LOL.

This is precisely the attitude of the Osama administration.

The only unrealistic part is believing Osama would express any alarm about a fellow Muslim, regardless of the circumstances.

I’d like to see someone who opposes extremism and violence no matter what guise they take, whether it be Christian fundamentalism or Islamic terrorism, communism or fascism, or (insert your buzzword here).

I know, I know. I’m asking for too much. But I can dream, can’t I?
scottfreitas said, about 1 month ago

There are no Christian fundamentalist terrorists in the world.

A person who believes in the fundamentals of Christianity is called a “Bible-believing Christian”. And despite the claims of you Leftists, we are the ones who BUILT America.

The Lord rebuke you for calling the established, historical teachings of Christianity “extremism”. :(
toasteroven said, about 1 month ago

Like I said, choose your buzzword.

If It’s worth anything st all, I was raised as a good, devout Catholic, and I view any violence committed in the name of religion as extremism. And I’m no leftie.
scottfreitas said, about 1 month ago

Granted, the New Testament did call for a new approach, toaster.

But it’s hard to get people to truly unify and try that approach in the face of true evil, because it sometimes calls for a lot of dead Christians… as ancient Rome so clearly showed us.

Aside from an occasional lone gunman shooting an abortion doctor, there isn’t any “Christian” violence being perpetrated anywhere in the world, though. Hasn’t been much since the American Revolution, period (even that Irish-English mess is more about Irish vs. English POLITICS than anything connected to Christianity).

With the abortion doctor incidents, we really CAN say the Bible doesn’t approve of or encourage vigilante justice, without having to resort to playing word games. Anyone can read the New Testament and see that it never even HINTS at violence or forcible conversion of non-believers!

The Koran is an entirely different thing. It doesn’t have an “old” and “new” testament. Allah did nothing to reconcile man to himself, or forgive man’s sins. Allah is still basically a pissed-off god who wants his believers to kill or convert those who don’t believe. PERIOD. No middle ground, no compromise, no “tolerance.”

When are people going to start being honest enough to differentiate between the God who came to Earth in the form of a man to save the men He created in His own image, and the angry “allah” who demands everyone worship him or else he’ll kill them and everyone else around them, including any Muslims who happen to be in the area at the time?

It’s getting OLD, world… :(
LibrarianInTraining said, about 1 month ago

scottfreitas, it is getting old. But don’t you see? This is the exciting part!

We’re not mentioned in the book of Revelation! By the time the Anti-Christ comes (and no, I don’t think Obama is the anti-Christ. Though I do have a few concerns about Oprah being the Prophet. The woman practically has her own religion.)

We’re headed toward no longer being a major world superpower. It’s just as it was meant to be.

I’m not saying rest on our laurels, though. I’m saying be more vigilant than ever. We need to be on our knees praying for the lost, because this world doesn’t have a whole lot of time left.

God bless us all!

Have a nice day! :)

^you are not correct, there are thousands of people who call obama a nazi and a terrorist, while there are thousands of people who call terrorists terrorits and nazis nazis. The fact is that you arent using proper logic. There is no correlation with what you said. What you are basically saying is that while some people call other people nazis with ease they have greater difficulty calling people terrorists where you incorrectly attempt to correlate lack of biblical and constitutional knowledge as a lack of justification for being able to call someone a terrorist. There is not need to have ever read a bible or any constitution to be able to call someone a terrorist, all they need to do is look the definition and apply it. The same goes towards calling some well educated biblical or constitutional scholar a nazi. And might i add that Nazis had both constitutions and bibles and they didnt stop being Nazis. And even a scholar in both can still be a Nazi if they uphold the racist, narrow minded, intolerant and agressive views espouced by the tennents of facism. So please ANandy, next time you want to make veiled insults to those that called you a nazi, please use some proper logic.

Hmm yeah Library, never bought into the Hal Lindsey types who claimed America was going to be a major player on the world stage during the Apocalypse.

