I have the same problem, most likely since I am new around here also. Not all my posts disappear, just one so far in the "Reincarnation and hell" thread I posted yesterday. Unlike Garybeckwith, I am not smart enough to figure our how to email anyone. What gets flagged? My post had the word...

Is this maybe a question of "church and state"? Is it really possible to "not kill" as a nation, a tribe, any group? There are limited resources in the material world and even a peaceful group or state is likely to be "robbed" if there is no deterrent military/samurai force. As far as...
