Kareem, I'm growing tired of you constantly shoving us into one group. For the last time - and you'd better pay close attention, because I'm nto telling you again - I do not place my faith, nor do I base my morality, on what church leaders tell me to do. First of all, I haven't been to church in a very long time, due to the fact that it became political and it was beginning to have NOTHING to do with worshiping God. Secondly, if you would bother to pull your head out of the sand (This is the rated G version of what I'm REALLY thinking) and read my messages, you'd know that I have a big problem with the authorities in the Catholic church, as well as the people in the Episcopalian (sp?) church who elected Gene Robinson to be one of their leaders.
I am not stupid, sir. Please stop acting as though I am. I do not allow ANYONE to tell me who I will and will not vote for. I am capable of thinking for myself. Thank you very much!
I don't think a religion that advocates murdering people who refuse to convert to said religion is "the best" one
I don't accept them as Christians. A Christian is someone who follows the teachings of Jesus Christ. People who claim to be Christians, yet blatantly ignore the Lord's teachings, are not Christians at all. Some love to ignore the fact that God hates homosexuality, polygamy, adultery, the murder of unborn children, etc. They twist the meaning of the Scriptures to suit their points of view.
I don't do that. I do my best to adhere to the Lord's teachings. Sometimes I fail miserably, but at least I try. I don't think God demands that we be perfect.
First of all, don't you EVER refer to the Nazis as Christians. They were sadistic, evil monsters who only CLAIMED to be Christians
Only because you keep shoving us into a group with fake Christians. As long as you keep doing that, Aineo is going to keep on "picking on you."
Young lady
are you in some kind of "pain"?
You put a little too much on my plate to eat, you should feed me a little bit at a time and smile more like Carol!
Alpha:
Mr. Banks, why are you being a hypocrite? This is like the same thing Aineo was doing to you (asking you questions about other Muslims' actions), but yet you do it to me? Why are you asking me questions about other Christians? Aineo basically did the samething towards you, but you're complaining about it by saying he is judging you by other Muslim' actions
Well...... was HE wrong for doing it or not? :roll:
If I was wrong...then HE was wrong, right?
Great, now you're going to blame Christianity for the violent acts of others? Didn't Jesus say there will be trials and tribulations?
Sure he did, and he knew who would be CAUSING the trials and tribulations---CHRISTIANS!!!
I'm not blaming Christianity for the violence, I blame the people.
Therefore, he was forced, on your behalf, to bring up Islamic violence
Oooh he was FORCED???
He was DRIVEN???
What am I, some type of devil :evil: or evil spirit that FORCES people to generalize and make off-the-wall statement?
I think his PRIDE forced him, like mine does sometimes.
Carol:
You seem to be the calm voice or reason in this storm of attacks.
I think YOU are the best example of how a Christian should behave herself, not giving in to pride or anger.
That shows that you really believe in your religion....although I don't.
