Good point. These people like the OP don't even believe their own mumbo jumbo. That's why they're so defensive about it. They know deep down that it's just a lot of bunk.

Oh great, the OP wants an American version of Sharia Law implemented here in the States. Where do these people come from? Even diehard conservatives will tell you that this sort of thing would never be allowed under our Constitution.

Have you noticed the OP usually drops one of these pearls on the forum, then disappears?

We call fundamental/evangelical Christianity here in the States the America Taliban. The OP appears to be a card-carrying member.

We?


I don't. I'm not evangelical, but it's a huge stretch to equate Southern Baptists with the Taliban.

Why should we respect the majority religion, when the majority religion doesn't even respect itself?

So-called christians can't even agree on whether the pope is the supreme pontiff or not.

And the many diverse Protestant sects can't even agree on how to interpret the bible.

And the only reason there are Protestants, is because Catholics couldn't defeat them in battle after battle or war after war, so apparently, god wasn't on the side of Catholics.

If it were up to Protestants, there wouldn't be any Catholics, but in battle after battle and war after war, Protestants couldn't defeat Catholics, either, so apparently they didn't have god on their side.

And how could anyone respect a religion that worships an immoral and unethical deity that prefers dictatorship over democracy and condones slavery, genocide, rape, incest and the treatment of women as 2nd class citizens?

I disagree. A nation-state with the Southern Baptist Church as it's sole ruling authority would be the kind of place that would be ostracized from the international community for crimes against human rights.

Oh yeah. Seldom tries to even argue the issue, and never very hard. I think s/he keeps trying new approaches, trying to hit on one that has everyone nodding their heads in agreement. Doesn't get that just about all of us can identify this particular brand of anti-americanism from a mile off.

Christianity does not have any death penalty or any blasphemy law unlike Islam so you failed.
