Yes friend but God says only Christianity is THE TRUTH(tm), therefore we Christians must destory those other, false religions out of our love for God.
If the Muslims truely loved God they would let us destory them.

Bobby-Joe, you truly are the sound of reason.

Blah, blah, blah, …excuses, excuses, excuses….

....Yes, that includes god the father, son and holy spirit....

Blah, blah, blah…..

I rest my case. You can't even follow a simple direction. You are still leaving a little "wiggle room" for Jesus to enter your heart.

Praise!

Re: Get to know me first!

Try reading Harry Potter before you go acusing it of including references to prostitution and drug abuse.

I wasn't claiming it included direct references to prostitution and drug abuse; I was claiming it mentioned King's Cross station, which is notorious for prostitution and drug abuse. What part of that statement do you disagree with, you hateful Mick?

What's wrong with defending something you believe in? Whether you wanted to be a christian apologetic or not, you kinda have been with me hanging around here.

We're perfectly happy to defend our beliefs; providing limitless amounts of bandwidth for you to chitter-chatter with your fellow nitwits about Satanic texts, however, is something we're less keen on.

The question is: do you have scientific evidence for your claims?
Not that it matters...if you're happy being an atheist than be an atheist. Sadly, it comes with eternal hellfire but that's obvious, isn't it.

It seems that this impetuous young paddy would rather rely on her faith that there is no God than examine the evidence contained in the Holy Bible.

Anyways. If entry to the kingdom only required believing, I could sure do that. But why would such an intelligent being only want me to believe in him? Wouldn't he want me to do something about it?

What, like asking you to follow His commands?

Next I thought: What if christianity isn't the right religion. What if I'm faced with Baal furiously asking me why I opted for his rival Yahweh?

Then just ask him why the followers of the One True God were so successful at pwning his followers and purging his vile cult from the earth.

Against whatever you see a threat. And if that's Islam, well there then. Go defend your religion. Your god.

But Islam holds many of the same beliefs as christianity. They both believe in one god ([2.163] And your God is one God! there is no god but He; He is the Beneficent, the Merciful.). They both believe in a heaven and a hell (or words to the effect). The Koran also teaches of Jesus. Be open minded.

The Koran also teaches to behead Christians and fly aeroplanes into towers full of Jew Yorkers. If you're too open-minded, you'll start to find all kinds of rubbish accumulating in there.

Re: Get to know me first!

You do realise the Harry Potter books are fictional works, right?

Find me the reference in the Qur'an to behead christians and bomb towers. Do. I haven't found it yet. And I don't think I will...

So's the Qu'ran. Don't make it any less Satanic.

Find me the reference in the Qur'an to behead christians and bomb towers. Do. I haven't found it yet. And I don't think I will...

Friend, you do realise this is Landover Baptist Church, not Landublijani Shi'ite Mosque, don't you? Nevertheless, you go:
4:91 Ye will find others who desire that they should have security from you, and security from their own folk. So often as they are returned to hostility they are plunged therein. If they keep not aloof from you nor offer you peace nor hold their hands, then take them and kill them wherever ye find them. Against such We have given you clear warrant.

9:29 Fight against such of those who have been given the Scripture as believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, and forbid not that which Allah hath forbidden by His messenger, and follow not the Religion of Truth, until they pay the tribute readily, being brought low.

Re: Get to know me first!

Well then. They're doing what they're being told to in their Holy Book. And so are you. If everyone would stop obsessing over their differences and compared our similarities, this world would be awesome. I wish humanism was taught in schools rather than religion...

You clearly wish a lot of disgusting things, you Godless creep. You think that mooselimbs are justified in killing and raping every Christian they can find, just because their false moongod told them to do it?

So was The Satanic Verses, but those Islamists with their thin skins and delicate sensibilities put out death warrants on the author. They succeeded in murdering one translator and injuring another and the publisher.

Religion of peace, indeed!

The Satanic Verses is Salman Rushdie's fourth novel, first published in 1988 and inspired in part by the life of Muhammad. The title refers to the Satanic Verses, an attempted interpolation in the Qur'an described by Ibn Ishaq in his biography of Muhammad (the oldest surviving text). The authenticity of these Satanic verses has been disputed by the earliest Muslim historians.[1]

The novel caused much controversy upon publication in 1988, as many Muslims considered that it contained blasphemous references. India was the first country to ban the book. Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the Supreme Leader of Iran, a Shi'a Muslim scholar, issued a fatwa that called for the death of Rushdie and claimed that it was the duty of every Muslim to obey, despite never having read the book.

On February 14, 1989, the Ayatollah broadcast the following message on Iranian radio: "I inform the proud Muslim people of the world that the author of the Satanic Verses book, which is against Islam, the Prophet and the Qur'an, and all those involved in its publication who are aware of its content are sentenced to death."[2]As a result, Hitoshi Igarashi, the Japanese language translator of the book was stabbed to death on July 11, 1991; Ettore Capriolo, the Italian language translator, was seriously injured in a stabbing the same month; and William Nygaard, the publisher in Norway, survived an attempted assassination in Oslo in October of 1993. On February 14, 2006, the Iranian state news agency reported that the fatwa will remain in place permanently.[3]

Re: Get to know me first!

No, if they claim to kill people in the name of Islam, that's sick. But so are you by claiming that it's alright to call me as an atheist names, or homosexuals, or ANYONE names because of your religion. I'm sick of religion being used as a trumps card. There IS a difference between Freedom of Speech and Hate Speech, you know?

You were clearly condoning it:

So you support Freedom of Speech as long as it's only used to express opinions that you find acceptable? Bloody fascist.

Um, you don't want people to call you an atheist?!

Or you don't want Christians to point out that you're Hellbound (which you are)?

Should we lie to you to make you feel good? Is THAT what you want?

I'm sorry, but our religion, no matter how much you despise it, and our compassion for you, not matter how much you despise US, demands that we inform you of your hellbound status repeatedly until you come to Jesus.

You may hate us, but we operate through the Love of Jesus. If that means we must browbeat, or spank, or tie up, or kidnap, or waterboard, or brand, or torture you on the rack to help you see that Jesus is Lord, then that's what we will do!

By the way, little girl, you may notice that people like Hairy Homer and Star Finder don't get called lots of nasty names. Probably because THEY don't call US nasty names (like some little thin-skinned child I could mention, who likes to dish it out but cries "UNFAIR" when she gets it back). THEY respect the fact that they are GUESTS on a Baptist CHURCH Forum, and present their views in a polite and respectful manner.

You could learn from them.

Both of our holy books tell us to kill nonbelievers.

Perhaps we should get together with some Islamists, agree on our similarities, and start an Atheist Hunt.

Why do this chile always be whinin' about how mean everybody be to her? If she don't like it, she free to leave and never come back. That way, she don't get called unsaved trash (which she IS) and we don't haves to put up with her whinin'. Win-win situation.
