"In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate"

At least you got the 'compassionate' part right... ;)

Just to bring some balance to the debate..

It's a Question of Love, Newsnight, not Fear! By Shaykh Riyad Nadwi PhD "...To Muslims I say in expressing your feelings on this matter, please do not play into the hands of those who have orchestrated this..."

Press release from The Muslim Council of Britain: 03 Feb 2006 - Don’t Be Provoked By Mischievous Elements Over Cartoon Row "..There may be elements that would want to exploit the genuine sense of anguish and hurt among British Muslims about the manner in which the Prophet has been vilified to pursue their own mischievous agenda. We would caution all British Muslims to not allow themselves to be provoked. They should respond peacefully and with dignity at all times,”

James 5:1-6 ;)

Warning to Rich Oppressors

1 Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming upon you. 2 Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. 3 Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. 4 Look! The wages you failed to pay the workmen who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. 5 You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter. 6 You have condemned and murdered innocent men, who were not opposing you.

If you were referring to me, a sheep amongst the wolves would be more appropriate... ;)

Woe to all who say good is evil and evil is good...

This sounds like a threat. Not very compassionate.

Speak for yourself, remember lying is a sin, right.
Ah, I can just feel God's love oozing out of his pores.

P.S. Any flame/lie from you Jerrery is a Badge of Hono(u)r.
I'll wear it proudly. Thank you.

I've noticed that all the atrocities done by religious fanatics have been directed at destroying people of religion...

I've also noticed that the non-religious are never attacked, yet they speak the loudest against religion...

Figure that 'puzzle' out...


BTW - It's all in the manual... ;)

As I recall half of the females in Europe were killed during the witch hunts, this includes even tiny little girls. As you suggest all of them practiced some form of religion, I find this hard to believe. Especially since the children in these matters had no say.

Just what makes you think that there is ever any justification, for any atrocity weather it is commited in the name of religion against religion or otherwise?

II Timothy 3 ;)

1 But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of stress. 2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 inhuman, implacable, slanderers, profligates, fierce, haters of good, 4 treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 holding the form of religion but denying the power of it. Avoid such people. 6 For among them are those who make their way into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and swayed by various impulses, 7 who will listen to anybody and can never arrive at a knowledge of the truth. 8 As Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men of corrupt mind and counterfeit faith; 9 but they will not get very far, for their folly will be plain to all, as was that of those two men.

Jeffrey, can I ask you to quit the Bible quoting? It's pretty annoying, and it gives some really bad flash-back's to a former troll here, who could recite endless Bible quotes in foot-long posts. I'm talking about really bad flash-backs here! :-(


If you want to say something in context with the Bible, why not just refer to the text, so we can look it up ourselves, if we bother. And please remember, not all of us have English as our native language, so your quotes, I won't understand easily. I'd have to look it up in my own Bible anyway...

Just a request to you. :-)

Wanna play 'let's make a deal'?

When the God haters start linking offensive images, I'll start linking offensive text...

My apologies to you Fuzzy, but it's only fair... ;)

Thanks. But I can't make any deals with you, as I can't decide if others post offensive images, I'm Danish you know. ;-)

But if you use Firefox, you can use Adblock to block the images, so you can't see them. Or you can report them to the mods as offensive, so they can remove the post in question. This is the solution I can suggest to you.

But quoting endlessly from the Bible only makes you look like a WordWeaver clone, plus it gives me assciations to people, who can't express any original thoughts thought by themselves but have to use quotings. So instead of answering a post with a quote from the Bible, as you did just before in this thread, you can tell, what the quote says and then why you use it in the context? This would make it more interesting and personal. I'd rather discuss with a human being than with a maschine, which spews text after text.

You could always start an ANTI-GOD thread or a GOD-HATERS thread and I'll stay away...

Just wondering...is that what you're hoping to do?...move them to start a God haters thread?...if you are hoping to reach people with the message of God...sometimes a whisper is louder than a scream...a gentle nudge is more forceful than a knockdown shove...there is a reason there are so many atheists these days...many have been driven away by the very ones who sought to bring them in...
