There's no violence in the Christian bible? Christians are for homosexuals?

They need to deal with it.

Then go find all of the beheadings, bombings, acid-throwing and related sorts of violent acts taking place today by Christians in the name of Jesus and start your own thread, instead of hijacking this one.

If you're actually asking about events in the Old Testament and what their history/meaning was at the time (which I doubt) you can go to the religion forum.

I wasn't thread-jacking, I was responding to a specific post that compared Christianity to Islam.
I don't think Islam itself promotes beheadings. I think extremists pervert Islam but don't represent it. There are millions and millions of Muslims who don't behead anyone, and they probably hate the extremists even more than we do.

The Church and Christians fail when they think paganism can be sprinkled with Christianity......
Chapter 5: Pagan Survivals in Visigothic Spain

The Catholic Church welcomed pagans and also allowed them to bring some of their ways and rituals to the body of Christ. Then many other Christians followed suit, mainly those people either were not allowed to read the Bible or couldn't read the Bible to find the truth about killing. Governments are more involved in promoting lynchings and witch burning.......not Christians.

Violent Christians exist outside of Orthodox Christian teachings.

See the difference?
Do yourself a favor, stop posting about Islam until you actually learn something about the religion.
You're embarrassing yourself.

I am a Muslim. Are you telling me that I don't understand my own religion?
The religion that I converted to a little more than 10 years ago?
Tell me: How is it that you understand more about my religion than I do?

Then there are very few christians around, because all I see from "christians" around here is hate, name calling, judgement, and persecution.

I read Qur'an you obviously do not.
I study Qur'an, you obviously do not.
I memorize Qur'an, you obviously do not.

So, what makes you an authority on Qur'an? NOTHING!!

In Christianity isn't it a sin to bear false witness against your neighbor?
