Poor little J.
I've been asked to not call them christers. So there.
Not hate, just the facts. Just the facts.
You should try them sometime, it could be refreshing.

Too bad you don't want to look at the history of the c's.
It's a real eye-opener.

Trouble is you won't look at history without those blinders on.

Why can't you just type Christians? Quite calling names.

Oh yes, you are quite right - so you must despise the homosexuals and liberals for imposing their beliefs on innocent school children via curriculums and school policies that are mandated by law.

It is certainly not the belief of many that children should be given condoms at school. It is certainly not the belief of many that children should be taught about homosexuality in school. And yet . . . and yet . . . we see both happening all over our country because these practices are mandated legally.

It goes both ways. See how that works?

I think the OP forgot that islamophobia and antisemitism are already pretty rampant.

As for christianity, I as raised a Christian, but always thought religion was complete crap. Any <insert any religion>phobia is more than welcomed.

The day adults stop basing their lives on fables, maybe we can focus on what matters.

The Nazi's weren't socialists, Hitler purged the party of socialists as soon as he gained control. The socialists in Germany belonged to the socialist democratic party, which he attacked and drove underground. Hitler wasn't friends with communists, he hated communists. He was friends with big business, which is part of why so many big American industrialists actually supported him. Yeah, reality!!!!
There is no difference ... this is all fodder for those who buy into this boogie man routine, and if you had a clue, you'd know that! Hitler was financed and put into power by the same financiers that financed the Bolshevik Revolution, OK? How do you think Germany recovered so quickly from WW I ... the nation was destroyed, and bankrupt. The bankers Built him up ... and tore him down after he wreaked havoc on Europe. Nice for the banking business .... provide all of the money for war .... and provide all the money for rebuilding afterward.

What do you think ... you think Hitler was a conservative/capitalist? ROTFLMAO Let me spell it out for you, conservatives aren't known to be big on Fascist DICTATORSHIPS. Hitler was a Fascist-Leftist (So was Mussolini) ... you want to use the term "Nationalist" ... I've got no problem with that term ... but that's just a "flavor" ... and a psychological tactic ... appeal to the patriotism and nationalistic leanings of the public to gain their support. And this was his tactic throughout his rampage across Europe.

Starting out ... the Democratic Socialists were simply Hitler's boogie man ... his "Muslim Terrorists" his "Al Qaeda" .... the pretext for his seizing dictatorial power to "save the fatherland" from those evil revolutionaries. Tactics ... nothing whatsoever to do with ideology.

You believe this "Al Qaeda" nonsense going on today? Do you really? Then tell us why we are fighting against Al Qaeda in Afghanistan ... and funding and aiding them in Libya? I'd like to hear your wisdom on that rather inexplicable contradiction in "Ideology". LOL

It's a game, bubba ...and they always employ the same tactics, over and over and over again. And they always win, while we always lose. We pay cost in blood, and they collect the profits in treasure.

You're living in a Fascist State right now, and you don't even know it. And these boys are not "Nationalists" .... they are "Inter-Nationalists". They don't have a "nationalist" bone in their bodies ... which is why they have no problem destroying the nations they finance ... including the one you're in right now.

Oh yes ... one more thing .... Hitler agrees with me ... and he thinks you don't know what you are talking about. How do I know? He said so:

"We are socialists, we are enemies of today's capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions." --Adolf Hitler (Speech of May 1, 1927)

Chew on that for a while.

Well Christianity has a very very bloody and sordid history.

Question The Rise of Christianphobia

Is Christianity so feeble that it can't stand up to a little criticism?

Didn't Christianity survive the Roman persecution where the Christians were fed to the lions?

Why are today's Christians such wimps?

The pastor was spot-on in suggesting that the first two pillars are pretty much guaranteed, but it is the third that is most challenging and where most Christians fail.

Couldn't agree more with him. What do you think?
I completely agree with that. Emulating Christ is a very difficult challenge because weakness of character and weakness of will obviously lead people to sinful behavior. I don't deny that there are urges and emotions I have that go against the teachings of Jesus, that's simply part of being human and therein lies the challenge -- having the strength of character to overcome those feelings.

Too many people who call themselves Christian simply go through the motions and think that all that's required of them is to believe in Jesus and attend church, however they stop short of living their lives inspired by Jesus. It's pointless to spend every Sunday in church if you think of it as nothing more than your 'get out of Hell free card', but sadly too many people do just that.

Though I can't say I've never belonged to a church that told you to preach to people outside of the church. I don't deny that some churches do preach that, but I haven't ever belonged to one that did.