No point reading into Scripture what isn’t there. America may well simply fade away into quiet obscurity, though I doubt we’ll get get off so easily due to the huge amount of untapped natural resources here. Our watermelons are doing a brilliant job of perserving everything for any future conquerors, and for sure none of them would have any use for the Sierra Club. Tiiiiiimber!, and fire up the Beverly Hillbillies theme…

As for the amount of time the world has left, that is a total mystery. Jesus flatly stated no one knows the time of His return. Could be another millenia or more, could be 10 minutes from now. I’d prefer 10 minutes, but I I don’t get to make the schedule….

New Testament: “I come not to bring peace to the world, but a sword.” Jesus- Matthew 10.

“watermelon” reference is obviously another reference to scooters “christian charity”? Washing your sheets for tonights meeting?

Most Christians don’t consider the KKK to be Christians. You can bet God doesn’t.

If I eat meat, it doesn’t matter whether I call myself a vegetarian – I’m not.
tpenna said, about 1 month ago

Hey scottfreitas and ANandy, you might find it easier to remove the speck from the eyes of the rest of the world if you would first concentrate on clearing that log out of your own.

And those who believe that violence in the Bible is relegated only to the Old Testament are ignoring the pesky story of Ananias and Saphira (Acts 5).

And those who believe that there are no Christian terrorists are just laughably naive. TimeWeaver’s example is a good one. And we would be wise to not dismiss religious zealots like Scott Roeder by foolishly saying “[a]side from an occasional lone gunman”.

Other examples of Christian terrorism include the sectarian violence in Ireland, the apartheid regime in South Africa (legitimized and sustained by the Dutch Reformed Church), and Joseph Kony’s Lord’s Resistance Army in Uganda.

The ignorance of the Left is literally boundless.

KKK: an organization created by the Demoncrat Party during Reconstruction to terrorize both blacks AND Republicans. The white sheets represent the ghosts of dead Confederate soldiers, coming back to haunt those evil n-words and Lincoln Lovers who murdered them…

Might want to at least Google something, and CROSS-REFERENCE it, before you go spewing Satan’s lies into your keyboard.

Show me how one could listen to Jesus’ words (in context, employing normal hermeneutics )and kill or forcibly convert someone. Quote me the Scripture!

Now, show me how someone could read Mohammed’s words (in context, employing normal hermeneutics) and NOT kill or forcibly convert someone!

To the lying Left, up is always down; right is always wrong; clocks run backwards, water flows uphill, and people living in Australia have feet for hands. :/
tpenna said, about 1 month ago

Oh, I get it! So the problem is we’re just not reading the Bible correctly (as God intended it to be read when he delivered it to us wrapped in cellophane)! If only we would all follow the learned example of scottfreitas and just read the Bible according to his own hermeneutic lens, we would see the truth!

Gee scottfreitas, with all the time you must spend pleasuring your spiritual ego, I’m forced to wonder how you managed to learn so much about the true nature of Islam!

Don’t look now, but your pride is showing.

Face it, dude. You’re a bitter hack with just enough education to confirm your own delusions that you are completely correct; and not enough education to humbly realize that you don’t know anything at all.

Maybe he should rename the right some pc something and maybe that will make it go away.
danTheForth said, about 1 month ago

Ananias and Saphira as an example of violence? Care to explain that one? They lied to the Holy Spirit and were instantly struck dead. Death, yes. Violence, no. And the death was not by the hands of men. It’s really not a pesky story at all. The moral of the story: Don’t lie to God! (Ooh! Pesky!)

As was already stated, the Irish violence has always been more of a political conflict than a Catholic/Protestant conflict. I thought I already gave a refutation of the KKK-Christian connection. Just because a group slaps a Christian label on itself doesn’t mean it’s really a Christian group. When a group like the KKK decides to call itself Christian, it’s like sticking a Rolls-Royce hood ornament on a Yugo. Nobody’s buying it. (Ok, apparently some of you are. Want to buy a Rolls?)

