Most Christians in this country behave nothing like Christ and haven't the foggiest clue what's in the Bible.
ANYONE blowing up a clinic is NOT A CHRISTIAN. Why is that you all can separate Muslims from Muslim Extremists yet you lump crazy religious people all together as Christians?!?

Also, I think and this goes for a lot of posters on this thread...just because you don't hear or see acts of terrorism in the US DOES NOT mean it's not here. We see a pin prick of what goes on behind the scenes. It is mind blowing how many acts are stopped and no one will ever know about it.
Muslims control the government now? Is that the new incarnation of the old neo-Nazi myth about how the Jewish supposedly control the government?

You seem confused, we're a theocracy alright ... a Christian theocracy. Not an Islamic state.

Google the "Kill the gays" bill in Uganda. It was designed, lobbied in Congress, and supported by American evangelicals and groups like Family Research Council.

As for wanting to blow up the middle east? When in war, that's what we do. We drop bombs and defend ourselves by killing those that try to kill us.
Jesus never supported war or dropping bombs on innocent people. He opposed all fighting and weapons.

all of this is a "bright shining object" to keep us from thinking bout the terrorism of a drug epidemic that is killing hundreds a day despite our "War on Drugs".

Well, he broke bad on the money changers in the temple.

And many will say anyone blowing up a concert are Not Muslim. People manipulate religion to justify any action.

I did no such thing. Try reading the context of my post and who I was responding to. I don't believe Christian terrorists are behaving like Christians. I don't think most of the people in this country, despite claiming to be Christian, actually behave like one.

I'm a Messianic Jew, and I stand by Gandhi's sentiment: "I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. They are nothing like your Christ."

Did he? How so? Calling them out on their greed and evil isn't going into the temple and gunning them all down.

Posters are always babbling about how the Koran says this or that ... but what about the Christian fundamentalists like Ted Cruz who think that the Bible should dictate government policy?


Goldwater was right. The American Right has been hijacked by Christian fundamentalists.
Please list all of the people murdered in the last 100 years by the "religious right".

Please list all videos by the "religious right" that shows beheadings.

Please list all of the bombings on innocent people by the "religious right".

Please list all "religious right" who said that the kids in the Manchester bombing "deserved it".

Please list all of the hijackings of planes done by the "religious right".

Please list all of the "work place violence" by the "religious right".

Please list all of the buildings taken down by the "religious right".

Please list all of the stabbings by the "religious right".

Please list all of the rapes by the "religious right".

Please list all of the countries that the "religious right" have invaded and demanded that everyone convert or be beaten or killed if they don't.

Please list all of the suicide bombings by the "religious right".

Please list every time someone on the "religious right" committed a crime right after screaming that it was in God's name.

Please tell us who, exactly, is the "religious right".

Is it racist to hate the "religious right" as the left claims it's 'racist' to despise Islam and/or Muslims?

What race are the "reglious right". Are there any "religious left"? Is it only "the right" who is religious?

Please provide excerpts of text from the "religous right" where a leader stood up and said that those who don't convert will be killed. No, not "life after death" judgements, I mean by other humans.

Please provide evidence where the "religious right" makes females stay at home, cover up in big, black blankets from head to foot, won't allow them to vote, won't allow them to drive, won't allow them to walk alone, will mutilate them, and treats them like cattle.

Please point out how many terror attacks we've had from the "religious right" during the past 2 months. We can then compare it to the Ramadan Bombathon numbers.

This is true, but I also posted links to articles showing that the majority of terrorism in this country is by right-wing extremists and Islamic terror attacks are far more likely to be stopped than right-wing terrorism.

Yet Republicans/Conservatives don't put any effort into combating right-wing extremism on their own side.

Ask that question again.

Just destroyed your own argument... way to go sunshine!



You still haven't caught on to that; using an emotionally charged broad brush statements expose you for your intollerance...

Hmm... Let's compare these two religions...

Christianity
And Jesus said unto them, Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's. And they marvelled greatly at him.

Islam
Fight against those who believe not in Allah, (people of scripture/atheists), nor in the Last Day, nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e. Islam) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizyah (tax on religion other than Islam) with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.
