The Old Testament is a really pacific book. If I were to follow it literally, then I would run around killing everyone.

I don't since I have common sense.

No, only those God told you specifically to kill (and He hasn't made such a pronoucement since the children of Israel came back to the promised land) or those who were provably guilty of certain crimes (which we should be doing anyway and remember that most of those crime sentences are modified by the NT also)

The Koran however does not make any allowance. It commands the muslim to kill any nonbeliever if that nonbeliever doesn't convert. No ifs, no ands, no buts. Islam is obviously an evil cult.

Islam is the enemy

You: "The Old Testament is a really pacific book. If I were to follow it literally, then I would run around killing everyone. "

I'm not sure what you mean by a "pacific" book but I know for sure you have not read the Old Testament when you say the above. The Old Testament is NOT teaching people to run around and kill one another. Whether it be the Old Testament or the New Testament this is not the teaching of God.

You: I don't since I have common sense.

One thing is for sure, you DON'T know the Bible or the teachings in it. As for common sense, well, I question that since your first statement:

"The Old Testament is a really pacific book. If I were to follow it literally, then I would run around killing everyone. "

is ridiculous and you mistakenly assume that others are blind to God's Word and teachings to be gleaned from it. If I were so ignorant, I'd refrain from such idiotic statements. Common sense tells me to keep mu ignorance to myself until I knew what I was talking about.

You win the "most moronic statement of the week" award. And considering FR's 90,000+ members, that's quite an accomplishment.
