What IS the difference between radical Islam now and radical Christianity of 300 years ago?

You have admitted you preach to people who don't believe what you tell them. They're probably sitting in the pews thinking "Balderdash!" What are you going to do if one of them says "Balderdash!" out loud during a sermon? Which would be exciting! An insurrection against a fundamentalist preacher!!

It's such a great country. No one is forced to be a fundamentalist and people can tell a fundamentalist preacher "Balderdash!" without worrying about being hauled off to the gulag. I LOVE the First Amendment*.


*I also love the 14th Amendment which the conservative fundies hate. It's a GLORIOUS country. Woo hoo! Let us all join hands and sing "God bless America... Land that I love...."

One of Viz' pet responses is that God ordered "executions" of very naughty people who deserved to die. So, in his world, they were sanctioned killings - even the babies who had their brains bashed in by God's minions. They deserved it and his God created 'em so he can do what he darn well pleases. And killing people seems to please him plenty.

I mean - "causing to be executed."

Indigenous people have been harvesting pilot whales for thousands of years in the Faroe Islands. You do understand what an indigenous person is don't you?

There are no dolphins harvested in the North Atlantic.

lol.
I thought you gonna come up with a lame excuse to cover your friend but you went straight into panic mode.

Are you feeling OK?
Take a deep breath and drink some cold water. It's going to be OK.

btw, this is what they do to dolphins and whales in Denmark. And that's every year!

I am sure you will find some sort of a instant justification.

Perhaps they are religious Christians?

That's a red herring. Almost literally.

In other words, to you, real facts don't matter.

Got it.
