No, I'm not on anything.

Christianity would not be the cause of the honor killings. The culture that these people grew up in would be the cause. It is the reason that the Christian father in my first response to you killed his daughter. His cultural beliefs were louder than his religious beliefs. Making all of these people Christians is not going to automatically cure them of their cultural backwards beliefs.

As for clergy that justify "gay rights" in the Bible - LOL! They sure aren't "Christians". That's not Biblical either.

You don't have to convince me of that. Try to convince them though. If you tell them they aren't Christians, do you think they'll take your word for it? And you think I'm the clueless wonder? LOL

As I stated earlier, honor killings ARE IN THE KORAN and part of their religion.

Yes, it is part of their religion. What you stated earlier was that it was *created* in the Koran when it wasn't. The Koran borrowed it from the culture & made it part of the religion.

Honor killings are NOT justified in the Bible and not part of Christianity.

Yes, I know & said so earlier.

See the difference?

Of course I do. Do you do chocolate bunnies & colored eggs to celebrate Easter?

Logical then to conclude that Christianity would help slow the abhorrent practice of honor killings, by removing it from their religion, right?

What a pity.

By choice you wish to remain dumbed down and you're proud of it. You just don't the obvious even when it's spelled out to you.
