My issue is, you both (and now Carbola) are making stupid arguments by bringing up WBC.

If you read my posts on this board, i've been attacked for not falling for the anti-mulsim propaganda, and even the war on terror. I think it's all bullshite, and I'll go so far as to say I wouldn't be remotely surprised if the beheading videos were all fake and the ransom debacle was a botched inside job. There's just too much shadiness, war propaganda and odd timing with all of this for there not to be some mischief going on in the WH, Pentagon, Congress, etc.

But here are just three major problems with citing WBC:

1) Read their history. It's not some bastardization of Christianity, or radical offshoot, or malignant variant. Just read about them please.

2) I see you do understand order of magnitude, megatude, teratude, and yet still either don't see the total insignificance of WBC, from a numbers standpoint, or pretend not to. And consider the support ISIL has garnered, even in Europe--I defy you to find a single Christian who supports WBC, outside of the 40 members. LINK. Also, no one really knows how big ISIL/ISIS/TIS is/are, and even though i think the attention we're giving them is BS, I do believe they are growing. WBC will be the same inbred family it's always been.

3) Has WBC ever resorted to violence of any sort? Not only have they not resorted to violence, their whole scheme is based on pissing people off so bad with their words and signs that people smack them and get sued.

You may as well be comparing ISIL to the New Orleans Saints as to WBC, except the Saints have 13 more people on their active roster than WBC and admittedly aren't nearly as imposing as WBC this season.

My attitude has changed, I'm not arguing this any more.
