I realize that's your thing. it's what you do.

But if you'll notice, I did not say you were posting false things. I said you were posting offensive and provocative things to make people upset.
The ongoing campaign to discredit religion iin the US (and that means Christianity) requires various methods, all of which are going to be offensive to the believers. Tough. We are not going to be shamed or bullied into going away. And disputes about who was rude first are going to be seen as a way of trying to scrape cheap points where you have no other case.

But I'll say it again: some people need a lot more to do with their time.
Give it up, old mate. This is just "please go away and let us tell our tall tales without anyone to contradict, like it used to be".

You are not fooling anyone and just giving us the chance to see how religion makes good and decent people like yourself, Vizza old mate, look bad. You deserve better. You deserve to look better and you deserve better than the false hope of religion.

Don't post false things about the religion and you might not consider me inflammatory.

So, how was I, and other readers, suppose to interpret the bolded in the first quote? You used the word 'lying'. Since when does that not mean to lie?

I once again refer you to Stetzer's blog article I linked to. He gets it. He gets that the hurt caused by the crimes and other indiscretions of church leaders and other leading fundamentalist are at fault and need to be corrected. I know you follow him, so tell me what is incorrect with his observations, which strangely enough, happen to be exactly the kind of stuff I bring to the forefront regularly.

Please answer both points.

Actually the church of that area by the will of God should rise up are declare the day, a Day of prayer for these people and make sure that they are asking God for forgiveness and to bless these people ..........As God will indeed judge any hatred from the church , and God will look for children of God to pray for the people, blessing the enemies of Christ

If a theist can't burn a bible, not out of disrespect, they need to rethink just why they believe what they believe.

How can you get on your high horse and think only christians will be blasphemed? Maybe this year it's the muslims turn. Are you OK with that?

I usually ignore them, as I concur with both of your observations.
