It may be a little difficult to browse through such a strange billingual blog, but that's why I have a clear Contents page + a link to it at the end of absolutely every post:<br /><br />http://munteanuk.blogspot.com/2008/03/en-contents-ro-cuprins.html<br /><br />@ ipo<br /><br />No matter how strange & uncomfortable it may seem to some, I do have readers of both Romanian & English. I really don't have the time & strength for keeping another blog, nor do I want to derail too much from my general 'life in the UK' theme.<br /><br />I though that my 'worst fears' were obvious from my posts...<br /><br />@ Ordis<br /><br />Of course you have appreciative words about 'surveillance technology' as long as you sell that kind of stuff.<br /><br />I'm not planning to delete your little 'advertising message' as long as you won't go into spamming, and I can only wish you well in reaching your business targets!MunteanUKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04076516846278419749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-821544239627177055.post-53865105173013857772009-08-24T13:42:16.877+03:002009-08-24T13:42:16.877+03:00SI totusi tehnologia este in folosul oamenilorSI totusi tehnologia este in folosul oamenilorOrdishttp://electric-zone.infonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-821544239627177055.post-44293171145027927362008-09-20T13:54:00.000+03:002008-09-20T13:54:00.000+03:00@MunteanUK: Perhaps you should make your blog eith...@MunteanUK: Perhaps you should make your blog either entirely bilingual, or English only.

Thank you very much for your clarification.<BR/><BR/>But no matter how close your views could be to those of a 'skeptical anti-statist atheist', I'm affraid there are countless things that will always keep you separated from an atheist.<BR/><BR/>As human beings, all atheists are worth our love and respect, not less because some of them - like Dionysios, to whom I dedicated a whole series on this blog - eventually find Christ. <BR/><BR/>However, be it 'fundamentalist protestantism' or the fanatical secularism of the EU, I don't think whe should find 'allies' among these people. We need to love them, as the Lord loves everyone, even the greatest sinner, but we don't need to make 'alliances' of whatever kind with them.<BR/><BR/>Obviously, I understand that this is just an 'idea' (for the sake of the argument :), but in my view, what works best with making allies is praying for them. It very often happens that, no matter how sincere and persistent we are in trying to convince anyone of anything, praying secretly for people is better than offering reasonable arguments to them.MunteanUKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04076516846278419749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-821544239627177055.post-33287775108686755462008-09-11T13:28:00.000+03:002008-09-11T13:28:00.000+03:00Dear BogdanYour post is very good, and conveys a l...Dear Bogdan<BR/><BR/>Your post is very good, and conveys a lot of the claustrophobia that we now live under. I am in complete agreement with your main argument.<BR/><BR/>However, I would differentiate between 'secular' and 'humanist'. Humanism (the idea that human institutions are infallible) and 'secular' (a distrust of the state as a religious institution) are very different. Humanism is the problem, whilst I think that secularism may be part of the answer. <BR/><BR/>In America the state is increasingly being controlled by fundamentalist protestantism. This is the twin of humanism. Many secularists are opposed to this, and to me they are allies of the Orthodox belief that people are fallible. <BR/><BR/>I would rather side with a skeptical anti-statist atheist than a credulous statist believer.Gregorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14729641571904025752noreply@blogger.com