More toon-related, is this the first time McCoy has drawn Obama in profile? He looks very different from his usual characterization.
tpenna said, about 1 month ago

Care to explain how striking dead two people who would prefer to live is not inherently violent? And you simply cannot escape the ethical consequence that a God who kills serves to justify the violence of the devout.

All this said, I agree with the conclusion that those who kill in the name of the Christian God are guilty of wantonly distorting Christ’s mission of love and reconciliation. Every now and then history shows us people like Martin Luther King who profoundly demonstrate the true heart of God.

What defies logic is the fact that, while simultaneously affirming this fact, scottfreitas and others here dogmatically assert that no such qualification may be applied to persons who manipulate the teachings of Islam to justify their own violence.

Such blind and ignorant fanaticism is both stupefying and dangerous.
itisme said, about 1 month ago

Christians from the first few centuries after the Death of Joshua the Christ (as the original Greek the books of the New Testament state) would not recognize what Christians today proclaim as Christianity.
And yes, there are plenty out there who would be “good Christian soldiers” and kill for Christ if they thought it was their mission.

Imagine there’s no countries

And no religion too

danTheForth said, about 1 month ago

I can see we’re going to view this differently, but I don’t see an instantaneous, bloodless, (probably) painless death as violent. I also don’t see how an ultimate perfect judge who metes out judgment – for what in this case would amount to high treason – serves to justify violence by those who do not have authority to carry out justice.

I don’t have a problem with a God who kills as a punishment for sin. If I didn’t think my own sins were worthy of death I would have no reason to embrace Grace and Mercy. If sin is trivial, grace is meaningless. I do have a major problem with people who kill as a personal judgment against sin.

I think the various denominations of Christianity have been much better about condemning violent acts perpetrated in Christ’s name than Muslim leaders have regarding violence for Islam.
tpenna said, about 1 month ago

I’m glad to see I finally have an interlocutor capable of reasoned dialogue without inflammatory bombast.

That said, the history of the world’s religions is replete with pious claims of divine authorization for human violence. Whether we believe such should be the case, the actual facts confirm that a God characterized by violence necessarily leads to and justifies human violence.

Sociologically speaking, all people ascribe to God (or whatever higher authority they identify) those attributes which they themselves value. That’s not just an observation of human history. Rather, it’s a natural trait of moral development.

Hebrew scriptures about the exodus from Egypt, the conquest of Canaan, and even the Babylonian captivity reflect their authors’ social location in slavery, in power, and in shame. In each event, God’s sanction is understood in relation to the needs and the morals of the people.

When the God of the Bible commands his people to commit genocide, what is really taking place is a human attempt to justify violence. The only alternative to this understanding is a God who is not truly omnibenevolent. And the ethical ramifications of such a claim would be catastrophic.

scottfreitas said, about 1 month ago

itisme: not true. There are plenty of sincere, Bible-believing Christians who adhere to historical, orthodox christianity.

Homosexuals, lesbians, women, etc pretending to be “pastors”, and leading churches which preach raw apostasy… yes, THAT would freak out any of the early Christians quite severely.

itisme, sad, but very very true!

I’d love for the church to resort back to it’s first century ways. But I’m afraid the only way that will happen is through persecution of the church. It’s not what I want. It certainly isn’t what God wants. But it may be the only way to turn the stone-cold hearts of the legalistic and hypocritical self-serving egomaniacs who call themselves “Christians” and give thoseof us who truly seek Christ a bad name.

scottfreitas,

Christian fundamentalists BUILT America?

Yes, Christian fundamentalists built America on land stolen from “sub-human” Native Americans after they were marginalized, starved, militarily butchered in the largest genocide in world history, scalped or killed with small pox infected blankets America traded for deeds to mineral rich, lake and river fed pasture land.

