"Christianity is not rooted in hatred. Those inspiring such... as the above quote shows... are quickly shunned Some people can actually look at the actions, beyond the words, and see the reality." Christians have been rooted in hatred, not only against non Christians, but also against other Christian sects. This still continues here in the UK, just look at Ulster. You are also using a different word, hatred as against evil. Fred Phelps and others like him are devout Christians but plainly evil. You are wrongly suggesting that those with Christian beliefs can not be evil at the same time.

It would seem more plausible to define a follower of Jesus to simply follow the 'new' commandments of "So whatever you wish that men would do to you, do so to them; for this is the law and the prophets." and "Love your neighbor as yourselves" So it doesn't matter what lable a person puts on themselves, Christian, Jew, Buddhist, Atheist, what matters is what fruit they bear. Throw all of religion away! It is no different today than when Jesus walked the earth. Religion today seems to be all talk and no action. Why all this arguement? Does it matter if you believe in a Diety and spread hatred and discord? Does it matter if you reject the idea of a Diety if you feed the hungry, clothe the naked, visit the sick? What would happen if any of us spent more time helping others?

I can call myself a republican... lol.... it would never be believed, but i couls scream it from the rooftops all day long... doesnt make it true based upon my beliefs. Based upon christian beliefs, this man is not a christian, no matter how deeply many wish him to be simply because it makes your case so much easier to prove. Anyone can call themselves an evolutionists, but, if they push the bible's theory of creationism, are they?

Hi eyes you have my point a bit backwards. not everyone who follows the ten commandments will consider.. or be.. a christian. however, according to the basic tenants of christianity, you cannot break those commandments. As to your questions... it doesnt matter... lol. i enjoy yanking these boys chains. [:D]

Ergo, Fred Phelps - whom I do not know anything about - by his actions as asserted in this thread, is not a Christian, but a Jew. Does he have a mutilated penis?

The problem here as I see it is tazzygirl lectures others on what is or is not Christian and then dodges previously by implying she is not Christian. Quote: "did I say I was christian? lol" as near as i can remember it. After lecturing others she goes on most recently to make the absurd statement that christians believe in following the ten commandments which, she says are pretty clear cut rules. Hardly clear cut as I demonstrated above. Perhaps some christians do try to follow the ten commandments. But tg ignores or is ignorant of the christian belief that the death, resurrection, and redemption offered by Jesus on the Cross is in fact a New Covenant not to be confused with the Covenant of the Jews. Paul argued strenuously as did the Gospel of John that one accept the resurrection to be a Christian and once in that state of grace good acts would follow. Paul had no illusion that it was not necessary to keep the Laws of Moses in order to be a Christian. He opposed James and Peter for such claims. Tazzygirl has the audacity to speak on behalf of christians, misrepresents their beliefs, and then pretends that any criticisms leveled at her can be dismissed as coming from uninformed "boys." Her pretence at authority on the subject is quite hypocritical. The nature of certitude in her statements displays a hubris that stifles the room in its expansiveness. vincent

There are several Christian groups (the Baptists, The Catholics and the Mormons immediately spring to mind) who are nearly as anti gay as Phelps. The Jews seem a bit more tolerant in most respects. And that's without even touching on the muslims who are poisonously homophobic and didn't even exist during the old testament.

Maybe you should try telling a Muslim that that: they'd probably do you over like they did those contractors in Fallujah. They're the only people on earth more antisemitic than the average neonazi.

From what I have read Paul was saying one did not have to adhere to the Law and first become a Jew before he could become a Christian, but he did advocate the moral teachings of the Law as a sign that one has received Grace. The following from the Wiki article here..... "Paul's theology of the gospel accelerated the separation of the messianic sect of Christians from Judaism, a development contrary to Paul's own intent.[6] He wrote that faith in Christ was alone decisive in salvation for Jews and Gentiles alike, making the schism between the followers of Christ and mainstream Jews inevitable and permanent.[6] He successfully argued that Gentile converts did not need to become Jews, get circumcised, follow Jewish dietary restrictions, or otherwise observe Jewish Law.[6] Nevertheless, in Romans he insisted on the positive value of the Law, as a moral guide." vincent

You may be mistaken on this point Rule. Here is a contradiction from Wiki. Please note that the reference to "sinful" behavior is as profoundly condemning as you can get in biblical terms. The denominations listed below are all quite Christian. "Christian denominations hold a variety of views on the issue of homosexual activity, ranging from outright condemnation to complete acceptance. In accordance with the traditional values of Abrahamic religions,[1] most Christian denominations welcome people attracted to the same sex, but teach that same sex relationships and homosexual sex are sinful.[2][3] These denominations include the Roman Catholic Church,[4] the Eastern Orthodox church,[5] the Methodist Church,[6][2][7][8] and many other mainline denominations, such as the Reformed Church in America[9] and the American Baptist Church,[10] as well as Conservative Evangelical organizations and churches, such as the Evangelical Alliance,[11] and fundamentalist groups and churches, such as the Southern Baptist Convention.[12][13][14] Pentecostal churches such as the Assemblies of God,[15] as well as Restorationist churches, like Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons, also take the position that gay sexual activity is immoral.[16][17]" I think the implication is that if one acts in a "sinful" manner one has fallen from Grace. I fail to understand your obsession with mutilated penises. Nor do I see how you can place homophobia solely upon Jews. vincent

It is the gene pool (and the culture) that is affected, since owners of vagina's are part of gene pool and culture, yes they inevitably are affected. Any change in phenotype - including behaviour - has evolutionary repercussions.

quote: ORIGINAL: kittinSol quote: ORIGINAL: Rule Them Muslims practise penis mutilation, do not they? Tell us, are owners of vaginas affected by this cuckoo theory of yours [X(] ? Vaginas are subject to different rule interpretations under the benevolent religion of Islam. FGM is a social custom, not a religious practice. However, in those Muslim countries where it is practice, FGM is often justified by a controversial saying attributed to the Prophet Mohammed that seem to favor sunna circumcision involving minor cutting of the clitoris. The authenticity of these sayings are unconfirmed, and some scholars have refuted them. Even if true, they only permit the practice; they do not mandate it. FGM has probably been performed for at least 1,400 years (some references estimate 2,000 years), and started during what Muslims call "al-gahiliyyah" (the era of ignorance). The Qu'r'an, Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament) and Christian Scriptures (New Testament) is silent on the subject. The Sunnah (the words and actions of the Prophet Mohammed) contains a reference to female circumcision. It's only a "suggestion"; like the killing of infidels. Similarly I guess the problem should be ignored and allowed to continue because, after all, it's not representative of Islam, only a radical few practitioners and the woman who happen to be at the wrong end of the circumcision knife.
