bump your 58 and my 61 - "Being riddled with orders of genocide, slavery, subjection of women, and a host of general bizarreness, the Bible isn’t so pretty itself, sometimes. "

Incredible as it may sound, you Mensa graduates have managed to miss the fact that The US has never once gone to war with anyone, nor issued a fatwah for insulting Christianity.

The fact that millions of animals masquerading as people have done so and continue to do so in the name of Islam, also apparently has escaped your notice.

Please note who posted this thread to begin with - me.

The Old Testament and the Koran are both full of bad things.

Sorry - my many Moslem friends are not animals masquerading as people, they are fine, honest, compassionate and honorable people, just as are my Christian friends.

I am ashamed of and disgusted by the small percentage of religious fanatics on both sides.

"The US has never once gone to war with anyone, nor issued a fatwah for insulting Christianity."

That's just about the only crime that hasn't been committed, by the US, in the pursuit of Christian ideals.

However, there are hundreds of thousands of dead Native Americans that might disagree. We have a long history of religious nutsism in the US.

Just because a declaration has never been given, doesn’t mean the same results haven’t occurred.

…Not that I in any way disagree with the course of action we are about to take, as a nation. I’m on board 100% but, I’m not on board with hatred, merely with the understanding of necessity.

Sitting around FR and lifting select lines from religious texts, for the purpose of enforcing a negative stereo-type does nothing but make us look like the ignorant racists that we are so often accused of being by pinheads like the people at DU.com.

I could sit here all day and pick and choose stupid lines - which are every bit as hate filled as the quotes above - from the Bible. Islam is no more fundamentally evil than the Jewish faith, or Hindu, or Buddhist, or even certain sects of Christianity and attempting to make villains out of Muslims, in general, is every bit as misguided and foul-minded as Muslim-extremists attempting to make villains out of Christians and Jews.

But, I’m sure you know all this, being the I’m-going-to-talk-down-to-you-idiots genius that you are.
