While the Koran Calls for Violence, The Bible Is Even Worse … Calling for Genocide Christians and Jews rightly point out that the Koran is a violent text which calls on Muslims to attack “unbelievers”. But they fail to see that the Bible is at least as violent.

What is an "rtwb" account I am supposed to have?
Indeed, the Nazis, the Norwegian mass murderer and many others have committed terrorism in the name of Christianity. Adolph Hitler professed to be a Christian, and churches in Nazi Germany mainly supported the Nazis. ..... Most Muslims condemn Islamic terrorism, just as most Christians condemn terrorism by fundamentalist Christians and most Jews condemn terrorism by fundamentalist Jews. ......
I took nothing out of context. I only posted the article. If you want to ask me if I agree or disagree with the author, then please do so. Nope, ol'w Gats has done no such research.
Doesn't gatlin find that debatable? I've been trying to take it a little easy around poor gat, since he suffered the embarrassment of leaving LP over a mere mention that his 'personal info' might be accessible to a new owner. What could possibly be within such info, - to cause such an overreaction?
Doesn't gatlin find that debatable? Okay, I have time for you now. I personally have no idea if "Most Muslims condemn Islamic terrorism" or not. I did find that a 2007 Pew Research Center study of several nations throughout the Muslim world showed that opposition to suicide bombing in the Muslim world is increasing, with a majority of Muslims surveyed in 10 out of the 16 of the countries responding that suicide bombings and other violence against civilians is "never" justified, though an average of 38% believe it is justified at least rarely. Do you have anything that supports or disputes the Pew Research Center study?
I also found that the YouGov survey for the Daily Telegraph, published two weeks after the July 2005 bombings in the London Underground, showed that 88% of British Muslims were opposed to the bombings, while 6% (about 100,000 individuals) fully supported them, and one British Muslim in four expressed some sympathy with the motives of the bombers. On the basis of that survey, if it is to believe, one must say that most British Muslims were opposed to the bombings and therefore condemned Islamic terrorism, right?
How many sock puppet accounts do you have left, tater?
How many sock puppet accounts do you have left, tater? I have never seen a post by "rtwb"....have you? I did a "From" and "To" search for "rtwb" and came up with nothing.

Condemnations from Muslim sources against terrorists: A common complaint among non-Muslims is that Muslim religious authorities do not condemn terrorist attacks. The complaints often surface in letters to the editors of newspapers, on phone-in radio shows, in Internet mailing lists, forums, etc. A leader of an evangelical Christian para-church group, broadcasting over Sirius Family Net radio, stated that he had done a thorough search on the Internet for a Muslim statement condemning terrorism, without finding a single item. Actually, there are lots of fatwas and other statements issued which condemn attacks on innocent civilians. Unfortunately, they are largely ignored by newspapers, television news, radio news and other media outlets. The following essays describe a small percentage of statements condemning terrorism that have been made, but not widely published.Topics covered in this section:
A world wide web search comes up with... Return To Work Bonus. How much is Acorn paying you, including sock puppet accounts? A google search for "rtwB" came up with a number of links to: "Respiratory Therapists Without Borders." No, I am not connected with the medical profession in any way. If you find anyone giving out a "return to work bonus"....check to see what they are paying. If it is enough, and it would have to be a huge sum, then I may be interested.
I was not, it is that you have no importance to me....so you get to the back of the line. I have my research laid out well in advance for everything I post. You must know that....try to remember it.
Screen Name Search: rwbt There are no posts with the given search criteria. Sorry, I still have no idea what you are talking about. If you want me to leave, just say so and I am gone right now.
I think he knows that.
Screen Name Search: rwbt There are no posts with the given search criteria. Shoddy research is standard for you. There is one post by your sock puppet rwbt, which I responded to. When you cut to the chase,that isn't even the problem. The problems come when the fundies demand everyone else live according to their morality codes. If they just applied those standards to themselves and left the rest of us alone,no problem. It's all about freedom of choice.

I did transpose the letters to "rtwb" when I performed a "From" and "To" search....you can charge to to me acting like greased lightning. I am one fast Devil. I have no idea why Moderator X ever got the idea I am rwtb. I am done with this....and you should be too, Moderator X.
Then said:--- "I personally have no idea if "Most Muslims condemn Islamic terrorism" or not." Now Pete observes: --- When you cut to the chase,that isn't even the problem. The problems come when the fundies demand everyone else live according to their morality codes. If they just applied those standards to themselves and left the rest of us alone,no problem. It's all about freedom of choice. Well said Pete. --- And I'll bet you get a very convoluted 'answer' from gatlin. If we're lucky he may use Pew again.

