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.
|
Neo-Nazi’s and the KKK are not Christians at all! The term means one that
follows Christ and His teachings. There is no evidence in any of Christ’s
teaching that He would suppport the actions of these groups, in fact their
actions are entirely counter to the fundamental teaching of Christ.

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.
|
In Christianity God is seen as “God the Father” a God that you can personally
know and one that acts as a human father (love plus dicipline). In Islam, for
example, Allah is not personally knowable and his character is more
“dictatorial.” Articles on this subject fill many complex pages. The bottom
line is that the societies where many people are uneducated/illiterate and
taught the dictates of Islam...those societies tend to be MUCH MORE subject to
becoming dictatorships.

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.

Point well taken....
