Who is lying about Jesus????????

This is exactly what we've been saying....you have to LIVE IT...it's a WAY OF LIFE...you'll get nowhere just yacking about Jesus and the way he lived...you have to actually show others that YOU ACTUALLY LIVE IT the way he taught us to.

One thing you may want to consider too, is like me, some people love Jesus like he is a brother to them. It's disgusting to have people talk trash about him. THe passion some people have about the issue is all about their love and devotion to a beloved brother. What if someone talked about your beloved brother as if he was a liar, and who never suffered? Around my house, he is family.

People speaking the truth about Jesus is not "yacking".

ALL of Islam teaches that Jesus was a false prophet who lied about who he was, and decieved people into making them THINK he was crucified. All atheists have the wrong idea about him. A lot of people claim he never even existed, much less believe in the messages he brings. I could go on.... You want to talk about people "yacking", what about all the lies people tell of Jesus, dragging his good name and legacy through the mud? I don't care if you are a murderer, if you speak out the truth about Jesus, you will get an "Amen" out of me.

Thank you...you just beautifully PROVED MY POINT. This attitude is a perfect example of what's wrong with some Christians and why nonbelievers run the other way.

I would not be tolerating a murderer by agreeing with one because he spoke the truth about something. Just because we all agree whith a murderer about the sky being blue doesn't mean we should all tolerate murder.

Tolerating evil is what Islam does. It is in the Koran and other "holy books" that spells out Muhammad as an unrepentant violent bigot, mass murderer, thief, rapist, and a prdophile, and all of Islam LOVES and gives him all the faith in the world with a "We should be like him", attitude. Talk about being hypocritical..

..and Muslims feel the same about Allah so perhaps you might like to go back and read your vehement anti -Islam posts and consider THEIR feelings when they read what you write. You demand respect for your beliefs whilst not being prepared to give to others what you demand should be given to you. We call that hypocrisy.

This is the type of behavior I am expressly talking about. Christianity claims to be the superior religion and yet there are very few "Christians" who actually do what their holy books tells them to do. There are just as many hardcore fundamentalist Christians as there are Muslims...fanatics are DANGEROUS no matter what religion they adhere to...the Westboro crew is a perfect example of that...and they are living so far from the TRUTH of what Jesus taught it isn't even worth going into. Not ALL Muslims are terrorists...there are many who want to live in peace just as we do.

If you cannot respect, love and live in harmony and peace with others because their beliefs are different from yours...how can you expect them to respect, love and live in harmony and peace with yours. Don't you understand that this is the entire goal of religions...all religions???

Christians completely lose all credibility regarding their beliefs when they spout this disprespectful nonsense...this is not what Jesus taught us to do...so again I ask this question: Why is Jesus completely ignored???????????
