Since you're not a tolerant Christian, it's rather hypocritical for you to criticize intolerant atheists.

Muhammad: Kill the infidel

Psst, Fiyero....................you're an infidel.
Yeah, so why don't you follow Jesus' commands of love and non-judgement? Every post you make on this board is nasty, divisive, and insulting.

But again, I'm a bit skeptical as to what you define as "hate" because that's one of the main strategies out of the Neo Prog playbook; call anything that they disagree with "hate."
Why is everyone that disagrees with you a Neo Prog? What exactly do you know about me to say that? It has become a cliché and you look stupid when you call people that.

And yes, you are hateful. You stereotype people you know nothing about and resort to name-calling. You show no respect towards other posters that have a different opinion. You are nothing like Jesus at all. Nothing.

So true. I would say more, but it's against the rules, so use your imagination.

So true. It gets nauseating, so I mostly don't read her extremly small minded posts anymore.

Let's face it. A large fraction of our species, homo sapiens, love to kill. If it's not war, it's someone they disagree with, if not them then it's indiscriminately killing animals. Those who enjoy killing should be the first to take the bullet. Then there are those who defend them if the word, "Christian" is attached to the killing or threats of killing.

There have been more people killed in the name of religion, and specifically Christianity over the millenia than for any other single thing. There are good people who are Christian, but triple the number who claim to be Christian who are nothing more than liars, murderers and rapists.

Looks like patriots vs traitors rather than a comment about religious ststus.

Imagine the virulent comments you'd get from muslims on the street.
Collecting comments on the latest electronic forum is akin to the country listening to your dad or uncle rage on in no uncertain terms while listening to the news. Featuring an given segmnet of society and characterizing other members with such singular attributes is the basis of racism.

Atheists should have no bearing on any discussion of religious expression. No one is bothering them, they are in a minority and should take no comfort in inconviencing their fellow countrymen for the sake of publicity and legal exercise in the name of their cause.

Organized religion is under attack in this country as percieved by its victims. Secular law cannot repalce religious tennants as there can never be enough laws to cover all bases. Such a large collection of laws would consume all our freedom and still not be complete. The law of man is then open to appeals, reversals and interpretation which leaves no reference point for behavioral standards.

In God we trust.

Trying to make Christians the equivalent of Muslim warmongers is all this is about.

I have no clue what you're talking about. God gave 613 laws. Only 2 of them are in our nation's laws.

As for man's law being open to interpretation. Um, hello! There are over 35,000 Christian denominations arguing over the interpretation of God's laws. Hypocrisy alert!

Spot on. She is NOTHING like Jesus, and never will be. She does, however, embody 99.9% of the "christians" I know, so I'm really not surprised. They are an extremely hate-filled group.

I've never professed unconditional tolerance, so how am I a hypocrite? Neo Progs confuse disagreement with hate, yet you guys profess " tolerance" but are only tolerant to those you agree with. Where's the nobility in that?
