Telling someone that homosexuality is a sin is not wrong, because the bible does say that, but telling someone they will go to hell for it, or doing violence to some for being a homosexual is like condemning someone and Christ is against this
So is it wrong to go to war against terrorists, kill them or tell them they're gonna go to hell?
What about rapists, is it wrong to tell THEM they're going to hell or punish them also?
I'm not saying all Muslims are violent, but when you look at Muslims in the middle east, they rape and kill women
Alpha..
..how many Muslims from the East do YOU KNOW PERSONALY have raped or killed any women?
I can take you to the closest penitentary and show you HUNDREDS of Christians that have.

This however is probably the biggest difference in Muslim Shariyah Law and Western Law. In a Muslim state, the law, and the practises of people are judging from the same perspective. If the Qur'an says this, it's done. In Western Law, there are two types of Law and not all of it is based on Judeo-Christian beliefs as used to be the case with the founding Fathers of most Western countries. Whereas the Scriptures were the basis of what is right and wrong, now adays, non Christian and even atheistic thinking is replacing the scriptures as the foundation of the laws.
How true!
Would you believe that I was thinking the very same thing 2 hours ago?
So you get the issue of the Judge in the US who has been stood down for wanting the ten commandments on display in his courtroom. You have different standards of morality accepted. Christians who want to live as the bible teaches face persecution from within their own countries for standing up for truth.
You call a rich republican judge who throws a tantrum just because he didn't get his way "persecution"?
The 1st Century Christians....and the lions that ate them... would laugh at you!
