Personally, you explain it as all christians use the OT to justfy their hate but who are you speaking too? Are you blaming the quakers for not supporting violence? Are you blaming the chinese christians for seeking freedom of speech?
Who are all these so called christians using the OT to justify their hatred? |
I grew up in the Bible Belt (USA). Believe me there are many, many Christians who cite the Old Testament whenever the subject of homosexuality comes up ... although they also conveniently ignore the parts of the OT that call for women who have sex during their menstral cycle to be stoned; or where Yahweh calls for children to be killed; etc., etc. |

She certainly doesn't have much in the way of intellectual reservoirs to draw upon, I'll grant you. Christian bimbos. |

Saying that Ive yet to read Mein Kampf so I should probably stop giving Hitler a hard time. After all it is completely ridiculous to critiscise an organisation/person's actions without first perusing their literature. |
That analogy doesn't work of course because Hitler was the author of the book whereas Christians haven't each written the Bible. |
OK, then, how about this: Hitler was the originator and central figure of Nazism, the way Jesus was for Christianity. Mein Kampf is a sort of Bible for Nazis. So, do I have to read Mein Kampf cover-to-cover before criticizing Nazis or Nazism? Do I have to read the Bible cover-to-cover before criticizing those -few- Christians who bomb abortion clinics and murder doctors? |

| Charlton Hesting will be playing Mohammed in the full movie version of the Quran. It will be directed by Mel Gibson who will go through a drunken anti Zionist diatribe. |

I hope you're not insinuating what I think you're insinuating. Christians are by and large a bunch of hypocritical, hateful twats? Could it be? |

No, of course not.
Depending on your level of interest though (and for those posting on a forum on the subject I would rate their interest as high) you would find yourself better able to convince a person from any school of thought that their position is wrong if you knew what they were supposed to believe compared to what they claim.
Of course, Orthodox Christianity doesn't follow sola scriptura so when discussing that subject, just relaying on Bible quotes doesn't do anybody any good. Depends on which branch you're talking about. |

Look on the bright side. When you do get around to reading the Koran and Mein Kampf you can easily find them on the same shelf at your local Muslim bookstore. |

| I have read both and found them mildly enjoyable. That said, no matter how many times you read them - that doesn't make them factual. One needs to know the history surrounding the books they read, not just the text of the books themselves. |

I do not believe in the God of theology who rewards good and punishes evil.

I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation and is but a reflection of human frailty.

I'm not insinuating anything. It's a fact that many Bible thumpers in the South love to quote the OT when it fits their agenda, especially regarding homosexuality. But one rarely hears them address the passages where Yahweh is portrayed as a bloodthirsty, capricious, xenophobic deity. You can draw your own conclusion. |

Who was it on this board who was saying homosexuals should be put to death, right after Chris Neil was caught? |
