Don't criticize Islam.

Why in the Hell are the Ten Commandments so important to evangelicals then? Is the ACLU right?

Half the commandments are common sense that every religion recognizes. The other half probably wouldn't even be constitutional.

So...you are telling me that the OT is relevant. The idea that it isn't relevant to christianity is an uneducated lie propogated by the whole "seeker" community. If you actually believe that the Bible is the Word of God every book was inspired and has its place, even if most of it is allegorical.

Furthermore, if it was irrelevant why the sacrifice? Why not just speak forgiveness without it into existence?

Believing that the OT is irrelevant shows a dramatic lack of Christian Education in churches, and explains why UT doesn't like discussing theology with protestants.

That's all well and good, just don't criticize Islam, you could get in big trouble with the UN.

I also think that if I started talking crap about Christianity to a lot of your faces, I would end up with at least one black eye.

You probably would but then I would turn the other cheek.

This statement, and said polls, in no way prove that Islam is, in any manner, more violent, fundamentally, than any of the other major world religions.

I guarantee that if you polled the Catholics in Rwanda, circa 1996, the same questions, you would see upwards of 80% saying that they believe suicide terrorism is justifiable "in at least some of the time in defense of..."

Suicide is never justifiable according to Christian belief.

Especially Catholic which made the statement even more ridiculous.

 

[therealUT]

Suicide is never justifiable according to Christian belief.

Sacrificing your life for Christ goes against Biblical teaching? That is a new one. Combine that message (which is highly prevalent throughout the New Testament as well as the history of the Early Church) with the numerous scripture versus which are concerned with killing infidels and one can very easily use scripture to justify suicide attacks against non-believers.

But the UN resolution is like going into a gay bar, dropping trou and bending over and grabbing your ankles to prove you aren't homophobic.

The UN resolution would be like saying people couldn't say anything that offended the Nazi party in the 1930s.

Nothing in the world encourages tyrants more that appeasement.

Just the bare truth.......Now that is an analogy!

You do understand that the genocide in Bosnia was an attempt, by Christian Serbs, to eliminate Bosnian Muslims, right?

That isn't true, the Serbian Army came to the rescue of Serbians who were being slaughtered by radical mujahideen from all over the mideast.

And the claim that they killed a force of 8,000 mujahideen at Srebrenica was a propaganda piece, where are the bodies?

The mujahideen were witnessed retreating out of town the night before the Serbians arrived. Over 3 thousand of those reported killed have voted in elections since that time. (anyone wanting the truth about these events should read all the links provided in the link above.)

Some of the most brutal, horrible crimes committed in Bosnia were done by radical Muslim leader Ali Izetbetkovic and his Hanzar (Nazi SS) 5th army and
their mujahideen accomplices and much of that was committed against other muslims led by the rightful president of Bosnia, Abdic and who did not want to live under fundamentalist Islamic rule.

More than 7,000 of Abdic's troops and muslim civilians found refuge in Serbia.

The whole Bosnian myth is based on deception.

"One man who minds his own business is more valuable to the world than 10,000 cocksure moralists."
H. L. Mencken

a murdering psychopath (akin to Hitler), and his book is filled with proven historical errors, and his followers commit to either convert or destroy those that disbelieve the crap in the Koran, I have nothing bad to say about Islam.

That nails it. Just the facts, no criticism of Islam there!!

Reminds me of a Slovenian immigrant I once asked about Clinton's Balkan policy. With tears in his eyes he asked; "you do know the muslims cut your head off if you don't become a muslim, don't you?"

This doesn't happen terribly often, but I agree completely with your assessment. Good post.

That's just crazy to say there are as many radical Christians as radical Muslims in the world.

There are more radical Muslims in America than radical Christians and that doesn't begin to count the mob rule
muslims in Moslem dominated countries, or even in France, did you see any of the pictures from the riots there this past summer??

Don't let Bush read this, he will start putting people in jail over here, in his mind all U.N. resolutions must be enforced, regardless of cost.

Yeah right, Bolton was a real UN sycophant, of course your friends in the Democrat party had a hissy about appointing anyone who wouldn't bend over and grab his ankles for the UN.

Combine that message (which is highly prevalent throughout the New Testament as well as the history of the Early Church) with the numerous scripture versus which are concerned with killing infidels and one can very easily use scripture to justify suicide attacks against non-believers.

In that case we should have many Christians who have been suicide bombers. Name the first one!

Your moral equivalence argument doesn't hold water, it doesn't even slow water down.

I know I'm out of step with the times but who are the fantastic four?? Spiderman et al??

Speaking of comics, has anyone noticed the Mussies went crazy world wide over the Danish cartoons and don't seem to be all that upset over Gaza??

I have a hard time understanding when you are being serious but you should google them, read some old comics and check out the new movies. Good stuff...

I never was into comic books, even when I was a kid.

Your point about the protest sign was interesting though.