Yes, you build America with a crack of the whip and the blood, sweat and tears of the “sub-human” African slave labor that picked the cotton for export to Europe and which made American Christian fundamentalists rich as hell. Where do you think the slaves learned the old testament Bible stories about the Jewish slaves being freed from Egyptian slavery that gave them hope? From their f–ing Christian fundamentalist slave owners!

There are no Christian fundamentalist terrorists in the world?

Oh, really? What would you call American soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq who kick down Muslim doors, drop bombs on “suspected” Muslim Al-Qaeda villages, shoot at cars that don’t stop at check points and crush slow moving traffic with their hummers? “Freedom fighters?”

Heir to the Nazi banking fortune of his grandfather (Prescott Bush), George W. Bush conveniently got elected to public office in Bible-thumping Texas and later in Washington DC by calling himself a “Christian fundamentalist” even after failing miserably at every private sector business he touched and with family-friendly Saudi financial backing.

Who do you think planted the 9/11 thermite in WTC7 if not good-ol’-boy dub-ya? Muslims with box cutters?
scottfreitas said, about 1 month ago

The square root of 5639 must be 666, I guess. ><

I had a good laugh at “crush slow moving traffic with their hummers.” No, that was a scene from “Kelly’s Heroes”. You really need to try to make your scrambled neurocircuits retrieve and store your memories better…

Also, “Dubya planting thermite in WTC7” is from one of the Die Hard movies, dude. W was sort of manly I guess, but he was no Bruce Willis..
tpenna said, about 1 month ago

Oh, God. This is getting crazy.

wbr, I’m sorry my years spent studying the sociology of religion, the Christian Bible, systematic theology, theological ethics, and philosophy doesn’t meet with your approval.

Regardless of your own appraisal of my academic merit, however, you may rest assured that my “blabbing” as you call it has been preceded by both careful study and stringent formal review.

And while none of that renders me infallible by any means on these matters, it does equip me to think through the implications of the poorly thought out theological and political assertions of folks like scottfreitas and ANandy.

Just sayin’s all.

Thanks, all you ignorant Oprah viewers, for voting last November!!!
Roger said, about 1 month ago

Of course, the Obama administration is showing they are far more concerned that we evil, conservative Christians are going to go around killing Muslim Americans, than the fact that a fanatic Muslim just shot dozens of our soldiers here on American soil and that Muslim was allowed to fester and plan, because our liberal masters are afraid of hurting the feelings of Muslims- but never afraid of hurting the feelings of Christians.

Typical liberal hypocrisy.
tpenna said, about 1 month ago

Actually, there’s good reason to believe self-righteous bigots will begin taking it upon themselves to kill or persecute Muslims. Why just today, a Marine reservist in Tampa attacked a Greek Orthodox priest because he mistakenly believed he was an Islamic terrorist.

tpenna said, about 1 month ago

Huh. Exactly what part of my above posts constitutes worshiping this fictional character that you half-wits made up?

Or are you defending this Florida ingrate who chased and beat a Greek Orthodox priest out of his xenophobic paranoia? Or are you suggesting that anyone who correctly points out that President Obama is not, in fact, a “Muslim terrorist” (as nospam4me moronically claimed) must therefore be an unthinking sycophantic Obama-worshiper?

I doubt either of those is the case. No rational person could take those positions. More likely, you just haven’t got the words to coherently express your arguments or refute any of mine, so you retreat to the third-grader’s alternative, lame one-liners with no real intelligible content.

So, the real points of Ft. Hood:

- Yet another workplace shooting.
  A gun attained too easily.
- The whole thing would not been as much of an issue had this been a Christian (like the man who killed Dr. Tiller) doing the shooting.

Dr. Tiller lives saved: +1000 women who would have died from pregnancy complications.
GOOBER said, about 1 month ago

Seung-Hui Cho flirted with Islam, I believe. Far from a convert though. I believe his problem was the idolatry of his weapons as a means of “controlling” his universe. Nidal Hasan-futz was another imbalanced freak who used the up-coming tension against deployment to seek a “religious” solution to his existential-tension.
