We've been 'round this block before. How much abhorrent shit is in the Bible? There are passages in there about men having to marry the women they rape if she were previously a virgin. There's stuff in there about owning slaves, which was used as justification for keeping slavery here for as long as it was. And don't use the Dayton defense about the NT overriding the OT as proof of progress.
I am tired of the false equivalencies. I am not a Christian but do not worry much about them as they do not honor or carry out any of the old Testiment shit. The majority of muslims do support the barbarism in the Koran though so it is just a lie to pretend the two are remotely the same. Denying that is attempting to deny reality.
And where are these Christian death camps? Where are those woman forced into sexual slavery? Enough with the false equivalencies. I do agree the world would be a better place without any religion but, no, all religions are not equally bad when it comes to violence.
How do you explain the Lord's Resistance Army then? They've killed 100k in the name of Christianity. How about the nuts who shoot yo abortion clinics? How about the centuries upon centuries of murder in the name of Christianity? It's not false. It proves how religion is just an interpretation of an idea and it's the human beings who do the interpreting. This has been pointed out several times over the past few days, but as usual you you'll pretend it hasn't been said as such points only serve to inconvenience your racist rhetoric. I'm sure there's a few more lies you can make up though out of your continued desperation.
Why are you changing the subject when your absurd claim is challenged? Death camps are not required for their still to be pushing Old Testament values.
The Lord's Resistance Army is a deplorable group but not based upon the bible. It is just power hungry warlords attempting to use religion. Now, what sets groups like ISIS and Al Qaeda apart? They truly are religious fundamentalists following the Koran literally. LRA is not doing that with the bible. Like I said, all religion is bad but some religions truly are more violent and thus worse than others. It is the difference between a systematic fault and an isolated fault. But you already know this, you just want to keep playing the false equivalencies game because it suits your agenda.
Christian fundementalists - don't represent Christianity Muslim fundementalists - true followers of Islam How convenient.
It is based upon what is actually written and commanded in the Holy book. As usual you are just being willfully ignorant. All religions are bad but some really do command more violence than others.
Why do suppose 90% of all terrorist attacks world wide are carried by Islamic groups? Because the Koran really does tell the believers to attack the unbelievers. I am happy not all muslims take their supposed holy book literally but that does not change the violent nature which is spelled out specifically in it. That you try to pretend all religions are equal wrt violent commands just means you are dishonest, but we already knew that. The world would be far better off without any religion but some religions truly are worse than others in terms of violence written into the religion.
I'm not making false equivalents, or any equivalents at all. I'm correcting your wrong statement. If you don't want to be corrected, then don't make them.
And that's precisely the point. If you review Dinner's rhetoric, you will see that what I have bolded in your post describes him rather well.
What have you supposedly corrected? Something about the old testiment? Where in the world does a single country enforce anything remotely like Anna's example of women being forced to marry their rapist? Because I can point to around two dozen where Sharia, in all of it barbarism, actually is carried out. Again, more false equivalencies. Willfully so.
Read the post. It's quite clear. More babble and non-sequitors. You claimed that Christians "do not honor or carry out any of the old Testiment shit." That is FALSE. Own it.
You just love strawman arguments. I guess it is easier to lie about what other people's positions are than their actual positions. That does say something about you.
Cite? One country, give me one country where that is law. While you are at it compare the number of countries (and regions of countries) who have sharia. We both know you won't.
You brought up that the Koran condones violence. I brought up the Bible enables violence, too. Once again, to reiterate @RickDeckard 's post: ETA: @Dinner , since a few post snuck in while I was typing
I won't because that wasn't what your post said. Demanding evidence of death camps or theocracy in defense of your claim that Christians don't push the Old Testament is risible. They do push the Old Testament. Stop lying. And while we're on it, Sharia is a later development and is only partly based on the Koran.
That is American Evangelicals. Most Christians around the world don't want to have to deal with that shit anymore.
Fundamentalists are by the very definition "true" followers of a religion. The are far more Muslim fundies than there are Christian ones to be worried about; and the Muslim ones are more often than not more violent in enacting their fundamentalist beliefs.
And further, the world wouldn't be such an awful place if everyone followed the commandments, and even if 90% of the globe's people (but only that 90 per cent) were taught (and even believed) "creationism," it would not change their daily lives an iota (long as they didn't make laws based thereon) aside from maybe more smugness.
If you leave out the god-BS, those Commandments are just common sense stuff that all human societies came up with independent from one another.
He is a consistent liar on this issue. He will not own anything. He will ignore and move on to new lies. It's what hhe does.

Did you see the recent stories about how authorities in Missouri are trying to find the Arabs who bought about a hundred pre-paid cell phones in an area that was hit with major thefts of propane tanks and where a whole lot of explosive devices were found buried in a rural location? The bomb squad had to detonate them in place.
