[SassyIrishLass]

I wouldn't call Mohammed a "pedo" personally

That is the very definition of a pedophile.

No the real definition of a pedo is trump looking at a young girl sexually at an escalator saying in 10 years he will be dating her. What was she about 6 or 8?

No the real def is marrying and sexually assaulting a nine year old little girl.

It is impossible to tell with liberals. And that is on them. If he was not serious, he needs to tell us that.

Some of them, like the OP, might just be truly evil

Oh, my first response was that he was completely serious, and indeed, I still believe that he is, until informed otherwise.

I'm a female. I am serious, completely serious.

So, as I asked, is your premise that religious freedom is not a human right?

But not at Liberty. The Christian university which dominates the town of Lynchburg, Virginia, has become almost synonymous with Trump. It sits at the heart of the alliance between the president and conservative evangelical Christians – an alliance forged in part by Jerry Falwell Jr, Liberty’s president, Lynchburg’s most prominent citizen and Trump’s close associate.

Falwell was instrumental in delivering 81% of white Christian evangelical voters for Trump in 2016. Ahead of next month’s midterm elections, that support appears to be holding up, although there has been some erosion among evangelical women. A survey published in early October by the Public Religion Research Institute found that 72% of white evangelical Protestants had a favourable opinion of the president.

In Liberty’s coffee bars, random conversations with a dozen or so students found they all backed Falwell’s full-throated support for Trump. But not everyone in the town in the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains is happy. A minority at the university, along with a few churches in town, are deeply concerned. Some speak of a “toxic Christianity”.

The latest news article I read says they have arrested several people but the "motive remains a mystery." The bomb thing sounds like a terrorist group, alright, but over in India, isn't there more than one religion that might be blowing up the other? I don't know for sure, but maybe we should hold off a bit until we know?

This from the Guardian -
Information was there' about possible attacks, says PM
We now have more from Wickremesinghe’s press conference.

“So far the names that have come up are local,” but investigators will look into whether the attackers had any “overseas links”, he told reporters.

He also acknowledged that “information was there” about possible attacks. “While this goes on we must also look into why adequate precautions were not taken.”

However, he stressed the government’s first priority would be to “apprehend the terrorists.”

“First and foremost we have to ensure that terrorism does not lift its head in Sri Lanka.”

Apparently not at Liberty University , the US or Sir Lanka.

Your cowardly inability to answer a simple question is noted.


I will conclude that you are ashamed, rightfully so, to admit that indeed, you do not support religious freedom for people you hate, ie Christians, especially evangelical Christians (black Christians who support the agenda excepted).

I've noticed.

Sometimes, if you push hard enough, they try to support their arguments.


But, they have no experience with doing so, and often don't have a clue how to even start.


Their failures are mostly pretty varied, but nearly all very, very pathetic, yet amusing.

No. They have a lot of factions in Sri Lanka. Buddhists,Hindus,Christtans and Muslims. There have been a lot of incidents and it led to a state of emergency last year. They have called a curfew for tonight in an effort to keep a lid on it. It sounds like they know who it is but are keeping a lid on it to avoid trouble. They can only do that for so long.

In October 2017, Liberty police escorted from campus Jonathan Martin, a “Red Letter” pastor, and threatened to arrest him if he returned. (Red Letter Christians are on the political left and focus on only the quoted words of Jesus. Martin had tweeted plans for a peaceful protest at Liberty.) Falwell said police removed Martin because Liberty does not allow uninvited protests on campus.

Snip

Also in April came an announcement of a “Red Letter Revival” in Lynchburg that would include a time of prayer on Liberty’s campus. Leader Shane Claiborne invited Falwell to attend. In response, Liberty police sent Claiborne a letter stating he would receive a $2,500 fine and possible jail time if he stepped onto campus.

YOu hate evangelicals and want to deprive them of their human rights as provided for in the UN Declaration of Human Rights.


Do you feel any internal conflict between supposedly being a "liberal" and being against human rights?

Six nearly simultaneous explosions struck three churches and three hotels frequented by tourists on Easter Sunday in Sri Lanka, killing at least 137 people and injuring many more, according to police and hospital sources.

Multiple fatalities resulted among worshipers and hotel guests, a police official said, adding that at least two of the church blasts were believed to have been a coordinated attack carried out by suicide bombers.

Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe met with senior military personnel in an emergency meeting. He wrote on Twitter: "I strongly condemn the cowardly attacks on our people today."​

A review of Evangelical Christianity in Sri Lanka: The Politics of Growth, by Orlando Woods

Orlando Woods’s dissertation interprets the politics of evangelical Christian growth in Sri Lanka by framing proselytization via a religious economy. Situating his study with the rise of a Buddhist political elite after the 1980s, Woods states that the “moral impetus” for the dissertation is his “belief in the freedom of religious choice” over and against the Sri Lankan state’s attempts to restrict evangelical conversions, even while problematizing some of the coercive proselytization tactics used by evangelicals under the state’s radar (p. 3).

Accordingly, Woods is impelled to better understand the ethics of proselytization and the rise of anti-Christian politics in a “geo-religious” zone marked by two centuries of colonial Christian missionary activity. In so doing, he combines two theoretical constructs. First, he borrows from sociologist Fenggang Yang’s argument that there are differentiated religious markets, some of which are regulated by the state and some of which are more privatized and informal. Second, he modifies Anthony Giddens’s structuration theory to demonstrate that evangelical Christian growth can happen in Sri Lanka despite a hostile regulatory environment because evangelicals take advantage of multiple arenas to advance their conversionary agenda.

Woods’s central argument is that evangelical activity in Sri Lanka is best understood as agency within a structural mosaic. Moving between different niche markets to increase their religious presence, evangelicals have grown in competition to other religious groups, provoking the rise of a Buddhist right that construes this growth as a threat. Woods develops the theoretical underpinnings of this economic structure in Chapter 2. Drawing from Anthony Giddens and Nigel Thrift, he emphasizes the “heterogeneity of ‘structure’” that allows for evangelicals in Sri Lanka to cross structural categories of religion, sociality, culture, and the economy in order to evangelize in multiple geographical spheres (p. 39).

Evangelical Christianity in Sri Lanka

The rise of the Evangelicals in France is also the reason for fight against Christianity.

The Evangelicals in the US are the main cause of division in the US as well.

Liberal filth like you is the cause of the division in the USA.

Nope, the evangelicals. Always trying to stir things up about abortion, gays, whatever they can. They are like the far right , pretending religious zealots.

Lying out of all ten sides of your hole. Muslims murder gays, yet that is ok with liberal filth. And I am not a religious person.

Name the one liberal who says it's ok for muslims to murder gays. Name them.

 

[bodecea]

The lovely thing muslims do with such bombs is put the nails in rat poison should you not be killed outright by the explosion.

Another fun tactic is one Muslim will blow himself up inside while another waits outside. Then as survivors flee the building the one outside detonates himself.

"The lovely thing", eh?

Yes, peaceful too I’m told.

You're told...and you believe it...especially if it comes from the Onion or the Borowitz Report.
