Who defends my Christian shrine?

Shrine ? Whom-ever has Christ in his heart needs nothing more.

Jews and Moslem are tearing it down. We need to rescue this Holy place!

No; "we" don't.

[Cold Heat]

So, what is it?

BANG!(double tap)

[ClancyJ]

That is a building. It is a shame this has happened but my allegiance is to God and Jesus - not a building.

Thick smoke billowing out of a compound near the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem on Monday.

Too bad it's backfiring. The Christians are ready to start the Crusades against the Muslims, not the Jews here.

That would never happen, Westerns are dying, they are bunch of idiots control by morans, like UN and all of this pc crop

I am sure you have something important to say.

You would be so much more effective if you spent more time on improving your level of education.

I am not making fun of you, I am saying that you are using an environment (the internet) where proper use of the language is the most important part to effective communication.

When you make statements like "Westerns are dying, they are bunch of idiots control by morans", then you have explicitly shown who is the idiot.

and the fact that bingo is u it means u r all weak, u have no balls to stand up for what is right or wrong, all is just : let's see what happens

Kcrack, are you on crack?

[tet68]

Bang!............Bang,Bang! Mombasa pattern.

So what would you have "us" do? Rant and rave and drool all over our keyboards? Seems you have that angle pretty well covered. Now, since you are criticizing what it seems you are saying is non-activity on the part of Christians, let me ask a simple question, as others have: What exactly are YOU doing about the standoff that is destroying YOUR shrine?

[McGavin999]

So, it's just a buiding u say, let me see: what would happened if we blew up the stupid mecca?>

Only people who have little faith in God put such great store in buildings. That building is of the earth, not of God. Frankly, we don't need a crutch, that's why there has been so little excitement over this. That and the fact that we have faith that the Israelis won't deliberately damage the church. If the church is damaged, it will be damaged by the Palestinians who ran in there with guns.

[Eva]

This church is just a building made of stone. The true church is made up of people.

[Navy Patriot]

Get a grip, man. The IDF will be as careful as necessary. Israel has an excellent record of preserving Holy places of all faiths, as opposed to the Muslims, who destroy other than Muslim places of worship if they can.

Congratulations Freepers for not taking the bait from kcrack. Just think how annoying this must be for him, the Palestines, and whoever else wants to draw Christians into this endless fight.

[Cold Heat]

I was wondering when you would warm up that weapon.....:-)

[Fifth Business]

You are missing a very serious point!!! If u belive what u do, this is the place, so where is your place? If someone come to the place u were born n just borned it down, would u just stand there and say: My alegiance is where I am?

You should lay off the AOL Instant Messaging. It rots your brain and compromises your spelling.

Say, I have an idea on that Bethlehem problem. Why don't you go tell them to stop? Be sure to bring a change of underwear and some Band-Aids (tm).
