Really? Where have I apologised for religion?

If you were to say you were religious and that killing gays was good; it doesn't mean you are religious. it just means you are using religion to justify your own dreams and ambitions.

My old Aunty had a saying " There are likely better Christians outside the Church than those sitting in the front row".

Sorry, but it's forum rules.

If you don't condemn all followers of a particular religion, for the sins of a few, you're labelled an apologist.

I don't make the rules.

Angry NZ pastor moves to Australia

A KIWI preacher who says gay people should be shot in the head and women belong in the kitchen has set up a church in Australia.

A New Zealand preacher who said gay people should be shot in the head and that Kiwi PM Jacinda Ardern belonged in the kitchen has packed up shop — and moved to Australia.
Pastor Logan Robertson has announced via Facebook that he and his family had moved to Brisbane and had “planted” a new church in the city.

Are you suggesting that it's up to others to decide if the parents are religious?

It could be. That doesn't mean it has to be thought so by other members of the community. They might take a totally different view.

So, for example, if a terrorist says he's killing people because of his religion, we don't have to believe that?

We could take a different view and say, for example, that the terrorist is nothing more than a murdering coward, using religion as a convenient excuse - yeah?

Yes you do.

And the sinning few number in their millions.

But you're too thick being a bleeding heart to see it.