If I were to have bet, then you would have lost your bet, tpaine. But then, tpaine, I will never bet with you because you no doubt would renege on that too....just like you did on making a contribution to LP.
I'm pretty sure that Goldi knew he would never ptay up.
She did.
There, not convoluted, tpaine. If I were to have bet, then you would have lost your bet, tpaine. Rats, foiled again by Mr. Obvious. I've never welshed on a bet in my life. -- You failed to meet my conditions, which was made obvious by your chump like flight from LP when you thought some of your personal info might be compromised.
Yea, sure....and you never lied in you life either. :) You know what, chump....I never have to meet you conditions.
Another click wasted on a crappy 3-sentence excerpt. If you don't like it enough to post the whole thing, then please don't post it.
She knew indeed, when I defended her position on the thread where she told the religious fanatics to shut up. Yep, that was her style, especially when she was defending poor you over whatever strange thing you were covering up, and still are.
I feel sure that MX or DA will be along shortly to stop this exchange. So, I will save them the time and trouble. I am through sparring with you, featherweight. You are no match for me and it is unfair if I continue. You take care, ya hear!

In my world, he who calls in the moderators, and flees the scene, is a loooser.
Right! I admit: I lost....I lost....I lost.... Now can you please just shut up and stop stalking me and bothering me?
Sorry, but as long as you post articles here, you'll get my comments on them. Nope I'm not gonna shut up. I'm not stalking you, and if my comments are bothering you, feel free to be a bozo, as you were on LP.
No, it doesn't.
Good luck on that.
Good luck on that.
I am not debating your posting of the article, only your ability to shape the context of the conversation by selective posting of the main body of content, along with no explanation of why you did so. This post you seem to highlight just the juiciest part of the article, the hook, which does not contain any "facts" or "opinions" which at least support why you think the article was important. On the other post you made about "greying" Christians, you left out the main meaning of the article in favor of what many would call agitprop. Perhaps you should post the entire article next time or at least create a poster's comment on why that is the only content that matters in the article. Otherwise, your posts will remain in troll'dom with the rest of your Troll Kingdom.
Don't waste the internet ink on this article. This was done over at LP too. We know the true definition of Christian fundamentalist and it does not involve cowardly violence: FIVE FUNDAMENTALS OF THE FAITH There are five fundamentals of the faith which are essential for Christianity, and upon which we agree: 1. The Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ (John 1:1; John 20:28; Hebrews 1:8-9). 2. The Virgin Birth (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:27). 3. The Blood Atonement (Acts 20:28; Romans 3:25, 5:9; Ephesians 1:7; Hebrews 9:12-14). 4. The Bodily Resurrection (Luke 24:36-46; 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, 15:14-15). 5. The inerrancy of the scriptures themselves (Psalms 12:6-7; Romans 15:4; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20). Christians at the turn of the 20th century embraced the label "fundamentalist." It separated them from the liberalism infecting the churches and theological universities in the late 19th century. Based on the above, I am a fundamentalist.
"Let the inspired Scripture, then, be our umpire, and the vote of truth will surely be given to those whose dogmas are found to agree with the Divine words." Gregory of Nyssa
I will add to your analysis. That being we are the created and God is the Creator. There were horrible things going on in Canaan and later around, and even later right inside Israel. Things like parents having their children walk through fire as a sacrifice to gods. Of course the children perished. The parents did this ritual sacrifice to gain favor with the gods, gain power and financial gain. Sounds familiar. There was also other horrible murders, rapes, brutal treatment of orphans and widows and yes the worst kind of sexual perversions. God judged these kings and nations. He used the sword from Israel to remove the filth from His nostrils. Are we really going to judge the Judge? Job has an answer to this question.

Once again, Comrade, your penchant for taking things out of context is dead on:
I bet ol' Gats has a metric sh*te-tonne of research that will back up the good professor Philip Jenkins claims that Christians are mush bloodier than Muslims. Why, just look and the Middle East right now. So much "peace" that you cannot even walk a straight line for 10 miles without bumping into one of the ISIS "emissaries of peace"!!!

Thanks for admitting you're posting agitprop without having an idea if it's factual, or not.

The God described in the Bible was always considered vengeful, but never without some reason for vengeance. To be fair, the Bible also says that God committed near total annihilation of the world just because He was sick of it at the moment...
