I dont get the argument that Christians are bad, I mean were a Christian nation. If you hate Christians so much move to Iran, you'll fit right in.

Maybe that's why our country's in shambles.

Damn, this is multi-pages deep with no lock or move.

Cam someone get a GM, DEV, or someone that can lock this in here?

Christianity mate? Check your glass house because Christianity definitely calls for plenty of violence in it's verses as well.

Kill homosexuals, kill the witches, kill women if they aren't virgins, kill individuals that are nonbelievers, slaughter entire towns if they aren't Christian, and make sure to kill folks if they work on Sunday even if they are followers.

And no, Jesus did not abolish the old testament, there's a reason for it being there:

Matthew 5:17-18. Do not think that I came to abolish the aLaw or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill. For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke of the pen shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished.

You do know that many, many Christians had publicly and openly rejected the existence of yhe wbbc right? Weve even gone so far as to petition the government to label it as a hate group like the ***. I dony see Muslims openly rejecting isis, al-qaeda or hamas and their versions of Islam or their practices.

Aow me to explain further. I am a full fledged Christian, the faith itself is called Christianity, and there are many different methods of practicing this faith that are called religions. I subscribe to no church, I study the bible and reject what man has said. Dont talk to me about my faiths history when you yourself judge it by yhe actions of those who used it for power in the ancient times.

So let me get this straight, it's ok for you to condemn an entire group of people as a lesser people for the acts of a tiny fraction of a percent that commit those horrible acts, but god forbid someone dare call your religion out in its own?

Also I hate to break it to a couple of you folks, but the USA was most certainly -not- founded as a Christian nation.

Not only is it stated in the constitution under article VI that "The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States"

But it's also written in the treaty of Tripoli written in 1796 (George Washington was still in office for reference to how young the nation was at that time if you're not familiar with our historical dates.) It stated that "the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion." This treaty was signed in by John Adams who would later go on to become president.

(It's mildly ironic to note here that this was a treaty between the US and the Muslim government sanctioned pirates of the Mediterranean sea.)

Also take a look at our national motto of the time from the USAs conception up until the mid-1950s. E Pluribus Unum. "One from many." It means that though we are a nation of many people, origins, races, and beliefs, we stand together as a single nation. We are not a single religion based people, we are a community of all people.

That motto was not changed for nearly 175 years until the red scare of the 50s drove the USA to oppose the communists in every manner possible. That meant that to oppose the 'godless commies' the US would find themselves being forced to becoming a religious country to counter them.

In God We Trust was mandated as our motto in 1956, less than 60 years ago. You can probably go up to your very own grandparents and ask them and they'll probably remember reciting the pledge of allegiance in class without ever uttering the words 'under god' because it wasn't there.

The only reason the USA is considered a "Christian nation" is because people were scared in the 50s...

Seems to me that anyone who uses the word "Muslim" in direct and unequivocal association with "terrorism" is undoubtedly a prejudiced, hateful and an anti-Islamic person:

How can you label a whole religion of people being terrorists when probably about 1% of them are extremists. As if there haven't been catholic/Protestant conflicts in the past. Regardless, a lot of what you hear and see is filtered through the media, manipulated to create an image of "evil". Ask yourself this: do you really view a Muslim (male more often than female) as the personification of evil? How is that justifiable? You don't know many Muslims if you can say that because honestly, from my experience, they're just ordinary people.

You remember the last time someone started claiming one religion was bad? And people started to blindly follow it?

That's right, world war 2 and genocide.

Surely we should learn from the past, and acknowledge that when the west controls the media, then attacks countries in Asia, then obviously the western media will be biased. Come on man, who even thinks that the news or politics is actually legit?

The terrorists who murder people do it out of their own extremist views, the religion Islam neither condones these actions or is proud of them, surely, the recent events in Pakistan prove this?

Over 130 children were gunned down in a school in a MUSLIM country, these were Muslim children, killed by extremist groups, are you saying that those children were terrorists? Or that the terrorists who killed those children were actually Muslims? Why would they kill their own? Gotta question what you hear and think for yourself.

When did I ever say that this was a purely Christian nation? Id anything it has fallen into moral decay because of the recent pc war on Christianity.

I would like to point out that lately atheists and religion haters have come to demonize Christianity because of how we retaliated against the Muslim invasion a thousand years ago. How is that fair?

First I never said that -you- said it was a Christian nation, I said it to the others that had mentioned it in the thread.

Second, war on Christianity? It's time to turn off Fox 'news'. If you think this thread where pretty much all that's been said against Christians (and haters in general) is that y'all need to stop hatin' all of Islam for the actions of a tiny minority, is a branch of that 'War on Christianity, then you need a reality check. I didn't realize that asking for folks to treat each other like equals was considered an attack on Christianity.

Oh, and you don't like it when folks blame your entire religious entity for actions you didn't commit? That's irony.

The tiny minority's killing anyone who doesn't convert to Islam Daddrobit. If thats not a war on Christianity than what is? Your naivity is disturbing Daddrobit .

Do not confuse my compassion for the common man for naivety.

But what would you have the govt. do to these people? Put them on a registry? Maybe we can call for a boycott against any business owned by Muslims? Maybe round them all up before they can possibly cause harm? Throw them all in 'rehabilitation centers'? Oh, and maybe we can show some benevolence and give them little motivational quips here and there around the camps, maybe something like "Work will set you free"?

/sarcasm

It is not naive to show compassion for those that you do not know. However it is -extremely- childish to simply default to hatred against 1.5 billion people for the actions of a few.

You can say that with any war. There have always been casualties, sorry but that's just how it is. Muslim terrorists actively attack American civilians, why not preach to them? Do you think we would of won WW2 with that attitude, second guessing everything out of fear of not being morally whatever.It's not hatred its reason.

Which God should I pray to if I want Strafing removed from Dust?
