<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1261290, member: 112&quot;]Hmmmm - does that mean that you would refuse to buy say Panda coins or any of the modern silver coins that come from China. That is communist China we are talking about and they most definitely are selling those silver coins to make a profit. Any of you buy them have a problem with helping to support that regime ? And bear in mind, we are not talking about the past here. We are talking about what goes on right now, today. But never yet have I ever seen a single post condemning anyone for collecting those coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>And what about other things. What would any of you do for a chance to own a gun that used to belong to Billy the Kid ? Or his hat, or some of his clothes ? Or maybe the gun that killed Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley or Kennedy ? What about any gun from the old west - any idea how many people that gun killed ? </p><p><br /></p><p>You can say the same thing about virtually any object from the past, and even many objects from the present. What would any Christian do for a chance to own a piece of the True Cross ? And yet what happened on that cross ? And what about ancient Roman coins ? What did the people who made those coins do ? But I never see anyone hesitant to collect these things, nor do they object to anyone else doing so.</p><p><br /></p><p>The things are just things. In an of themselves they possess no evil, nor do they even represent evil. Only people can be evil. And perhaps, just perhaps - it is evil to judge others because they collect things.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
