Religions of HATE!

How you leftwingers can say that those nut cases represent the feelings of Christianity is beyond me..........

The same could be said about some right-wingers and Islam. On the contary i think christian hate speach is tolerated far too much in some cases, see FoxNews.

Some would like to express a lot, I am sure.

I wish that everybody would try to understand one-another and come to a better awareness that might eradicate some of the hate.
 
I think that there is a difference in the manner in which the media covers various Hate Speech incidents...who they paint as the aggressor and who is the victim.
 
I just don't ever see hundreds/thousands of people marching in America shouting "Death to ___________" ever. Not in a hundred years at least. Why does the news cover others doing this and not offer critical analysis? Why is their not ever condemnation?

Does our media have a private agenda? They certainly do not uphold the principles of Thomas Paine or Edward R Murrow.
 
The Christians yelled out "Death to Witches!!" for over 100 years. Not to mention killing thousands , some not even being witches. Then to top it off they stole all of the pagan holidays I don't know what the hell the Christians have to cry about.
 
What is a true Christian? In the Muslim faith we have some that believes in the teaching of Christ. Which leads up to my next question....Since the word
Christian comes from Christianity (a follower of Christ). why so much hate is
in the world? Christianity is commendably decent or generous (having a concern for others). Killing and bombing is a strange way of showing concern
for each other, and I can't leave out racism & discrimination.

That is old news, as it has been pointed out. What about now?

So you have nothing relevant to add then? I am actually curious, because perhaps you just toss out some seemingly random comment that does, in fact, relate. Continue if this is the case please...

Borrowed from Hateuy in the jesus camp thread.
Christians and just about any religion, once fanatical becomes one of hate.

I don't quite remember where Jesus ever asked ppl to kill in his name.

I don't either...and nobody eluded to that in that video either.

I heard..."There is an excitement and there is a peace to it" and I heard people wary of a violent enemy and I saw people being fanatical. But I saw ZERO violence and I heard NOTHING that indicated hurting anybody.

"This means war" at the end sounded like a call to awaking people about politics. That phrase can take many meanings and that entire movie seems absolutely biased and I wouldn't waste another second with the obvious agenda behind it.

...oh yeah, I am not Christian nor religious in any way, shape or form.

I still stand by my original comments. I am also open to any argument that might present Christianity or those involved as violent and militant as Islam. The problem is that nowhere, not even the KKK, do you see the hate and the violence that you do in Islam. Even if it is a minority, it is still an alarmingly large number of people.

Who has something else?

Astound me...

Did you see the movie? That pastor(the lady with blonde hair) wants christian kids to be like Palestinian kids. At one point one of the kids says "I'm not afraid to die for Jesus, alot of christians did it and they didn't care"
 
oh god. I saw that movie in theatres (with my Wiccan ex-girlfriend, no less). It was rather sickening.
 
I think that the assumption many people bring here that Christianity is just as extreme as Islam shows they listen to the "drive by media" :rofl .

I don't understand exactly what impact this religious group (in america) has caused. If someone here can point out kidnappings, killings, and car bombings that this "hateful religion" caused then present it right now. If they don't kidnap, kill, or car bomb then why do you care? USA is a nation of freedom of religion, I myself don't care about Muslims as residents in the US.

And even if this group was a hateful group, so what? What are you gonna do? Kick them out of the US? Arrest them? What laws have they broken?
 
Just because they are extremist within the bods of American law, does not make them any less of extremists.

So you definition of an extremist is one that has beliefs vastly different from yours?

Notice you have not presented me evidence of hate / violence.

extremist - Definitions from Dictionary.com

I notice the dictionaries cited all have somewhat different definitions of the word. Anyways, why do you care and what are you going to do about it?
 
2. a supporter or advocate of extreme doctrines or practices.

This one works. I find certain doctrines among certain Christians to extreme. So do many others.

There is nothing in those definitions that requires violence.

So what then? There are extremist liberals out there and they should be allowed to express their ideas. Aren't environmental wackos (such as al gore) extremist also? Since you picked that definition...

Even if christians are a supporter or advocate of extreme doctrines so what? Are you telling me people should not be allowed to do so? What wrongdoing is being done by these group of people?

The thread starter cited that christians get a double standard, what double standard?

I don't see your point.
 
I don't see your point.

I don't see your point. My point is that this Christian group should be allowed regardless of how radical its beliefs are as long as they are following laws. My point also being that so what? Who cares if a group is extremist, what is the big deal?

How is Al Gore an extremist? He's only relaying what most scientists already believe.

Could we pick this up tomorrow? It's almost 2 in the mmorning for me.
 
Yes! ToT! A real debate!

Okay, first of all I didn't compare them to Islamic Fascists, I merely said that their beliefs can be supported by biblical scripture. Just like Saint Augustine's arguments for the torture of heretics (which laid the foundation for the Inquisition.)

My contempt is for dangerous dogma, which consists of ANY religious fundamentalism.

I'm agnostic.

Second of all, as for her being a liberal plant. She isnt, she's the wife of the nutjob famous for "God Hates Fags".com

Then explain this photo of Fred Phelps and his wife with Al and Tipper Gore:

Not quite an answer to my challenge ToT.

Ya actually it was because when Christ arrived on the scene he said that his followers would not follow the old traditions; such as, stoning to death.

The passage you quoted would suggest that it would be just for Christ to fulfill the barbaric morality of the OT because he himself is free of sin.

Not if you read the early life of Christ found in the books about him that didn't make it into the bible called the Apocrypha. Jesus sinned as a child

This is a falsification of morality, and doesn't answer for how it was considered just to god for the people of antiquity to stone adulterers and heretics.

Ask Iran or any fundamentalist Islamic nation there is.
