I mean, his little "rug" comment was exactly that.

At least there wouldn't be a double standard then....

Maybe you've been living under a rock, but people are getting fed up with double standards progressives peddle.

Kids in cages are only a thing when our opposition is in power, would be another example.

Both are worthy of ridicule in my opinion.

I understand making fun of mega-church evangelicals. They're cringe and their churches are bad. They need to be bullied.

Otherwise, people make fun of christians out of jealously.

I think it's out of disdain. Lots of ivory tower types look down on Christians. "They hate homosexuals!" They scream.

But Muslims are a protected class...

TD posters mock the religion of peace every day.

your thread is yet another precious virtue signalling post to your fellow true believers.

people mock all religions.
you just notice it more when yours is the target.

fwiw yours is the target for many reasons, good and not so good.
we begin with the entire religion being tied to the notion that Jesus was born of a virgin.
oh sure.
and once 8 yr old you bought that one they slipped the ring onto your nose. didnt even hurt. 8 yr old you bought it.

the whole story *** is only fit for kids and insurance salesmen who have to pretend to believe the dominant paradigm.

*** the torture and death of a great person pays for 100% of your mistakes in life.
out of jail. all you do is believe the story.

sure.

Explain to me how I'm playing dumb. You're reading into my views on this subject. That's a you problem, not a me problem.

I'm a practicing Christian (attend church on a regular basis, wear a cross necklace, etc) and even I find the Christians that are getting criticized annoying. Just do the Lord's work, worship, etc without publicizing. The Lord does not need you to post on social media every time you say a prayer.

Yet, they never do the same to Muslims who pray five times a day on a rug?



A newspaper in Paris tried to bring attention to this a few years ago and it did not turn out well.

The story is about sinful creatures being separated from a holy and righteous God by their sin and needing someone to come in and make things right so they are no longer separated from God.

Your materialistic worldview prevents you from accepting the miraculous because you reject that which you cannot observe (inconsistently, I might add).

Your sin separates you from God and you need the reconciliation on Jesus provides. Repent of your rebellion against the lord of hosts and put your trust in Christ's sacrifice on the cross and you will be forgiven and made a son of God and heir through adoption.

Because Christians bend over/turn the other cheek.

Muslims? Hell naw. Folks get killed behind that kind of shite.
