Another Christian Terrorist

You guys just don't get it. :doh: I WASN'T COMPARING CHRISTIANITY AND ISLAM!!!!!!!! I WAS USING A BAD ANECDOTAL NEWS STORY TO SHOW ESPEIR THAT USING A SINGLE ANECDOTE TO MAKE SWEEPING GENERALIZATIONS CAN BE VERY, VERY WRONG!!!! Dear gawd! Read what I write and don't let your paranoia cloud my words. If I've learned anything from this thread it is that severe knee-jerk reactions among the christian right-wing crowd are alive and well. Hell, it wasn't that long ago I was called "right-wing nut-job" almost daily here in the SB. Now I'm considered liberal, a leftist and a terrorist apologist simply because I'm not Christian and/or you folks are paranoid. Geeesh!

Why do you doubt? If a Muslim had built a pipe bomb to blow up an abortion clinic in Greenbelt, Maryland (near where I used to live, as a matter of fact) and had stolen a gun to shoot doctors with, I certainly would have posted something about it.

I don't believe I read the word "Christian" ANYWHERE in that article. I did see it down below in some sort of news highlights. "An area family thought they lost their four-year-old son Justin in a crash last week. Monday they learned that Justin is still alive and they actually lost thier seven-year-old son Christian." I don't know if he went to church or anything from this text. I know you are trying to make a point Ed, but you failed. Rather miserably in fact.

Perhaps he was an atheist like me. Of course, I don't believe in bombing clinics and shooting doctors. I am pro-life.

You're to concerned with undermining Christianity to recognize that fact.
My wife is Christian. My kids are Christian. Most of my friends and extended family are Christians. Yep, undermining their belief system is my main goal in life. :rolleyes: "The trouble with jogging is that the ice falls out of your glass." - Martin Mull

Does it actually say his friends are Christian? I may have missed that in the article.
Have you ever met a fundamentalist Christian? They won't associate with you unless you're willing to convert!

Pretty bigoted behavior, wouldn't you say? Can't be contaminated with those who might think differently. The evolution of the human genome is too important to be left to chance.

Good thing his Christian friends turned him in, thereby demonstrating that Christians are anti-terror and capable of self-regulating their crazies. Now if only those terror-stopping Christians could teach the Muslim world to behave with civility.
And what the hell do you know about Muslims? Are you suggesting that Muslims never turn in terrorists to the authorities? You are so biased and your opinions so rigid I really don't know why I bother. You are the Soapbox's poster boy for everything that's bad about the US. Steve

Will everyone except espeir please ignore this: Fuck off you brainless twit! I'm sick to death of your ignorant stereotyping and blatant trolling. You've almost single handedly turned the CP soapbox into a waste of my time. Go away dipshit! "The trouble with jogging is that the ice falls out of your glass." - Martin Mull
Amen. Espeir is the biggest idiot I've never met. Steve
-
On this one I agree with espeir. You seem to be going out of you way to bash Christians, maybe you don't realize it???? My mom told me once that "while we all don't speak the same language, everyone in the world undestands an asskicking"
Good; it will act as a balance for all the Muslim bashing. Steve

Espeir made the comparison with a single news story as his "proof" of Christian superiority. I merely pointed out another single recent piece of news that on the surface (and my "on the surface" comment is important here so remember it) showed that maybe... just maybe... every Muslim on the planet isn't a heartless murdering fiend.
Let's see...we have one news story in the past decade where some Christian nut threatens to blow up a pipe bomb in an abortion clinic...Then his Christian friends turn him in. You don't find that evidencary of my claim? Meanwhile millions of Muslims wage war on millions of innocent civilian non-Muslims and you try to equate the two.

Clearly there are probably one or two dozen.
So when a Christian does something he's a "nut" but if a Muslim does he's a terrorist? Steve

I saw a bumper sticker the other day. It read, "Dear God, Please protect me from your followers." As one of the "followers" I had to hang my head in shame. I really regret a lot of things that get done in the name of Christianity. But hey, what do I expect. We had a perfect leader and we nailed him to a tree. I think both Espeir and you have made your points and are now beating a very dead horse. There are contexts in which each of you are exactly right and there are other contexts where both of you are glaringly wrong. You both already understand those reasons. Why are you still kicking the heck out of each other. In many ways you share the same view you just word it differently. I think this is why I don't come down here very much. The fact that "Anything Goes" means it almost always does and when it does go rationallity seems to follow. This comment is not directed at anyone just soapbox posts in general. I'm ashamed of many of the acts that Christians have done in the world. What shames me most is that in making that statement I have no choice but to include myself. Take it easy guys and have a good night. - Rex

Hehe, you have opened an endless supply of shit, and it will be pouring over you. You will be branded as "muslim lover", and terrorist sympathiser. That is not to say that I don't agree with you. I just wanted to let you know what to expect. ;)

But, you were drwing parallels. Espair's post is absolute proof of the very important and general differneces between he two religions. You immediately jump in and say "Oh no, Islam is the same because one of them turned Zarquari in". Thats drawing a parallel. The two religions are very, very different in how they respond to extremist in their own midst, and if you would stop being so knee-jerk anti-Chrisitan you would appreciate that.

I know you are conservative, but you also are part of the "blame christianity first" crowd. It gets tiresome. "You get that which you tolerate" -- modified at 7:10 Saturday 10th June, 2006
