I haven't noticed any jokes about mass murdering christians. Sentiments of that kind usually result in general contempt for the author of the remark. What is it that we say that is not all that different from threats of mass murder?
Would you condone the mass killing of known and active Isis members in your community if that decision was left up to you?
Now what is the difference? Society identifies them as a threat, how long before society identifies certain ideals a 'threat'. One on the level as an active military combatant? All societies have done this in the past including here in America with the Indians. It all depends on what the society you live in says you must do to maintain your particular way of life.
You haven't turned on Christianity because the majority says (for now) is not ok.
To answer the speculation of my fellow brothers and sisters I was not jokeing, well maybe hunting the members of this site down specifically, but I am willing to follow God any where he leads. Why? Because I worship him and not an ideology or particular sect of religion.
That said, know God has not changed and calls us to love and forgive rather than rape and kill.
On the other side of the coin, societies change all the time. People are killed and victimized by what pop culture says and thinks about them all the time. Sometimes wild swings about a given people can happen in a given life time. Look at the U.S.'s Relationship with Israel. We went from spear heading their restoration and preservation/salvation from genocide, to providing its primary enemy's with the means to wipe every Jew in Israel off the planet.
What do we get? Cheap oil, which will result of n more higher fuel taxes.
Just to clarify, as I am not sure I understand correctly. Are you saying that you were completely serious about raping and killing the atheist members of this board?
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
