What the fuck? I said "plenty of Good Christians". Maybe I should have quoted the "Good Christians" part.
I have family and friends who are Christian and I have no problem with it. A person's relationship between themselves and God is their business.
Are you prepared to state that there are no Americans who consider themselves "god fearing folk" who would have no trouble with harming those "not like themselves"?
After all, we've never seen any sort of violence against blacks by "Good Christians", have we?
Or violence against gays, when there are plenty of preachers expounding upon how evil and sick they are, and what a threat they are to society? No, of course not. No Good Christian would do that.
And how many people have been beheaded by Greenpeace activists?
Really sorry to have offended you with my blasphemy /s
I'm Christian and I don't think anything pstuart said about "plenty of Good Christians" was either inaccurate or imputed a propensity toward religious violence to Christians generally, merely indicated that the human propensity for such things was not especially lacking in the Christian community, and which could be expected to erupt from some segments of that community were it sanctioned by law.
Which any honest Christian would have to admit is well-grounded factually.
Are you trolling or stupid? I never said all Christians are violent. I said that there are plenty (that's a number that means "enough to matter") that are.
Time to own up: are you a Christian? Is that why you are butthurt and making up lies about my intent?
You didn't say "all", but you did say "plenty" when there aren't any. When implying mass murder, that is indeed a sore point - when there IS another [sub]group which IS, today, beheading Christians and pushing homosexuals off buildings for their views.
Ok. You're a Christian. So you're completely biased which comes through in the way you distort what I say, e.g.
> You didn't say "all", but you did say "plenty" when there aren't any. When implying mass murder[...]
Aren't any? You have no proof and history suggests otherwise. And it wasn't mass murder that I was suggesting, it was targeted attacks.
By your username I'm betting that you're Irish Catholic. You've been conditioned to never question the faith and demonstrate that by attacking everything I've said. We all know the Church has never done anything wrong at all. Ever!
But if it makes you feel better, I think your new Pope is great -- he walks the talk and espouses the "good stuff" about Jesus. His only failing to date has been to condemn blasphemy, which is a horrible mistake.
Lastly, I offer this thought experiment: do you think any of the islamic terrorists we read about consider themselves "Good Muslims"? Can people be devout and do horrible things colored by that way of mind?
