My point that Christianity isn't a peaceful religion is invalid? Hmm, typical response from a believer. See what you want, deny the rest...even though history dictates and proves otherwise. Ok.
Umm, as a Christian, you are supposed to take The Bible literally. If you don't, then you don't really believe in God. The Bible, according to the roots of Christianity, is The Word of God. So, if a Christian were a true believer, they would consider the Bible as The Word of God and not just a simple "guide" that they can interpret however they want. They would believe that God's word is God's word and leave it at that. Yet, as you said, a lot of Christians use it as a "guide". Because, as I said before...
ChefChiTown is kicking some major ass in this thread, It's great stuff to watch!
The world was different then. Society has changed.
Islam is in dire straits. It's a politicized entity built on martydom and violence and clearly shows it cannot adapt to modernism.
The West has moved on since the Middle Ages, Islam has not.

No as a Christian you should take the Bible as a guide if you wish. I'm spiritual yet I don't take the Bible for it's every word. I believe in evolution/adaptation as well.
History? Sure centuries ago it was violent and part of the State. No longer. Why do you keep harping about something that does not exist any longer.
You guys are more afraid of a bumbling Baptist preacher speaking to a small rural crowd than you are an Imam spreading destruction. Go fuckin figure.:1orglaugh

Says who? Who says the Bible must be taken literally? Like I said before, and you chose to ignore, a 4th century pagen Roman Emperor and the Roman Catholic Church. Both of which were trying to control the masses with fear. Sounds familiar.
Your whole argument is ancient history.

The secret ingredient? MY BALLS
So, you just do as you wish, even though you believe in God? God commands you to live in a certain manner, but you just choose to do as you wish, as if His commands are nothing more than a guide? As if His direct order is to be interpreted in a way that you can conveniently morph to suit your needs and support your idea of how a person is supposed to live and not God's? You know, the deity you worship? The deity you believe created everything? The heavens, the earth, man, woman, beast? You believe in a God that is powerful enough to literally create everything that has ever existed, but you're not going to listen to Him when He orders you to do something?
You may be a Christian by name, but you are not a Christian by faith.
Like I said, you see what you want and deny the rest. Typical believer.
Umm, GOD says that The Bible needs to be taken literally. It's called "The Word of God" for a reason, HAHAHAHA.
Using factually accurate historic information is invalid, because it's "ancient history". Yet, it's ok to worship a character in a book that's 2,000 years old and you don't find a problem with that?
:dunno:

Is this a good time to mention that the Mosque I pissed on was ALSO a church?
Jus' curious.
And yes, I am telling the truth. The Church I pissed on was also a Mosque.

You're failing dude. You thinking is too linear.
That's the one thing about being Christian................freedom to choose your own personal path. No one commands me.
I know history. You're cherry picking and using snippets to prop up your weak argument. Fail.
the whole balkan debacle was orchestrated by orthodox christians and that was just a bit over decade ago so it's not exactly in the distant past, but it's not like the christians stand alone when it comes to creating atrocity
Haha freedom to choose your own personal path. I guess this doesn't apply to gays who get mobbed by the church when their personal path leads to homosexuality...
Just face it..if you're SERIOUSLY part of any religion, I mean serious in the sense that you are really devout, the church has got you whipped. They make you feel guilty for not going every sunday, they make you feel guilty for not donating your own money to them. They make you feel guilty for not helping out at their church gatherings and services. They make you feel guilty if you don't abide by what they believe is right i.e music, clothes, sexual preference. Yup that sure is personal freedom.
You're only 21 and have a long way to go before you gain wisdom. I used to think exactly like you. You'll change in time.
The Balkan civil war was not orchestrated by Serb Orthodox Christians. I know because I'm one.
The war had three entities, Roman Catholic, Serb Orthodox, and Muslim. Add to that centuries of Ottoman Muslim rule. Then add WWII which had nothing to do with religion but everything to do with secular nationalism. Then the post war crap with Communist Yugoslavia where the slogan to unite all the parties including Slovenes, Macedonians, and Albanians was "Brotherhood and Unity".
That failed because it was Commie crap.
Riiiiiiight... You and Vlad told me exactly the same thing, just because im not in the old folks home doesn't mean i'm not educated. You know, you really gain alot of education and tolerance in college, you should try it sometime! That is, when you're not working your dismal job at wherever the hell you work and blaming all your promblems on liberals, mexicans, and muslims.

I once saw a Muslim guy walking toward me on the street from the opposite direction. Needless to say, I turned and walked away as briskly as possible.
So do you really believe Jonah literally lived inside the belly of the "fish?"
i was referring more to the ethnic cleansing and attempted genocide side of things rather than the actual war...nonetheless there was some fucked up shit perpetrated by christians (and muslims) during that war but as to the book burner with the handlebar mustache of course he may burn the book it's his right. i've heard him mention people burning the bible and american flag as his reason to do so...apparently he never heard the jump off the bridge scenario.
....step right back outRiiiiiiight... You and Vlad told me exactly the same thing, just because im not in the old folks home doesn't mean i'm not educated.

Education and tolerance are no substitution for intellegence, wisdom and age, hope you get a dismal job when/if you graduate...
