This is a complete switch of tangent. First we're talking about which philosophy came first, and then you start getting into the specifics of the philosophy itself. You're really getting desparate huh?


this started when you said civilization was based on a foundation of Judeo/Christianity.
I said you were wrong.

3 months ago? Way to sling the hyperbole.


I'm no wasting my time going back and rereading every nuance of every thread. I'll respond to what you're typing now, but I have these religious debates enough that it could've been anytime this thread got started.
Way to focus on the issues, junior.

No. They're not. Not all Klansmen are Christian and Christianity was never the root of its foundation.


show me the Jewish Klansman. Show me the non-Christians who use the cross as a symbol in this modern age.

Quote:


Again: The KKK was not founded based on Christianity, and, moreover, there is nothing within Christianity that would allude to such actions.


there's no slaves in the bible, no oppression in the bible?
and to my knowledge there was nothing about grand iquisitions in the biblical text, but the Spanish still did it.
The Virginians still did their Witch Trials.

Quote:

Klansmen aren't Klansmen because they're Christian. They're Klansmen because they hate black people. Muslim terrorists, however, do what they do in the Islam. That's a very clear foundation right there. And what's more, their also calls for such actions. Christian extremists do not truly represent their religion in their actions, whereas Muslims do.


you're such a bigot. Islam does not teach violence and terrorism (the CIA taught them that, but it's a whole other issue).
There's as much violence and bloodshed in the bible as the koran. With both religions the mainstream these days denounce violence.
So same as how you might be offended with the cross being used as a sign of death (which is it's original purpose technically) so might the majority of Muslims be appalled by terrorist acts.

Even though it is my personal belief that it does cover abortions, where did I actually say that it did? I said that the terrorists who kill abortion doctors are going against the very philosophy they claim to represent.


you said the ten commandments were straight forward and not really open to interpretation, I was making the argument that any religious text can be interpreted to the reader's views.

Bow ties are coool.
