Be more like Jesus and all that. Open your mind and be less bigoted and ignorant.

Though concerning what side of the fence you lean on politically, I know you and your ilk have a hard time doing that.

Oh well. Here's my pity - keep the change.

Yeah, don't read the sienna so you don't have to see the truth in more ways than one.

Oh, I AM being like Jesus, but since you don't read sienna you'll not know this.

Is that why we have murdered and oppressed them while we occupy their countries?

Really? We go out and "murder" them? Maybe we are trying to control them to keep their violence down as much as possible? If you remember, they hijacked our planes-filled with OUR citizens and flew them into OUR buildings. Who would think of something like that?

Mexicans come to America to become Americans and work. The Irish came to America to become Americans and work and build families in freedom. Same with the Germans and Italians.

The Muslims come to America to be Muslims. And when their numbers are sufficient, you will find out just how "peaceful" they are.

Comparing US treatment of Christians to 1930's germany for jews is like comparing a misquito bite to being shot in the chest with a 120mm armor piercing tank round from an M1A Abrams battle tank.
It (anti-semitism) started out small. Little things. Demonization in the press, in culture. Much like what has started to happen in recent times toward Christians.

^This. Rather, hate speech and lies about Christians has become acceptable, while it's unacceptable to "say wrong" against other religions such as Islam and Atheism. The country keeps going this route, and it's going to be bad.

I don't agree with it but I have no sympathy for the Muslims. They brought it onto themselves by trying to stifle freedom of speech in smaller previous incidents.

You don't get to decide who is/is not christian.
They do.
Most of the murderers in the US are christian, too!

I see it as a religion of hatred.

The problem here is that when people, who are uneducated about what REAL Christians stand for, think about Christians stories like these are the first things that come to their minds because these are the "Christians" that get the most publicity. It needs to stop.

Christians who agree with this wholeheartedly, think about this: Would you want them coming to one of the festivals, or what have you, at your church and putting up bigoted signs?
All christians are self-identified.
You don't get to determine who is and who isn't. That's the No True Scotsman fallacy.

Don't forget that lots of US christians are killing muslims in the ME simply because they're muslim.
What's a person to think?

Christian is a pretty loose term out there these days. Give me 2 minutes with any of these people and they will walk away knowing full well they are not Christian in any way shape or form!!!!!!
Again, you're all self-identified.
How many of you use your religion to hate women, gays, etc?
Generic you try to force your religion in our laws.
I see it hundreds of times a week on CD.

I believe these whackaloons are christians.
Taunting and harassing people seems to be christian business.
I guess that this is how this sect converts.

What gives you the right or authority to say who is/is not christian.
Look at the logic fallacy above.

True Christian or not, I don't know. I do know they are awful salesmen.

How about the Uppa U Ass and adjoining parts of Canada? Do you think those regions are much different? Well, yeah, but only being the opposite in many things.
