"Oh God, just what we need another 24 million Baptists! I don't think there's enough water in Iraq to dunk them all."

I doubt there is enough whiskey there either...

[Servant of the Nine]

You are the truth are complete strangers.

Did you skip all of European History along with English Grammar?

Is this how the Christians show the "tollerance" they have of other cultures and their religions?

This is a perfect example of what turned me away from Christianity in the first place.

People who practice tollerance accept their neighbors as they are for who they are regardless of their faith and the dont try to convert them to their way of faith at every chance they get. Christtans are just as bad as those damn Jehova Witnesses that come around knockin..

Who's intollerant?

[Wallace T.]

How was the War of the Roses a religious war? They occured much prior to the Reformation. Both the York and Lancaster houses were Roman Catholic, as indeed was almost all of Western and Central Europe. To my knowledge, it was a dynastic struggle for the English throne, not a religious one.

As for the wars of ancient Israel in the Old Testament, they were primarily national conflicts between Israel and her neighbors. True, the Jews were (and are) defined both religiously and nationally/ethnically, but these wars were no different from, say, the conflcits among the Greek city-states.

Call me intolerant, divisive, and uninclusive if you want.

Don't worry - no matter what your position is on the matter, Illbay will probably do that anyway.

[Cedric]

People who are losing an argument often resort to trivial attacks such as, um, well... pointing out errors in grammar {which are usually just typos}.

[Enemy Of The State]

"Who's intollerant?"

Nice try but you can't turn that one around on me.

[Cedric]

I accept your admission.

[Captain Kirk]

Be more specific. They are allowed to evangelize?

[Enemy Of The State]

it wasnt an admission and I didnt say that I was tollerant in the first place did I? Didnt think so!

I dont have any patience for any group that claims they practice tollerance when in fact they dont.

IF Christians were truly tollerant of other religions that do not hold the same beliefs, they wouldnt continually try to convert them and convince them that they are going to burn in hell for not sharing their Christian beliefs.

[Belial]

Why not exchange one delusion for another?

[Cedric]

Enemy Of Myself

Your very words vididly portrayed your intollerance. Your defensive response confirms it.

[k2blader]

I thought we were trying to build peace, not start a whole new level of war. Catholic groups would be fine, relations between the RC Church and Islam are at least respectful.

Are you by any chance a professed Christian?

If not, then that explains it...

[Servant of the Nine]

I am not going thru 20 Centuries of murder, war, pogrom and Crusade for your amusement. Buy a decent set of books on European History.

[Cedric]

There's nothing amusing about your intollerance.

[SupplySider]

When people ask you, you explain that it's because of the love of God that has been poured out into my life and I have a deep desire that you know that same love as well.

And you should know it by my traditions, not yours.

[k2blader]

[Graham] goes to them, not hoping to show them a higher truth, but to save them from something that is "very evil and very wicked."

Why can't these two be one and the same?

[Alex Murphy]

I am not going thru 20 Centuries of murder, war, pogrom and Crusade for your amusement.

For whose amusement did you go through it for, then?

[mrMJ]

Man, this is the worst idea ever for trying to inspire pro-US opinions in Iraq. These American religious fanatics will get killed and never be heard from again over there. People in Iraq are Muslim because they choose to be, and for y'all to go out there and push your crap in front of them is only going to give our country a bad image.

Now I know President Bush, is a devout Christian, but he ain't stupid either. There's no way he'd let this happen though.

Are you by any chance a professed Christian? If not, then that explains it...

It's condescending comments like these that demonstrate exactly why we shouldn't be sending you and representatives of your religion over there. Calling Iraqi's a sinner and then telling them that the only way not to go to hell is professing your faith in Christ, is not the way to win over friends. If you called me a sinner, I'd just laugh in your face, but a Middle Eastern Muslim will KILL you.
