Rubbish. Attacks on Christians by Hindus and Muslims are far more prevalent in india.

rarely to the point of murder actually, and there is no institutionalised persecution as there is in Islam against gays.

There are plenty of Christians behaving badly.

Why are you defending them Ian ?

I am bemoaning the costs that Islam Christianity inflicts on the world from it's misogyny, it's bigotry, it's homophobia, it's racism, it's exploitation of minors, it's advocation of hatred and misery for billions of people throughout it's history, amongst other things. 



Me too. And millions of others.


Naughty! Naughty!  Changing my words does not become you.   Such a silly naive debating tactic.   Roll Eyes Roll Eyes



Islam's impact on the world today is far, far worse than any other religion or ideology, with the possible exception of of neo-Marxist progressivism which you represent.


Me, a "neo-Marxist"?  My god, you are so far out in right field you cannot even perceive the centre if you believe that comment.   Roll Eyes

As for the cost of Islam today versus the cost of Christianity, that is easy to say now that Christianity is no longer as militant as it once was.  If we look back through history billions have died because of Christianity and it's crazy evangelistic views on exporting it's religious beliefs to the rest of the world from Europe.  Roll Eyes

Quote:
Muslims are on the  top of the designated victim group list for the likes of you but you ignore the very pertinent fact that they want to kill and subjugate EVERYONE ELSE on your list: gays, women, other ethic and religious groups.


And other, more peaceful, moderate everyday Muslims who are their greatest number of victims.  You like all bigots mistake the extremists for the mainstream.    Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

Quote:
For you to respond to every Islamic atrocity with a stupid and untrue statement about Christianity is a lame and laughable attempt of avoiding facing facts.


I have avoided no "facts".  What I don't agree with is your characterisation of the extremists as being the mainstream for Muslims.   What I particularly don't agree with is your obvious hatred and bigotry towards mainstream Muslims simply because you dislike anybody who doesn't march to your drum beat.   You, are a bigot and a fascist.     Roll Eyes



Explain how 'mainstream' and 'extremist' Muslims interpret the Koran and hadith
differently
.

They don't.

They can't.

It's toxic, murderous bloody mayhem.  There is no 'moderate' Islam, only backsliding Islam.


Spoken like a true bigot.  Well done, you've just won the argument for me with your closed-minded. Islamophobic bullshit.   Roll Eyes

That is irrelevant, as you are well aware, Ian.  It is not the number or the ferocity of that attacks which matter, it is that attacks occur.

Again, the persecution occurs, Ian, does it not?   It is not the number nor the ferocity nor the underlying systemisation of the attacks but that attacks occur at all.   Roll Eyes

Not "encouraged"?  Is it or was it discouraged?  What did the Church leaders do to stop it?   They moved the perpetrators on to other parishes, other dioceses.  They gave tacit approval to their attacks and ignored the complaints when they were presented to them by the plaintiffs.    Roll Eyes

Why the excuses?  Why the ignoring of the truth about Christianity and it's corrosive, ill effects and cancer upon our society?   Mmmm?    Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

So what of the numbers that don't commit atrocities?

Do they count?

Why should all of the many millions of people that interpret Islam peacefully be constantly degraded to the status of those who don't?

Right, so its not the bombing, head chopping and stoning which matters. You started the comparison Brian, now you dont want to use it because it doesnt favour your argument.

Hi Ian - what about burning mosques? Does that matter? Would you mind clarifying when you advocated giving the mosque a "warm" welcome (your inverted commas), were you referring to burning it down? If it was a simple misinterpretation on my part, no worries, just correct the record for us, thanks.

No, I was always comparing the moral issue, not a numerical one.   You're erecting a strawman argument 'cause you know I am right.  Morally, the Christian Church is reprehensible.   Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

You're fallaciously avoiding the issue Brian, you know as well as I do that the teachings of Christ unequivocally state that workers of iniquity will not be accepted Mathew 7:21 Mathew 7:22 Mathew 7:23 Mathew 15:9 Mark 7:7 are classic examples.

Quote:
Do you deny these events are occurring, Moses?   That they are being perpetuated by those who profess that they are "Christians"?


They profess Christianity?
When are you going to stop your falsification?
The doctrine taught by Christ defines what a Christian is, just as the doctrine taught by muhammad defines what a muslim is.
The above chapters / verses are very good examples which univocally teach that commandments of men and deeds of iniquity are disdained.
Why do you keep lying by stating the exact opposite of what was taught by Christ?
Oh that's right you are desperate to equate Christianity with islam.

Quote:
Will you scurry away and hide your face from the reality of what Christianity has become?   A religion of hatred and persecution and molestation?


Obviously Christianity should reflect the views and teachings of Christ, if there are people doing the exact opposite (and there are) then it is equally as obvious that these people are not Christians as defined by Christ.

So the question you always run away from is: are people who claim Christianity, but defy the teachings of Jesus really Christians?

The clear answer is, no they are not Christians.

Yet you continually try to ascribe Christianity to workers of wickedness.

Why do you lie all the time Brian?

Are you in such a weak position with your submission to islam that you have to rely on dishonesty?
