Seems like everyday we promote Joe Scarborough and MSNBC. Why is that? Who cares what morning Joe and his 3 dozen viewers think?

If there is such a thing as ultrafundamentalist Christianity, the first denominations to come to my mind would be the Amish and the Mennonites—extremely violence-prone sects (yeah, right!).

Could?

If my aunt had balls, she COULD be my uncle.

How about we deal with the current realities, instead of what could be, Scarborough.

The “Morning Joe” hosts are represented by William Morris Endeavor boss Ari Emanuel.

Published on Mar 25, 2013
Ari Emanuel is not pleased with Brian Williams. After sitting down for an interview for Rock Center alongside his brothers — Rahm, the mayor of Chicago, and Ezekiel, a bioethicist — Ari took issue with Williams’ style of of questioning. So much so, that Ari sent a legal letter to NBC.

This historian would correct the record that Mr. Obama tried to damage a few weeks ago.

Another thing, Biggirl, when, not if, the muslims attack us here in the USA in force, I predict it will be the Christians that jump in harm’s way to respond first. Certainly won’t be the liberal news media people.

Is Joe suggesting that Christ instructed Christians to decapitate non-Christians? To rape children? To crucify children?

That remote possibility is of much greater concern to the leftists like Scarborough than the reality of real and immediately violent Islam.

The Bible doesn’t call out the killing of non-Christians. Christian heritage is one of being repressed and scorned by society without violence.

Yeah. He didn’t mention that “Ultrafundamentalist Atheists” could also turn to violence.

What is an ultrafundamentalist Christian, and how many are there in the whole US?

The sad, sad thing is, most Christians are so incredible pacifist that they believe it is a sin to get a concealed carry license and defend their and/or their family's lives. These pacifist Christians believe it is more righteous for a woman to be gang-raped and strangled with her own panty hose than to defend herself with a gun.

As a Christian who believes in the fundamental right of self-defense, this is sickening to me.

I’d like to see SOMEONE ask these idiots - “WHEN??”, WHEN have Christians behaved violently toward others because they weren’t Christians???

They would probably cite the Koresh gang, who WEREN’T Christians and were NOT violent..

They NEVER EVER cite anything but the Crusades and various un-named instances that “happen ALL the time!”...

Christian violence is pretty much exclusively defensive.

Killing adult male Muslims is preemptive self-defense.

Jesus COMMANDS us to LOVE our neighbor.

And to love our enemies, to forgive them, to return good for evil. But He also said to sell your cloak and buy a sword. We are not commanded to submit to being enslaved or murdered.
