What about 'em?

"Is that sort of behavior "Christian"?"

Well, you tell me....

Just because they say they are............


That's a problem, isn't it? So many of many religions claim to consist
of true believers and followers, but what they stand for is hate.

My feeling is that if you are part of the "Values Voters" conference
sponsored by the Family Research Council, you parted ways with
Christianity a long time ago. Those folks hide under the banner of their
religion to spread hate.

I don't see how it is possible to be a social conservative and a
follower of the teachings of Jesus.


Well Harry, why don't you tell us all about the teachings of Jesus..
Then tell us about "Jesus on a stick at *Christmas* again, and while
your are googling, go ahead and tell us why Tim *can't* answer your
questions. go ahead, I will wait.



People of intelligence can, with good manners, debate whether
churches/mosques/synagogues are doing good or doing evil. The Christian
bible has been used to do good and to do evil. There are individual
Christians/Moslems/Jews/whatevers who do good and there members of those
religions who do evil, and all of this is done in the name of
their religion.

If you are the sort of ultra conservative who attends Family Research
Council events such as the Values Voters conference and you sit and
listen to a bigoted preacher put down a reasonably decent guy because
his religion is different from yours and you don't protest, then you are
as bigoted as the speaker. I wouldn't vote for Mitt Romney, but I
wouldn't insult him in a public forum on the basis of his personal
religious beliefs. Romney doesn't make an issue of his religion; those
"politicized good Christians" do.

At a more personal level, *you* are the sort of hate-filled bigot who
helps give Christianity a black eye.

But the funny thing is that Christianity has been mocked for
around
2000 years, and it's still standing well. So... I look at it like
this. If people want to curse the good Christians, then that
really
doesn't make them any different than the Westboro's does it?

As a percentage of humanity, Christianity is on the rocks and
shrinking.

Oh no, and far from it.

I said as a percentage. Take China and Africa muslim and non
christian
growth over the last 100 years.

interesting that you should mention China. That's one country where
Christianity is flourishing and growing , not to mention S. Korea.

Smoking too much religious crack? China is only 3 or 4% Christian,
predominantly Buddhist and government is atheist without religious
preference. And in fact, no all seeing eye makes China more separation
between church and state than the USA.

we weren't talking about Buddhism, Islam etc. We were talking about
Christianity weren't we?

"Today, estimates of Christians range between 40 million and 100
million."

"During this period, house churches boomed in popularity. As the New
York Times correspondent Nicholas Kristof noted, initially popular
among the peasantry, Christianity's reach has extended towards the
cities and the wealthy and intellectual Chinese over the last decade.

The reasons for this boom are twofold. The first is that the Chinese
have found Christianity to be a stabilising belief system amid a
dramatically changing socioeconomic landscape, which had its previous
religious traditions crushed by Maoism and its values questioned after
Tiananmen Square. And, secondly, with its obvious western heritage,
the rise of Christianity may be linked to a subconscious attack on the
norms and values espoused by the PRC – rather like South Korea in the
1980s."

Granted, even 100 mil, is a small percentage considering there's well
over a billion people in China, but it's a long step of growth since
the 70's especially in a country run by a religion supervised
government

3 to 4% of 1.3 billion people is at most 52 million. And growth claims,
highly questionable.

Fastest growing religion in USA if you include atheists? Atheists. If
you exclude atheists, then it goes to Buddhism. Go figure.

Sort of follows black supremacy claims of being the first minority,
blacks are 3rd if you include Spanish decent.

Just a lot of bull**** to keep whining people happy. But then facts and
reality, no fleabaggers want to hear that. Some idiots feelings might be
hurt.

Chinese government is officially atheist. You need to read better
material. Check my stats on CIA Wold Fact Book, ship your voodoo
religious sermon sites.


You sure are turning out to be one condescending asshole... What
happened, some Christian guy steal your girl in High School or something?


Not at all. Just realize religion is about herd management and power
over the people, and not by god but by fellow man.


Kind of like your atheism...


With so many starving
people, what is so christian about the Vatican hoarding billions while
they hypocritically profess differently for the masses?


Kind of like Athiests...

Because of religion, so few have all the power, while the rest live as
slaves to serve it. Fact is, just another form of fascism. My god is
better than your god -- and no proof anyone ever met the being.


I have proof enough for me, I have seen his work..

Isn't to say I am anti-religion, I am not. The herd animal humans need
intellectual guidance through life or the whole world would become
Somalia like. Decay to the animal basics, dog eat dog.


Kind of like the direction we are heading now...
