Richard Dawkins's Jewish Problem

The Anti-Defamation League, the country's leading group dedicated to fighting anti-Semitism, is rightly sensitive to the offense of trivializing the Holocaust. Why, then, has the ADL said nothing in protest against the Darwinian biologist and bestselling atheist author Richard Dawkins and his comparison of Darwin doubters to Holocaust deniers?...

Coming from someone who refuses to acknowledge the Christianity of Catholics, etc., I consider your statement to be a further reinforcement of my own Christianity.

[metmom]

Fine. Trust in yourself. See where it gets you some day.

I acknowledge the Christianity of those who have put their faith in CHRIST, not an organization, or man made institution, or themselves.

[Buck W.]

I trust in God. I’m a Christian.
Just not the intolerant type.

[metmom]

Do you trust Christ?

[Buck W.]

Of course. I told you I’m a Christian. Just not the intolerant type.

[metmom]

Nobody ever said that Christianity was tolerant. Truth will not tolerate a lie.

Jesus said, *I am the way, the truth, the life, no man comes to the Father but through me.*

There is no other way, not through works, not through church membership, not just because someone thinks so.

Some day every knee will bow to Christ, Christian or not.

[metmom]

I know you think you’re a Christian, but even if you were, you are certainly not the tolerant kind.

Not based on the tone of your posts on all these threads.

[Buck W.]

Sorry you feel that way. A bit of introspection may be in order on your part.

Question is- does he even htink Christ was God’s Son who died and rose again for remission of sins? Has he gone to Christ himself, asked forgiveness of his sins, and has he accepted Christ as Savior- this is somethign he’s NEVER answered- He just says he trusts Christ-, but does he even think Christ is God?

[metmom]

Likewise.

[metmom]

That’s the $64,000 question, isn’t it?

[antiRepublicrat]

I'm merely teaching you of the transformative power of Christ.

I understand the new covenant, but that in no way erases or states as morally incorrect the history of what God supposedly commanded his people to do.

It's an ineffectual canard

No, it's a logical fallacy. You don't get to define what a Christian is for the rest of the world, and throughout history.

[Buck W.]

“Similarly, when it comes to you and Christianity, we know what you are as well. You are neither Christian in belief nor are you therefore a Christian in practice. You are fooling no one.

Your credibility is shot.”

Really? I beg to differ. I have told you that I reject your concept of closed-minded, bigoted Christianity. The fact that I fail your litmus test for entry into that cult further bolsters my credibility instead.

I say that as a Christian.

You really are a sad little King, Ludd.

[Buck W.]

Why can’t the cultists separate religion and politics? Are you frustrated politicians who use faith as a crutch? Or are you frustrated by your inability to evangelize thinking people into your cult and blame politics for the failures of your faith?

I ask these questions as a Christian.

[Agamemnon]

I say that as a Christian.

Sure you are, Arlen. (/sarc)

Your credibility is shot.

[reg45]

The Holocaust was an historical event, just as the signing of the United States Constitution was. Documentation exists to verify both events.

On the other hand, evolution is a scientific hypothesis that can and should be subjected to tests and rigorous proof or possible demonstration of the null hypothesis.

[Buck W.]

“Your credibility is shot. “

I’ve already addressed that point. It’s not.

You’re a sad little King, Ludd.

[metmom]

You don't get to define what a Christian is for the rest of the world, and throughout history.

Nor do you, which is what you're doing when you reject tpanther's definition.

FWIW, someone pointing to what the Bible defines as a Christian is not that person defining what a Christian is. It's merely pointing out to others what God has to say about the matter.

Matthew 10:13-15 If the home is deserving, let your peace rest on it; if it is not, let your peace return to you. If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town. I tell you the truth, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.
