When I was younger I would look down on Toddy because he's gay. Now, I just look down on Toddy because he's a crybaby, frantic socialist/commie bastard that is still fighting a war that was won by people much braver than he.

Poster posts a thoughtful rebuttal and you reply with this?

Not only are you disingenuous with your asinine topic, but you're a coward and childlike. You had no intention of having debate. You simply thought you had a "gotcha", then scurried away. Typical.

You are in no way looking for a debate. You are pointing out an isolated incident and attempting to use it to "prove" that Christianity is no different that Islam.

As neither a Christian or Muslim I'd like to point out the difference between the terms " freakish misguided and savage anomaly that is immediately condemned by Every single person in the society" to " regular occurrence across dozens of countries that has the enthusiastic support of many in the broader culture including the local religious leaders " and see if you can tell which applies to which religion.

The point I've made several times on this board that has gotten me labeled a liberal despite my generally conservative positions is that generalizing people is stupid, particularly when you lack experience with those people. Now that doesn't mean you can't exercise caution when it comes to matters of national security and border control, but anybody worth a shite knows to judge individuals based on their merits.

Let's hear it, Christian apologists; how can you not denounce Christianity for the acts of an individual, yet do it for Islam?
You will have to debate yourself - there is no debate because there is literally nobody who will take up the straw man you posit.
Do you know of anyone defending this action? If so - go find them and debate them.
pfft

Try this in rural Pakistan, Iraq, Syria, etc.
Try to judge the individuals.
ETA: In other words, would you rather wander around rural "Christian America" or rural Islamic country with terrorist organizations abound.

1) How is murdering your own daughter for religious reasons any different than a Muslim who murders people for the same?
But this is an outlier of an "honor killing" story. This is a rarity among non-muslim faiths, and you know it.
quote:How common are stories like this?
2) In light of this story, and any other incidents where a Christian commits a crime because of his religion, is it fair to discount an entire religion because of this?
You dredge the ocean to come up with one story like this, and draw an equivalency?
Because one dude shot up planned parenthood a while back, does that make Evangelicals as bad as ISIS?
Get the frick out of here, son. . .grown ups are talking.

So what your saying is write off anybody from those countries as an a-hole before you even meet them. Ok. Got it.

Quite the leap to get to that conclusion from what I wrote. Par for the course for you.

Great post in its entirety, but the below quote is a slant I have not given a lot of thought to.
quote:
It's the government of these Muslim countries that are the problem. They allow extreme views that are outdated to exist and it gives the extremist liberties to grow. I fully believe that if a country governed through a Christian philosophy violent fringe groups would grow there eventually. It's the nature of humanity.
Well done indeed.

Crap like this is what is waking America up to the fact that marxist/socialist liberalism is a mental disorder they want to distance themselves from. Congratulations.

You're the one taking a non-controversial position and trying to turn it on its head.

Actually I did. You want to judge each individual. I am fine with that. But would you rather do that in one the of the Islamic countries I mentioned or here?
Finding out who they are inside there may lead them to finding out your insides there.
It's not a simple judge every one of them as individuals. There's many of them that would take your life for doing so. It's also true that many of them would feed you and take care of you.
I'd rather be lost in a non-Islamic country. Seems less dangerous. Agree or disagree?
