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.

1 Samuel 15 New International Version (NIV) "1. Samuel said to Saul, “I am the one the Lord sent to anoint you king over his people Israel; so listen now to the message from the Lord. 2. This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘I will punish the Amalekites for what they did to Israel when they waylaid them as they came up from Egypt. 3. Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy[a] all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’” 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... Also, Saul's time (1050 BC) was well before Mohammed's time (570 AD), and can be considered part of the Islamic, Jewish, and Christian shared history. The God in the story (or historical account, depending on your stance) is the same, and the actions and results could also be considered shared. This alone discounts the assertion that Christianity's version of God and faith is bloodier and crueler than Islam's when using this reference. Unless I am mistaken, most of the blood shed by Christians happened after the birth of Islam, and it can hardly be considered a one-way street. . . . 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"!!!
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.
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.
