I just watched a couple of Kristian preachers on TV that called for the complete destruction of the United States because the country allowed gays to marry instead of, as the one preacher called for, being executed. The other preacher claimed God would erase our country with nuclear bombs because we allowed legal abortion and gays to get married and other for acts against God.


I realize that our country protects the individual right to say whatever they please most of the time. Is a passionate call for mass murder, the extermination of gay people, protected speech? I wonder if this preacher would extend his cry for extermination to all non Christians? If so that exhortation is a threat to me. How should I respond to some person calling for my death because I do not believe in his particular brand of religion? How should you?

What kind of culture celebrates their kids chopping off limbs? (or honor killing your daughter for kissing a boy)

Is this par for the course, or an isolated occurrence?
Sounds like a Christian following the dictates of Matthew 5:30 to me.

30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

Welcome to Islam. This is the culture that Barack Hussein Obama wants to import, by the thousands of individuals, against U.S. immigration policy and law, and settle (infiltrate) them IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

We see what this brings by looking at what's happening in Europe today. These people are uncivilized animals.

An inferior, savage culture. That's the kind. Only sick, twisted people that do this stuff and perpetuate it. Bleh.

I predict that you'll be deeply disappointed by the lack of terrorist activity here in the USA.

Oh, please!!! Do you really think that was meant literally? That's the problem with you non-believers. You know only enough to quote at such 'appropriate' times, with no clue about the meaning of anything. Just like the "eye for eye and tooth for tooth," which means that the punishment should fit the crime, you go " , see? Those Christians are just as bad as Muslims!"

You are clueless!

In the future, please learn how to make analogies. This really misses the mark.
Some people just can't help themselves.

I think you're straying a bit from the topic. And I doubt that only Republicans have their weird followers. Democrats are anything but Saints.

Matthew 5:30 And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.

There's plenty of reasons why I am not a fan of the abrahamic religions, and this would be one of them.
and who's practicing this?
