I think you have to read the Bible again and see when and why does God agree with wars.Originally posted by Rev. M. Rodimer View PostSo you agree that the Bible does not agree with your false claim that "God is against war"?
And I addmit that I may have been mistaken.

Re: War on Atheism!
I like how 'Brother Current' seems to shift all blames. He claims Americans never fought in the crusades. Of course, they weren't, history tells us that at the time it would have been inhabited by Incas, Aztecs and Mayans, generally. Oh and not to forget Native Americans, you know, the ones who were killed for a landgrab? Well face it, you're all living on stolen ground, if God gave it to you it would have been yours initially.
Secondly, where he says no Americans fought in the crusades. He obviously means White Caucasians. And then he should say Christian. Now, unless almost every book I have ever read has lied to me (I have read the Bible) Catholic Christians, who read the same allegedly 'good' book as all other Christians, invaded the Holy Land. They claimed this was to reclaim the sacred city of Jerusalem. Well, it really wasn't - this was a facade. Gold, treasure and SLAVES were brought back, and every country that fought in the crusades were rich. Obviously it was so prosperous because there were three!
Anyway, to the point. The title is misleading. It preaches that Christianity never started a war. They have. And i actually laughed at the 'if Allah exists ... if God exists part' Surely that was biased?
Now why would a religion that teaches peace and love seek to segregate people. If I was a healthily practicing atheist (Which I am. Yes.) and lived a clean life with no sins, why should I be denied entrance to Heaven by an endlessly forgiving god? The answer:He is not forgiving. A god that condemned millions to death in the great flood. Genocide. Who killed all who so much as touched the Ark of the Covenant? Fickle. Then suddenly God changes to a loving entity with the coming of Christ and the New Testament? This is easy. EASY. Religion has always been a form of social control, and it has worked fantastically on everyone here, save for the few who are 'Saved' from being this forum's class of Saved(-TM-). In The Old Testament's days people loved to follow religions encircled by force and violence, a driving force. This religion had it's following, therefore it could change. To attract more, it softened. And it's worked hasn't it? It's fooled the middle 'Bible Belt' of America. I cannot believe that some states are sobre, when Jesus Christ himself drank wine.
This forum. All threads I have seen have been very ill-informed. Brother Current himself has made sure to bash all other religions without a scrap of proof. This emote itself is RACIST!
I'm sure the replies will flood in, with 'God save you' I even hope I get a section in the prayers board. Truth is, if this is God I don't think I want him to. If behind the pearly gates wait this forum's community, I'd rather sit beside Judas Escariot and burn for eternity. Therefore, you need not damn me, I have damned myself. In my opinion, It's what you do on this Earth that really matters, and all this faith, and most faiths seek to alienate and hide wisdom from the masses. (save for Buddhism ,Taoism and Confucianism, they teach wisdom, they don't hide it.)
In conclusion,this forum's system reminds me of The Dark Ages. Any wonder why a time governed by religion was called The Dark Ages? I do. The religions that covered people, thinking for them, stopped them from developing. Technological development actually fell and stagnated throughout. Why this forum likens to The Dark Ages? This Saved™ bollocks(Bollocks is not a curse word, i'm VERY well schooled.) is just like pennance, how you could be more likely than another to enter Heaven by paying money (you don't have to pay money in this forum, but you do have somebody tell you if you can be saved or not. Therefore they think for you). Thankfully Today's world is showing a decrease in religion. The Bible teaches 'Love thy neighbour' therefore don't support the war effort Brother Current, that makes you a Heretic, not that I care, for I am, because I doubt that God exists. Many times i prayed for signs, just to have a little scholarly study, but no apparitions. Maybe i should take what Joan of Arc was taking. Furthermore, anyone who has played Chinese whispers knows it distorts as it is passed between person to person. Now play that for 200 years with a story, and you'll get the New Testament. The first book of the New Testament was wrote 200 years after Jesus's death. I rest my case. Fire away and 'forgive' me.

Everyone else does it. Is there a reason why you should be exempt from the elements of style? I doubt that you can manage to give up your sins, that's why I requested something achievable.

Re: War on Atheism!
The term is also used to describe contemporaneous and subsequent campaigns conducted through to the 16th century in territories outside the Levant usually against pagans, heretics, and peoples under the ban of excomunication for a mixture of religious, economic, and political reasons. Rivalries among both Christian and Muslim powers led also to alliances between religious factions against their opponents, such as the Christian alliance with the Sultanate of Rum during the Fifth Crusade.
The crusades were never referred to as such by their participants. The original crusaders were known by various terms, including fideles Sancti Petri (the faithful of Saint Peter) or milites Christi (knights of Christ). They saw themselves as undertaking an iter, a journey, or a peregrinatio, a pilgrimage, though pilgrims were usually forbidden from carrying arms. Like pilgrims, each crusader swore a vow (a votus), to be fulfilled on successfully reaching Jerusalem, and they were granted a cloth cross (crux) to be sewn into their clothes. This "taking of the cross", the crux, eventually became associated with the entire journey; the word "crusade" (coming into English from the French croisade, the Italian crociata, the Portuguese cruzada, or the German Kreuzzug) developed from this.
From the 17th century until the late 20th century, the term "crusade" carried a connotation in the West of being a righteous campaign, usually to "root out evil", or to fight for a just cause. In a non-historical common or theological use, "crusade" came to have a much broader emphatic or religious meaning—substantially removed from "armed struggle."
In a broader sense, "crusade" was used, in a rhetorical and metaphorical sense, to identify as righteous any war that was given a religious or moral justification.
A June 2, 1944 message to Allied troops before the Normandy landings, began with General Eisenhower stating, "Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Force! You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months." His later bestselling memoir was entitled Crusade in Europe.
Ardent activists often referred to their causes as "crusades," as in the "Crusade against Adult Illiteracy," or a "Crusade against Littering." The term may also sarcastically or pejoratively characterize the zealotry of agenda promoters, for example with the moniker "Public Crusader" or the campaigns "Crusade against abortion," and the "Crusade for prayer in public schools."
In line with the traditional usage George W. Bush in 2002 described his anti-terrorism campaign as a "crusade" but was compelled to repudiate the term when it was pointed out that the word, because of the historical events to which it referred, was regarded as highly offensive by Muslims and Jews.
I'm sorry.I had no other source for now but Wiki.But they are right.
