Quote:Any religion that divides the universe into the god they serve vs. the devil rather narrows down which faction any outsiders are with, doesn't it?and any post that starts this way can be dismissed as sophomoric and I'll informed.
The devil is a reluctant servant, and does not weird the power you think he does.
Quote:Does Christianity believe in Hell?yes. But here again in biblical christianity hell is not a motivating as it is out side of salvation.
Quote:Any religion that believes in a faith-based scheme of salvation from an eternity of torment will inspire acts of torture, murder and terror in its name for what can be more important than saving more souls for all eternity?How is it that you can not see that any religion who's primary rule allows for an open and rule free environment does not inspire hate and terrorism?
How can anyone who fancies himself a 'thinker' has not been able to think his way through to the idea that an open and free religion like this one would maybe attract the wicked and power hungry?
Quote:Remember, as a non-believer openly criticizing your religion, I'm a greater threat to your children than the most vile of predators. After all, the things I say may plant doubts in your children's minds, thus leading them to Hell and eternal torment, a far worse fate for your children than even being abducted and murdered.
You and your peers best arguements have all been neutered long ago. Rest assured my children as well as any children I teach have little to fear from you.
Quote:What's a little torture and murder if you're saving more souls by silencing the heathens? And if you murder an unrepentant heathen, are you not just sending them to their final destination a little ahead of schedule?
This is why Islamo-Christianity is especially dangerous among the world religions.
Again the evil of this world is needed to shape us into who we need to be as servants of Christ. By elimating evil we then become the evil we need eliminate. That is why we are told to take the plank out of our own eye before we worry about our brother's eye.
Do you see how easy it is to neuter a call to violence with a simple verse? Now it's your turn find some christian text to support the destruction of the heathen.. If you can't the know your call to arms is not a christian call.[/quote]
