Now, why is that? Why is kinky consensual sex seen as an abomination, while things like sex trafficking are ignored?

Should we be able to start discriminating against you because you go to a certain church, or because you believe in the same book as those people who committed those "other killings"?


I will admit though, I do agree with part of your post. The people who do these things are barbaric, cowardly, ignorant, and evil. I do NOT agree that they are all like that, as you seem to be saying. That would be a very stupid and ignorant thing to say, so I hope that isn't what you meant?


You do realize though, I hope, that Muslims all over this country are saying the very same thing you fundies do... "They aren't true Muslims" "A real Muslim wouldn't do those thing", etc etc. So what makes it okay for you guys to say that, and not them?
I do not believe most muslims are crazies. I do believe muslims are WAY MORE likely to commit these type of attacks than any other group. Turn on the new- we hear it daily- suicide bombings in Syria, Iraq, Pakistan, etc. Look at Paris, 9/11, Orlando, Southern California- what is the common denominator- Islam. Their culture teaches hatred, fear, and violence. They treat women like garbage, and use children as shields. How much more evidence do PC liberals want before thy realize that Islam is evil?

Oh you mean the Bible? Yea the book that you apparently reject yet claim to be a Christian. Not sure how many people are buying your twisted version of the gospel. Probably very few. All you do here is show your own biblical ignorance. The OT laws instructed a death penalty for the Israelites only. The death of Christ fulfilled the purpose of that law and we are saved by grace, not strict obedience to a set of rules. Therefore, sin can be forgiven and a person renewed spiritually.

Disgusting lie. I don't believe it's is the duty of a faith follower to behead, torture, rape and murder those who are not members of the faith.

Your attacks are tiresome. Making up insults and lies about someone which you do here, is my definition of being mean. I will NEVER respect you or take anything you post seriously as long as you persist in spewing hate rhetoric and disrespect.

Considering the source, it has to be a pile of garbage. I'll pass. See what happens when you are not nice to people?

Not surprisingly the usual suspects use the massacre as an opportunity to say how evil Christians are. Some even blame Christians for the killings.

Some things never change......

They ignore sex trafficking because a LOT of Christians use prostitutes and look at child porn on the internet.

Its unbelievable. I knew these people harbor a lot of resentment against Christians, but now I know that 'resentment' is not a strong enough word to describe it. It goes much deeper into the dark side than resentment.

No, I'm just illuminating your rank hypocrisy, wherein you want to blame all Muslims for the murders of some but refuse to do the same with Christians, as well as your ignorance and/or opportunism wherein you try to use the acts of an American-born terrorist to rationalize excluding Muslim immigrants.

I care about terrorism, period. You your ilk care about it only to the extent that you can use it to point the finger at Muslims. When it's some other group doing the killing and maiming, suddenly you're all circumspect.

Could have had another story about anti gay killing


Heavily armed man was headed to L.A. gay pride event - World - CBC News


When large parts of society, including governments and political parties, marginalize or try to dehumanize a segment of society, it is seemed like a form of encouragement for actions from the extremists and the mentally unstable. I have listened to recordings of religious leaders, Christian, Muslim and Jew, who advocate for the imprisonment or even death of gays and who tell their followers that to be gay is not only to be wrong but is an assault on their religion or way of life. To think that eventually some people will not act upon this is simply wishful thinking.

Instead of a couple of drive by and vanish comments, how about some Christian getting upset at being criticized over this event address post 140 ?

Finn?

Jeff?

Bryan?

Anyone ?
