"Vigilantes of Christendom", a "priest in a war against anti-god people" - and of course the litany of christian terror groups that follows, all with their own rap sheets and verifiable histories.

The evidence shows me that unhinged motherfuckers see what they want to see in the bible. You, him, others. hrugs:

How are you not a Poe or troll? Or rather how did a Poe/troll become a mod?
I did read the artical up till this point:
"While the impetus for McQuilliams’ onslaught remains unclear, local authorities recently announced that he may have been motivated by religion "
Which is where Any Intellectually honest person would stop. Why? Idk, maybe because according to the cops investigating, their was no impetus/motive, only speculation, which this troll/Poe artical spun into a witch hunt for douche bags like you and the op. That is why I've asked you repeatedly what christian command motivated these actions... Seeings how you just now quoted the article, it is far more likly you just read it... And rather poorly I might add.

I presented that example to demonstrate a situation where a person with political influence, supposedly working for his constituents, used an ancient, vile verse in its literal sense to imply homosexuals should be put to death.
In that time under that law they were be put to death, but again a true literalist knows we are not in that time under that law.

I am fully aware of your hate filled middle eastern fantasy novel's contents. And quite frankly Roger Zelazny does it better.
Is there a specific one I'm missing? I own NIV, KJV and NCV.
That's fine Spanky, just pick one and provide me with some book chapter and verse that allows or rather commands Christians to commit acts of terrorism.
Otherwise know your posturing is meaningless.
This is actually an interesting point: it's curious that the only Poes we ever nab are imitating theists. Have we ever actually had a theist Poe'ing atheist-like?
Nevermind. It's hard enough to get us to agree on anything other than our lack of belief in deities, let alone pin us down to being fundamentalists of any kind.

To me Rythm sounded very mormon-ishy in his 'anyone who claims to be a christian is a chriatian' simply by proclaimation and not conformity to the religious structure that is Christianity.

Exactly which of the 41,000 denominations' structures are you referring to?

Wouldn't it be great if I were a Morman? If someone professes faith in christ it's a done deal - unless I want to start claiming that people are liars when they profess their faiths.
For example - You Drich, are clearly not a christian. You're lying. You don't really believe the things that you say you believe. If you went to Mass and made your confessions, maybe you'd be a christian - but since you don't conform to the religious structure of christianity no amount of claiming to be a christian will actually make you one.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

The bible/James tells us that "Faith with out works is dead." So how can someone profess faith if their works do not support it? If their works do not support their faith then what they profess is not faith.

Where in the bible does it say that we must goto mass?

All Jesus Christ/Bible centered ones.
You realize they all have different structures, right? Also, aren't you non-denominational?

They are a hate group the only reason they can't get labeled it officially is they have lawyers and money on their side. Also freedom of speech really protects them and the stupid things they say. Also the constitution there is nothing to be done but let them be stupid because they are prime candidates for natural deselection.
