And the problem this gives you is that if you do want to disavow the barbarism of the Old Testament, you undermine the Bible's only claim to authority, being that it is the word of God, and you undermine the notion that Christianity and the Bible are the source of Morality. So I would ask you: Do you believe that the Bible is the word of God? Is the Bible an accurate portrayal of God's character?
I would agree that there needs to be a lot more public condemnation for Islamic terrorist activities by Muslims. Islam would be easier to deal with if there was a centralized authority. I don't think that all 1.6 Billion Muslims are likely to be in favour of the murder of homosexuals, but I would be surprised if there were not many millions who are.
This is the problem with all religions, not even Buddhism or Hindus entire history has been completely violence free or sexism free.
I really get down on theists that others making bad claims mean we should do the same type of WW2 Germany scapegoating of entire labels. Nobody is in favor of Islamic based theocratic law. But we are also not in favor of our Christian right in the west trying to turn back the clock on human rights.
It is only western secular law that keeps the divisions to a more civil degree, not the religions themselves. There is not one religion worldwide as an umbrella label that does not have competing sub sects. The underpinnings of Christianity's former barbaric past are still based on the words in the bible.
So again, back to the OP
What does your hate for christianity have to do with giving the news media and or the government for squelching this story about the Islamic call to arms to murder gay people in the orlando area 3 weeks before the shooting occoured?
why hasn't anyone made this story public?
Are we so afraid is islam that we fear further reprisal from the 'radicalized community?' After all this will whip up the bigots into a frenzy which will trigger threats and maybe a burned koran or two.. But so what? Unless we fear this is going to 'activate' more home grown terrorists...
Which beggs the question...
How does your hate for people who oppose you lawfully have to do with looking at those who want you and people like us dead critically? Why are you shifting the blame of the ACTS of Islam to Christianity? Do you fear Islam? why then can you not condemn these acts of terror and place disgust and outrage where is should belong?
