Guess who
Let me tell you about a fine group called Christians for Allah. They are all good Christians, but believe that Mohammed was the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, and all other Christians need to accept Mohammed's teachings, or burn for an eternity in Hell. I hope you will welcome them with open arms, they want to share Mohammed's message of peace with all of you. Enjoy, and remember, they are good Christians, so they are just like you. If you don't approve of them, you're just a racist, sexist, homophobic extremist fanatic. Here's a Koran.
Oh, geesh.
There the goes the neighborhood.
Poor analogy. Try using a religious group whose country and culture has provided sanctuary, liberty, goodwill, and respect towards Christians, as Christians in the U.S. have Jews.
To use a group (muslims), that we are currently at war with and in general have a relationship of animosity (in a great part because our nation's support for Israel, I might add), is a most inaccurate comparison.. unless, what Christians' feel for Islam is what Jews feel for Christians. Is this the case, Alouette?
A more proper analogy would be that of the "Christians for Moses" angle. Ah.. but that one does not plunge the dagger into the heart of the Christian, eh Alouette? Since Christians in this nation consider Jews their friends, it just doesn't convey the digust you intend. I do hope that disgust (for Christians) is not equal to the example you posit.
Your analogy, which, by the way, I've seen you post before, is not only needlessly offensive, but not a logical analogy. Allah is not the Jewish God, nor the Christian one.
Allah and Jehovah are two different dieties. You know that as well as I.
They are all good Christians, but believe that Mohammed was the Second Coming of Jesus Christ,
Mad Mo had nothing to do with Jesus. Read Mohammed's biography: Pedophile, murderer, polygamist, pillager, warmongerer.
Contrast that with Jesus: Kind, gentle, wise, deliberate, compassinate, teacher. Messiah and savior who "took the bullet" of God's anger and became the scapegoat for humanity's transgressions against God.
and all other Christians need to accept Mohammed's teachings, or burn for an eternity in Hell.
Please don't blame Christians for the rules that God has set, or the reward and punishment he has ordained. Not our fault. We're just tellin' ya what He's said.
I hope you will welcome them with open arms, they want to share Mohammed's message of peace with all of you.
PEACE? Very little "peace" in Islam. You know that. You aren't ignorant of Islam (I know you're not), so don't feign it. Please don't conflate Islam with Christianity, which has everything in common with Judaism.
Enjoy, and remember, they are good Christians, so they are just like you. If you don't approve of them, you're just a racist, sexist, homophobic extremist fanatic. Here's a Koran.
Ok, you made your point, and I confess that I got a chuckle out of it (and, like I've said, I recall that you've posted this before), and I can see your point of view. Nonetheless, you are trying to make enemies out of Christians, which doesn't help matters at all.
I've always had Jewish friends, and I've been entirely impressed with their morality, their sense of propriety. (At least, that is, the religious ones--not so with the secular ones, sadly.) I've defended Judaism to my agnostic friends, and opened the eyes of some of my Christian friends who held misconceptions about them.
Peace.
Judaism predicted the coming of a Messiah.
I had a Jewish friend some years back, he made the statement that "we're tired of waiting for a Messiah, and have given up looking." I was more than a little shocked by his point of view.
What is the Jewish perspective on this? Were the ancients WRONG, that there WILL NOT BE a Messiah? Why is this apparently ignored by Jews of the modern era? Have they truly given up?
Thanks in advance.
