I think between the three of us we've pretty much settled the matter.

Shhh, I think I'm sensing one of the spin-cycles being turned on high right now.LOL! Yep, and there are certain people that really can rain on a debate!
I don't have much respect for oxford or most of the ivy leagues. Stanford is the only decent school in the bunch and I do respect it. Greatly. It's by far the best university in the world. Not oxford. Oxford can and should stay in that little inbred country full of people who can't speak english right.
You do realize that English spoken the "correct" way is British, don't you? They invented the language. American English simply takes original English words, and then spells or pronounces them differently.
And WHY are you so obsessed with Stanford? Did you take a good class there? Buy a winning lottery ticket? Something must have given you quite the experience for your money... and as to another quote of yours, it may not be the best idea to form all your opinions based on Stanford (high-level, West-coast ivy leagueish college), and a state university (NYU). Why don't you try taking some Oxford courses sometime and see what you think?
Damn I see the real deal is beginning to get posted. Like I said 50 posts ago
to stop pointing fingers a Muslims when other religious groups is doing the same damn thing. Johnny_Utah, I believe that what BillyBob is plainly giving a
example that muslims are not the only religion that believes in torturing and
violance. Regardless to the fact if it happened 10,000 years B.C it happened,
regardless to if it was okay or not, and it still relates to the churchs today
due to the fact its still taking place.
What we need to do is to step out of being in denial, and to talk about the
solution towards solving the problem. I read some of these posts, and can't
help but wonder do some of you know what you are blabbering about? Then
there is some posts that really makes senses.

I got a West Side for Eva for ya! Ooooo Ooooo!
Damn ...that is what I am talking about...!
Some good old fashioned language, rather than all the pretty fluff that we get frolicking about in DP! :lol:
I raced some fast mother****in' Compton boys in my day...Hawthorne, Inglewood, Los Alimitos...
I was the one white boy outa 9 heats (80 runners) in an Invational once in Long Beach for the 1/4 mile. I ran a 50.8. That was age group for 9th graders. I got third out of all comers and won my heat. THAT is when I was introduced to the true side of the young black man. That was in the late 80's/early 90's. But **** if some of those guys didn't smoke my *** a few years later. LOL!
I kept racing and got down to a 49.4 in my junior year and did well in other events...
Oh man, that was a LONG time ago...
I started surfing and playing basketball waaaay too much.

What about just minding your own business?I find it discrediting to the "Holier than Thou" pedestal that people put him on.
It doesn't have anything to do with that fact, only the "brilliance."
Ghandi took on a sovereign nation, an empire, an enemy bold enough to stand against you on a battlefield.
What we are facing is far more devious, guerrilla, and cowardly. Forgive me if if I found myself unimpressed with your parallel. Pacifism isn't the answer.

I don't speak for bbb, but it doesn't. It's just as inherently stupid and wrong.Here billybobama I will repeat this for you:
1. Why do you think that this makes their actions OK?
Then would relate to now as in showing how the mentalities between the two are identical - intolerance and self-righteousness.Johnny_Utah said:2. How does then relate to now?

You know, it's funny.
Throughout this thread you can tell who the prejudiced are towards Christianity. They bash Christianity for what is stated in the Old Testament and then they Bash Christians for choosing not to follow it. Seems to me that Christians are going to get garbage thrown on them no matter what they do.
Isn't the role of America, with regards to religion, been to humanize the religions within our shores? Should Christians be criticized for choosing not to stone homosexuals and electing instead to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ? Should Christians be criticized for not finding a patch of dirt in America and declaring it holy by chaining God to it-making him nothing more than a brutal landlord? Should Christians be criticized for not carrying the 16th century blood shed between the sects (Catholics and Protestants) into the 21st century?
Using history as a map, it seems to me that we should be thankful that Christianity has had the ability to get back on the wagon when it has fallen off. Instead of being a part of the audience in front of Islam's 14 century strife, we could all be immersed in Christianity's dark side along with them. But we are not.
Sorry Christians. It doesn't matter how hard you strive to rejuvinate the religion and maintain it as a vision from Jesus Christ you will always be crapped on for a few versus in the Old Testament.
No, don't even go there dude. I'm anti-organized religion, but the pope is a good honest and decent man. This, not cool dude.

I guess all these good ole U.S. Christians who have slaughtered hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis, for no reason, still have no problem proclaiming their faith to everyone.

We now know we attacked Iraq for no reason. How many innocent Iraqis have we killed and how many do we kill daily. I will use your number. Give me the number of innocent Iraqis you think we have killed in 4 years.You still did not answer the questions.
Are you trying to say that US Christians are hypocrites?
The USA has not made this a religious war. We are a land of religious diversity. I don't see how it can be comparable, perhaps you can answer the questions this time, instead of asking more questions, and explain yourself? Who knows? Only you do buddy.
