I said:
The intraprotestant religious civil wars of the early 1600's (eg in
Holland) were largely a battle between "free will" and
"predestination". Disgusting ...

However, it matters.

??? what do you mean?? What's "it"?

The battle between "free will" and "predestination", and the winner of
said battle. In many ways, we're going through this phase again.

That "battle" will always go on, I'm afraid. It's the level of violence
that is deplorable. IMNSHO, while there is some predestination/fate, it
is a "manifest destiny" to consciously steer our free will.

Says areligious, if not antireligious me.
I do hold "sacred" the principle that everyone should be able to
follow their own principles, as long as they don't hurt anyone else.
Discussions are fine, violence is taboo.

What about (non-violent) persecution?

Falls under "violence" in this context, see bullying ...

Um, no, it doesn't. Bullying *is* violence.

Then, I guess, I don't see the difference between non-violent persecution
and an honest discussion of differences of opinion.
