But you’ll never GET such an apology. John is such a PRIDEful Xtian (oops,
that’s a sin, innit), that he’ll never admit that his religion started out
of (i.e., is based on), and continues to breed, violence and death. He’s a
Xtian Bigot, and nothing you argue will ever change his bigoted mind.
|
As far as Christianity breeding violence and death, I don’t see it.
|
I second that!
|
Hmmm... let’s see, the KKK, neo-Nazis, yep no Christians breeding violence and
death at all.

People aren’t perfect, and to expect Christians to act perfectly is a little
over the top. And the “Christians” who persist to act in evil ways are
rebuked by other Christians.
|
Which (in a world wide perspective) is certainly not the case with some other
religions.
|
Are you serious? (Personally I think you are being sarcastic but I don’t know) I
mean granted many living in dictatorships can’t publicly decry evil behaviour
for fear of execution, but many people of those religious who live in freedom
rebuke evil actions.
| |
Further, the above statement shows a complete lack of knowledge regarding the
number of persecuted Christians world-wide. They are the VICTIMS of violence
and persecution; not the other way around.
Also Christian societies lend themselves to the freedoms and debates allowed
within this news group. You don’t see millions of Americans oppressed by the
religious systems (including atheism) of China, India, and the Middle East.
|
Millions of Arabs were not opressed by dictorships only a few generations ago.
Afganistan had a thriving film industry prior to the Taliban taking over. Saddam
was elected and overthrew the government from the inside out. China was one of
the most advanced societies prior to the Communist revolution. On the opposite
side Eastern Orthodox Christianity did not prevent the Soviet Union.
