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.
|
Ah, I see. So you are willing to define a group by the few extremists in
it.
|
And where exactly did you pull that notion from? I was simply pointing out
that Christianity has just as many wacko extremists as other religions.
|
I think from your equivocation of “Christianity” with “Christians”.
Christianity as a religion doesn’t breed violence and death. Wackos calling
themselves “Christians” might. There is a distinction there.
| |
| |
I guess then that you wouldn’t have a problem calling Islam a religion that
breeds violence and death, either.
|
No that would be you at the bottom of this

This is what worries me:

That is becuase most Palestinians only know what their ‘government’ tells them.
Just as when Bush says country X is a threat and most Americans support him,
when Palestinian leaders say their ‘country’ is being attacked by ‘evil Jews’,
people support ‘the ultimate sacrifice’ to defend their ‘country’ from ‘evil’.
| |
There is quite a difference between Christianity and its extremists wackos
(who are always summarily condemned by Christians), and Islam and its
attitudes towards its own extremists.
|
No there isn’t really. The only difference is most Muslims actually follow the
tenets of their religion while most christians conveintly ignore the stuff they
don’t like. Both religions are based on the same fundamental belief of doing no
harm to the innocent. (There are both derived from the same ancient religion
after all)
| |
Why won’t the Muslim world flat out condemn terrorism and work to end it?
|
Most Muslims that live in freedom and know the truth do condemn terrorism that
results in the killing of innocent lives, as it is against their religon.
