The Problem with Christians

[Esquilax]

The Bible correctly predicts the rise of an end-times antichrist system. Why would a ragtag bunch of Jews 2000 years ago have the audacity to predict that the entire world would end up engulfed in a battle between what they believed as Christians and the forces denying their beliefs. It's an outrageously unlikely prediction and yet here we are watching it unfold. Fundamental Islam is slaughtering people all over the world for simply refusing to submit to its totalitarian demands. How is my observation of the actions of Islam bigotry or ignorance?

If you despise the Christian faith, how on earth could you not feel the same way about Islam?

Hey dude? I'll give you a big ol' hint: the Islamic religion does not "deny" christian beliefs. Allah is the Abrahamic god, it's just a different interpretation than yours, with one extra prophet. Hell, Jesus is still an important, accepted Messianic figure in Islam, it's just that their story has a canonical third part, where yours stops at the New Testament. In no sense are christian beliefs denied by islam, and more than they're denied by freaking protestantism.

Also, your description of this war is rather... limited, I believe intentionally so. You really think you've got just christians on one side, and islam on the other? These would be the same islamic terrorists who have also been attacking old temples dedicated to Baal, and even to destroying the culture of other islamic sects? Are you just not aware of the damage ISIS is wreaking on other religions? And wouldn't you have to conclude, taking into account the actual scope of the attacks here, and not simply those ones that impact you, that this is, in fact, not a battle between christianity and fundamentalist islam, but between fundamentalist islam and every other religion?

So, okay, the prophecy has come to pass, just so long as you ignore the fact that the two largest claims within it are manifestly untrue. But hey, it wouldn't be the first time a christian has ignored facts to stretch and retrofit their "prophecies" after the fact...
