    Since you allegedly asked again, maybe you can point out where you asked it the first time.

    Maybe? Maybe? C'mon, now. You're going to lose your right to rant against the religious if you use weasel words like that. :lol:

    I know there's still an official "Inquisitor" in the RC church but that's like saying the U.S. still has an official space program.

    So 8 murders, 17 attempted murders, 383 death threats, 153 incidents of assault or battery and 3 kidnappings doesn't justify any sort of criticism as far as you're concerned?


    Wow. You're a real piece of shit. :)

    Care to explain how having someone in an official position who excommunicates people who deviate from official church policy and censures those who teach things contrary to church doctrine whether they be scientific or otherwise is any different than the situation of Galileo? Because they sound like the exact same fucking thing to me.

    Please, everyone knows that isolated incidents are not indicative of the behavior of a population, unless of course, it's Islam, in which case everyone is hijab wearing suicide bomber.

    Quoting myself here, Doc, since you want to make this about me and not the subject.


    The government and the heads of the denominations, if they took notice of these murderers at all, merely condemned them for what they were. Murderers. You trying to gin up something that's not there is more indicative that the only problem with handling this is on your side, not theirs.

    If you think this is proof of a real terrorist conspiracy, then perhaps you'd better take your "evidence" to the FBI or Homeland Security. It's not playing too well here. I'm sure they'll treat your concerns with all the seriousness they deserve.

    Ask the soldiers back from Iraq / Afghanistan whether they were experiencing "isolated" incidents" :rolleyes:

    You think being given a stern lecture is the same thing as imprisonment and/or torture?

    It only differs in that the church's power over state rulers has waned considerably since the Renaissance. Civil authority no longer allows it to arbitrarily murder citizens.

    Isolated incidents of what? Or were you about to explain, with substantiation, of course, that Saddam loyalists were fighting for religious reasons?

    Exactly my point (from 167 on). We don't live under this type of rule any longer.

    I don't have to explain every single act of violence in the world to show that some Muslim extremists have been attacking US targets. :shrug:

    And so have some Christian extremists, but you're not very interested in that, are you? :shrug:

    Why wasn't Bill O'Reilly, either locked up, or at the least fired over that whole debacle?

    Oh, that's right, our society is a sick, badly constructed, unfunny fucking joke.

    These were all Christians, ordered by their churches to perform these acts? I didn't see that in the "evidence" you posted.

    You do know that there are some non-Christians who are opposed to abortion, don't you?

    You do know that there are just some crazies out there who do stupid things, right?

    Depends what you consider a "church"
    Was Osam Bin Laden a Shaikh just because he called himself one?

    To paraphrase a terrible person, "I don't have to explain every single act of violence in the world to show that some Christian extremists have been attacking US targets. :shrug:."



    *That terrible person was you, by the way.

    You'll note I don't think the job was finished by locking up the trigger man.

    Remember, Charles Manson's name is synonymous with murder, but he was just the idea guy too.

    I know what I said and your misquoting me out of context is just more proof that I'm wasting my time. But I can point you to Iraq / Afghanistan and a good number of the attacks there and hope you'll see that the crazy adherents of one religion who are willing to commit violence far outnumber any crazies on the Christian side.

    The original context is included in my post, ya loon.
    That's the best defense you've got? That Muslims living in warzones commit more acts of violence than Christians in America?

    Come on.

    I purposely didn't include NYC, DC, or Shanksville on 9/11. Were those warzones as well, Doc?
