This is a classic response by a moral relativist. So, you don't think that a religion that promotes the murder innocent people is wrong??? Do you think before you type?
~grin~ Nice try...
You said: "Maybe they are all right and none wrong"
That is an incompetent statement. Factoring in the Feudal contrariety between the differing faiths, your assertion could only be put forward in an honest manner but someone "incompetent" where Religions of the World are concerned.
If I may skip ahead a couple of hundred posts...
You're seemingly a transparent contrarian to religious order more than anything else. This is what leads to your incompetence.
Yes, but The "Allah" of Islam is a false god originating from the pre-islamic arabian culture wherein there were 360 deities (sun, moon, stars). Allah was originally known as "Al-Ilah" and praying toward Mecca, pilgrimages to the Kabah, etc. were all in place before Mohammed. So much for the Koran coming directly from heaven to Mohammed. Islamic is an irrational cult that has no basis in evidence or archeology for the claims that it makes.
If you believe that then the logical conclusion is that all religions are not divine hence erroneous.
Would you then state that Jesus Christ is not Lord and that there is no Holy Spirit?
Do you have evidence to prove that all religions are man-made or is this your personal view that you take on faith? Since all religions are equal, then your religion - atheism - is also included. Remember? Atheism is the relgion that gave us Stalin and Mao and 100 million murders. You obviously have a very poor grasp of the contrasts between the various religions. Asserting it does not make it true.
As far as your other statements, in general, I think you are a little bit too kind to them. There are some belief systems and practices which are simply incompatible with a free and progressive society; pedophilia, theft, extortion, islam, these are examples of anti-social value-systems.
But the point is that this proves they consider us their enemy.
I then asked you a question and I await your response before I will go further with your query.
Come on, Liberals, explain this sh*t. Some "tolerant misunderstood religion, yes?"
It's the religion from HELL, and we ought to start rounding up Islams here and putting them in camps.
Too kind? That's the first time anyone has accused me of that! haha. I advocate destruction of Mecca and the outlawing of Islam in the U.S. What more would you do?
"You do have proof then?"
Proof of what?
"What does the feudal factoring paragraph mean?"
It is not rocket science...it is a refution of your assertion that all faiths could be right. Do the math.
"Why would my contrariness make me incompetent?"
Being a contrarian does not directly make you incompetent...obviously it is what leads you to not study the texts involved...hence making you incompetent to discuss whether or not they all may or may not be correct.
The most virulent prayers I can recall from the Viet Nam era were phrased in terms of "God/Jesus/Lord, protect our soldiers in battle", or "God/Jesus/Lord, may this battle/war end soon so that peaceful people may return to their normal lives and families", and "...receive in your loving arms those who fall in battle today."
What I didn't hear, and don't hear today, are prayers to kill all the Muslims, consume in fire and death all the Islamic Nations and, since it is within God's power to eliminate all of Islam, God should do it now!
