Believers don't believe

[Psalm 23]

Ooh Psalm, cherry picking from the bible here is a very bad mistake. You know full well that the bible has many atrocities in its chapters, ranging from rape to infanticide to genocide. You cannot claim the Qu'ran to be a bad book and not say the same of the bible. I can just as easily cherry pick good and nice passages out of the Qu'ran.

The O/P claims those who commit bloodshed in the name of their god are true theists. Are you suggesting the writers of the bible were true dedicated Warriors for God?

I agree, The Old Testament is a book that is filled with violence, but that's the society they lived in. It was accepted by them, so why are you so concerned about it? The world no longer lives by the O.T Law. You better thank your lucky stars on that one. Do you know it would be acceptable for a group of Christians to drag you out of your house and hang you in your front yard for slandering Jehovah?

It was acceptable 3,500 years ago to stone someone to death for worshipping pagan idols. But do you see modern Christians killing in the name of Jesus Christ? If you do, it's far and few. Example; Eric Rudolph bombed an abortion clinic, but his religion (Christianity) doesn't teach; "Kill those who agree with abortion." Just because delusional and insane people are making horrible judgements, doesn't mean their religion is teaching them to commit these horrible acts on humanity. If that was the case. Christians would be bombing abortion clinics on a daily basis.

Adolf Hitler said, 'I am doing God's work by slaughtering the Jews!" Where does the bible say "God wants all of his believers to slaughter his own people?" Hitler is another great example of an insane person claiming his religion is Christianity, but then he goes and does something that Jesus Christ was totally against!!

Let me ask you, was Hitler loving his enemies, and praying for those who cursed him? Answer, No! He will killing those who cursed him. Hardly a Christ-Like figure.

Eyewitnesses from the Halocaust heard Hitler's Soliders asking the Jews, "Where is your God now?" as they led them to the execution chamber. Gee, who was Hitler really working for?

Hitler said, "I'm doing God's work." Which God? Satan? Destroying the Jews was not in God's eternal plan-book. But I believe it's Satan's desire to exterminate the Jews.
