Re: Muslims hilariously troll the hell out of ISIS after their call for new jihadists
And if one were to follow the bible literally their actions would make the most fundalmentalist Muslim seem like a schoolgirl. Rape, torture, slavery... it's all there.
The Old Testament, sure, and no, the followers of the Old Testament would not make a Muslim seem like a schoolgirl, they were pretty much the same, after all, Mohammad stole a lot from Judaism, particularly all the good verses that are abrogated by the later verses. But, just in case you didn't understand, I was talking about Mohammad...he was the original Muslim fundamentalist who makes ISIS look good. So, let's just make a comparison here.
Just to be clear, I am not a Christian.
Please show me where Jesus Christ married a 6 year old, sexually abused her until she was 9, then raped her. Please show me that Jesus Christ kept sex slaves. Please show me where Jesus Christ personally murdered people, lied, stole, and raped his way through what was then called Palestine. Yep, some of what he said edged towards violence, but if you can prove to me that Jesus Christ was the same as Mohammad, then I will concede the point.
I don't like any religion, none of them. Religion is a social construction for social control. It's one man deciding how the rest of society should live according to what he thinks and believes. But please, don't try and pretend that Christianity and Judaism today is the same as Islam. What people do not seem to understand, is that Mohammad ensured that Islam cannot be reformed (unlike Christianity and Judaism). If Islam were to be reformed, then it would no longer be Islam.
The bottom line is that to be a Muslim, one must (a) Believe in one god, called Allah, (b) believe that Mohammad was god's messenger (c) believe that Mohammad was the most perfect man whoever lived and (d) seek to emulate Mohammad's words and deeds, his life. To follow Mohammad is to follow the first, original Muslim fundamentalist terrorist, ergo, to pretend to be against Muslim terrorism is to be against Mohammad deeds and words. Muslims who are decent people, when they read the Koran and Hadiths and Sura and know who and what Mohammad was, leave Islam, even under the threat of death by being an apostate. Don't tell me about all the decent Muslims who are lovely, law abiding people - that nice, smiling Muslim follows, adores, loves a man who was a pedophile, mass murderer, rapist, sex slave owner, slave trader, thief, liar, misogynist, wife beating psycho. Does that not tell you something?? It tells me a lot, it speaks to that person's character.
Yep, people during the Old Testament era owned slaves, probably sex slaves, some were thieves, liars, wife-beating mysoginists and killers too, and during that era, Judaism and Christianity were as bad as Islam. But none of them claimed to be a prophet whose personal words and actions were sanctioned by god and everyone must follow him. The Old Testament god was vicious, vengefull and Judaism and Christianity reformed. The religions today are not the same.
Anyway, I am getting to the point where I don't discuss religion much with people because many people today just don't understand and will never understand. The older I get, the more I keep my opinions to myself because it is just not worth it. It is the reason that I always read here, a couple of times a day, but don't post much. I have educated my son and daughter and my four grand daughters and that's all that matters to me really. Of course, sometimes I just can't help myself!
