Pointless

I don't think crusade is the right word

there is a diffrence 2 sum rigth wing people fire bombing a mosque then a politcal group BOMBING SUMMIT


as its not that easy 2 make a bomb

a right wing group is a political group... hence "right wing"

btw I don't support the allegded bomb plot - it just said I could understand why they could think like that.

just get a job in the city

you told me I was an idiot when I said I could understand the palestinian suicide bombers

HEY,

DONT U DARE ACCUSE HIM OF BEING WRONG

palestinian suicide bombers target civilian children.

theres no justification.

and there no justification in bombing sum1's place of worship

no place of worship was bombed.

Perhaps they got the idea from the old testament, when G-d killed all the eldest children of other religious backgrounds?

Christ, and you call me intolerant

but was going 2 be tho if things went acording 2 plan

G-d eh do u mean god

didn't say it was justified. said I could understand it

Well, yes in a way Joe, but you are forgetting that a circumcision or a baptism are not reversible things? You may permit a child to watch television, then take that away, but surely dressing in clothes and schooling are legal requirements of this country?

So why should you do it to a child is all im asking. Who ever it is, whatever thier age, it is still "forcing your beliefs" on someone.

WORD. Religion may be 'interpretive' but when you are supposed to live your lives by them would you get into trouble with your God for not following them?

My personal interpretation of the Bible is that it is a make believe story, much like we have stories with morals in today - so since I have interpreted the Bible this way, will i go to "Hell"? somehow I am unsure that I would, I would simply stand at the pearly gates and repent my sins in life.

shalom.

OH MY GOD THAT WAS ME NOT KERRY

Can a mod delete that post please?

Oh man, there are so many things that I want to answer in this post but I've got so much work on at the moment!!! If the worst comes to the worst I'll answer them after all my deadlines on the 7th December, but i WILL answer them!!! There's needs to be some serious Christian logic injected into this thread again!

oh yes this sahould be fun. bring it on

And another point I was mulling over in my seminar this morning.

The G-d of the old testament openly admits His responsibility for:

a) the slaughter of all eldest children born to families of non-Jewish religion (how ironic that peace-loving Jews celebrate this slaughter, incidentally)

and

b) indirectly, the slaughter of all the citizens of Jericho, again because of their religion.

When one considers that this, it is morally indistinguishable from the holocaust in Nazi Germany - the extermination of a people on the basis of their religion.

Why, then, Joe, have you devoted you life to the worship and adulation of a being responsible for such acts, whilst on the other hand (quite rightly) denouncing Hitler as perhaps the most hated and evil man in all of history?

i dont know how u can compare that with nazi germany, totally the wrong contex!

What's different?

It's the isolation and killing of a people on the basis of their religion.
