“Christianity in it’s own right is hundreds of millions if not a billion strong...”
Only if you accept the intrinsic Christianity of Catholics and other mainstream denominations. You do, don’t you?
Let’s not play blood libel games to try and make a pointless point.
To what post might you be referring?
Both of yours - your #5 and GGG’s #10.
The fact that islamofacists are also militant creationists?(which is the truth, whether GGG likes it or not)
How exactly is that not true, when GGG can libel Dawkins over a blatantly false claim of antisemitism?
Last I checked, creationists don't go around blowing people up. So you are playing blood libel games to try and draw a moral equivalence between creationists and militant Islam. That is something that I expect on liberal websites, not FR. If you want to argue GGG on the specific points of the article, please go ahead and do such.
“Last I checked, creationists don’t go around blowing people up”
One word: Crusades.
Now I’m finished.
Oh, that's special. You gotta go back 800 years to make your point. Might as well toss in the Inquisition while you are at it.
Biblical creationists (such as GGG and myself) differ from Islamic 'creationism' and 'old-earth' creationism is this vital respect: The young-earth, biblical creation view holds that God created the world perfectly good, without pain and suffering. Those things were caused by our rebellious sin. God calls death 'the last enemy' to be defeated - it is not part of His ideal and perfect creation.
By contrast, old-earth creationists and Islamists believe that God is directly the creator of suffering and death, of pain and misery. They are part of His plan, part of his idea of a "very good" world. That is a vital difference and it is not honest for people to conflate together biblical creationists with these other 'creationists' who make out God to be directly the source and author of evil.
Not to mention the fact that Islamic creationists, who identify themselves as such, tend to denounce terrorism carried out in the name of Islam. These are the Muslims—the Muslims who stand up and denounce the Islamist terror campaign against the West—that conservatives wish there were more of. The Muslim creationist movement may have a lot of other wacky ideas, but waging a terrorist war against the West is not one of them. You would think that those who profess a desire to keep America safe, and win the War on Terror, would be keen on making these kinds of obvious distinctions. But the Little Green Football “conservatives” go out of their way to make sure this crucial information never sees the light of day.
Once again, what part of ‘no blood libel’ do YOU not understand?
You mean the “Crusades” that were in response, ie, a DEFENSIVE ACTION against invading muslims?
Down with DC/LGF liberals!
Your hands aren’t clean on this thread, either.
The only Crusades that I’m aware of are the Campus Crusades. Are you sure that people are being blown up? If so please report these dastardly deeds to Homeland Security.
I think you were finished before you started, but this is a nice whimper to go out on.
Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.
Who me? :o)
Yes, yes they are ... your militant atheist friends have killed hundreds of millions after all.
