Zone1 Trans Supporters: If you can be Trans-gender, can people also be Trans-racial or Trans-age?

Ever hear of the Crusades? How about the Inquisition? Torquemada?

Are you just going to apply a reaction click and not reply?

I must commend you for using the spelling, Moslem. It shows you may be a bit educated. May be, because the rest of your post seems to be, "fiction based on fact".

Everyone slanders everyone, yet if I believe it is everyone, not some people of each group, then I am stereotyping.

I am pretty sure you are referring to some people from each group.

Kind of hard to slander Moslems. Many Moslems are pretty rotten people. And as you know, there are many types of moslems.

My post was addressed to someone's false statement.

More people have died in the name of ORGANIZED religion than for any other cause. Their prime tenet is peace and sanctity of life---unless you disagree and then they kill you.

Well said.

 

[GLASNOST]

you are not very bright....it seems you have somehow confused religion with the love of God

Yes, I ought to have been demonstratively clear that all of that death and destruction is (and has been) achieved thanks to the love of God.

Theology doesn’t agree. Jews represent humanity as all of us persecuted Christ. I’m sure random small Protestant sects say this, but you can’t look at ungoverned offshoots for things like this.

Everyone slanders everyone as far as laypeople. The Pope, Cardinals, etc don’t.

Okay, and?

If you say “I don’t believe”.. are you called a Christaphobe, hateful and a bigot? No. Exactly my point.

Okay, and?

When? Nearly all wars claimed in the name of religion in Christianity have been family or land wars, and Christianity was just used as a front. Any historian will tell you that

I have resoundingly debunked your statement "Christianity doesn’t do that" and all you have in response is to tip-toe between the thorns looking for excuses. If facing reality shakes your faith then you shouldn't look.

Excellent examples that I failed to specifically include in my post. Thank you!

Nope, you have your beliefs and I have mine. I have no reason to discuss mine with you beyond the fact that more people on this earth have died due to ORGANIZED religion than any other cause.

People confuse a religion and the people who purportedly follow them.

What is notable, here, is that Moslems are known to commit atrocities because they AREN'T following Mohammad, whereas Christians commit atrocities when they DO follow Jesus. How do you like them apples?

Theology doesn’t agree.

Theologists haven't invented their respective denominations any more than English Professors invented the English language. Their job is nothing more than sweeping and tidying up.

Everyone slanders everyone...

I don't ... and I'm an Agnostic, but Christianity (the subject of this dialogue) does.

 

[GLASNOST]

Ever hear of the Crusades? How about the Inquisition? Torquemada?

Yes, how about that!

... They aren’t near other things that have caused hundreds of millions more deaths

So, playing what-about-ism is OK? Is this how Christianity conducts its damage control?

All people who are christian do not slander everyone, hence you are now a hypocrite.

Recognizing God is a first step in becoming a Christian. God's plan is certainly not clear while you take your first step.

We're speaking within the confines of 100% now, is that it? Let's see if we can make that apply to any other subject, shall we?

... you are now a hypocrite.

Isn't this a Clean Debate Zone? Hmmmmm I think you're firmly off the rails.

I see. So, recognizing God excludes you from becoming a devotee of any other creed, huh?

God's plan is certainly not clear while you take your first step.

If God doesn't know what he's doing then don't expect me to be his mentor.

That is utterly stupid and ignorant.

You need to walk at least ten steps behind me at all times.

I am flattered that you imitate me.
