinning it.

Later, I said

Anyway, what do you think the whole good and bad thing is about?

I think it's all relative

No really I think it is more about how right and wrong become situation and and truth itself is realtive to circumstance.

Taking the children (for a greater good) was the "right" choice.
End justifiying the means. Locke does that alot as does Sayid, Michael and Ana Lucia did also
Whereas Jack is very concrete and truth and right never change.

I think the Others want to find out if they can take someone who has a very concrete worldview and change them and what circumstances would require that. They want to challenge truth.

You know, Benry being on the island his whole life sort of lends credibility to that. He (and everyone else, for all we know) could have a very twisted view of the world.Who knows, maybe they think they're the survivors of a world-wide catastrophe, and the only people left outside the island have fallen into complete post-apocalyptic anarchy. Therefore anyone new to the island is looked upon as being a part of that.

I think we don't know enough yet about the Others' view of the world to really know yet. They think they are "the good guys", they make lists of "good people", they don't have a problem with killing "bad people", they say they aren't their enemies but if Sun shoots they will be. It all seems completely situational and relative, but we don't know what the situation is yet, and we don't know relative to what yet.

I have to not think about it too much or I get frustrated. I don't ever want to get frustrated with Lost!
