Asshat. Making a leap to an alternative universe is presumptuous and contrived.
There are No Christians dominance over all, to fulfill their worldview of any sort of supremacy nor seeking a subsumation of anyone’s religous or agnostic beliefs.
I will give you $1,000 dollars if you can name 100 persons or groups whose lives are of some parity to what Al Qaeda and it’s franchises are doing.
I know of no Americans working through intimidation or by force to establish their version of some whack job ideal to impose their beliefs.
As an ultra-fundamentalist Christian, I’m amused by this lie. I’m sure Scarborough knows the passages that would govern unprovoked violence by a Christian. There are times for violence in self-defense or in the defense of another, but otherwise:
You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, Do not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment. But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment.
- Matthew 5:21-22
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.
- Matthew 5:9
Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
- Matthew 5:43-44
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
- Matthew 22:37-40
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
- Matthew 5:16
the only good mooselimb is a dead mooselimb.
Here is a link with the best explanation I have heard for the unpardonable sin which is unbelief. It has to do with the stoning of Stephen

Thank you.
You are welcome. Let me know what you think about his explanation. It sure makes sense to me.
I finally took the time to read the whole thing more carefully and I think he is probably right.
In other words the unpardonable sin is unbelief, rejection of Christ. I actually think that is what I have been taught before.
