I think Americans are tolerant to a fault, and we’ve found one of these faults.
A religion’s expression among men can only be as good as the character of the deity which the religion affirms.
Jesus Christ is an all around champion, as good as it gets and that is staggeringly good. People can still construct selfish systems around His reputation but even those tend to be limited in how evil they can get.
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to say that if you have a deity, call him Frffv, who is constantly telling you to slay people ruthlessly without limit, he has to be a cosmic meanie with a chip on his shoulder. Of course this Frffv is the Islamic Allah.
I don’t know if I am rubbing some people gratuitously the wrong way or if people are going nuts at what I say because it’s uncompromising to the best I understand. I’m trying to raise further awareness the best I can. By all means check it out in the scriptures and if I am mistaken then challenge me on my reading, and I may be able to support what I say or I may discover I need to modify it.
Cruz, Cruz. You don’t have any excuse here. How about believing the bible better. And if I sound proud to you saying so, I sound proud to you saying so.
If I told you that I am God's prophet, that you should follow me, and that you should slay anyone who refuses to accept my revelations, what would happen to me? Shouldn't I get locked up?
You could try that as an opener.
