like some times people dont do stuff you dont like like murder because their religion says so therefore their religion should be believed and anything you dont like about it say murder by the command or actions of its deity should be ignored



its not an intelligent statement

yes it supposed to mean the threat of JudeoChristian eternal torture in hell has deterred millions of murders and thus may be the most element of Western culture!

In your opinion. I would need to see some proof. Are you saying that before Christianity came along there was nothing that prevented people from murdering each other? That is patent nonsense.

you, as a typical liberal, need to see proof that the threat of an eternity in hell deterred murder rather than encouraged it? You want to encourage me to think liberalism is based in ignorance don't you?

exactly, Rome existed as a military power always killing at will to expand the empire. Half of the people in the Empire were slaves. They elected to be slaves rather than to be killed. The Romans were charitable that way. If you don't know history you should just ask questions or read on your own.

Jesus himself was murdered so not surprising it took violence for Christians to live. Thank God the people who might murder your children are deterred by the threat of eternal torture?? See how easy it is to defeat liberalism.

So the only reason you dont kill children is because you fear eternal damnation?

Folks we got a potential serial killer here, please dont dissuade him from his delusions the results could be deadly

So only the bible prevents you from being a murderer?

intelligent literate christian conservatives know that Jesus created conservatism by challenging the Roman state and creating the individual. This led to Augustine LUther Acquinas Locke Jefferson and America. This is why we say Jesus was the first Republican. NOw do you understand?

Holy crap, that's absolutely retarded. "Jesus rebelled against the status quo, which makes him a conservative." You really outdid yourself there!

Yes, he does post nonsense. If Jesus really existed then he was a rebel.

religion is a way for the poor to be controlled

Really? Who was it who said/wrote; "Render unto Caesar, that which is Caesar's"? Of course, if you don't accept the generally understood meaning of the words, you may prefer Jeffrey Barr's interpretation, he's an attorney, not a theologian and I don't believe he can read archaic Greek but he does use polysyllabic words so he must be smart.

history is filled with rebels of all stripes who all rebelled, by definition, against the status quo. If they rebelled in favor of a powerful central govt they would be considered libcommies; if the rebelled in favor of freedom, individual liberty and capitalism, like our Founders, they would be considered conservatives or libertarians. Now do you understand?

Your posts are ridiculously easy to understand. They do not pose any difficult challenges for the intellect to deal with.

correct, Jesus was conservative Republican libertarian. He created liberty and eventually America by encouraging each individual's relationship to God. Before Jesus the individual did not matter. All were merely slaves before Caesar. In creating the individual Christ began the conservative libertarian Republican opposition to powerful liberal central govt. If Jesus had said don't give anything unto the thug liberal Caesar, he would have been killed on the spot and civilization would never have been launched.

Jesus created America? What a ridiculous statement. Where is the proof? Are you aware of the divine right of kings? You don't even have proof that shows the existence of the magic Jesus.

I show my disagreement by asking questions that you are unwilling or unable to answer. T'was ever thus with believers.

Wow you literally got everything wrong in that post what a load of crap. You must be one of those illiterate liberals I keep hearing about.

No what matter is you must provide evidence of some sort to back up your claims, which is rather hard since your claims are ridiculously false
