@TherealMrChristophel Ask yourself, Do they hate homosexuality, because God, supposedly, hates it, or because they themselves find it repulsive? It's akin to the Euthyphro Dilemma, is something morally wrong upon its own merits, and God or the Gods are merely pointing that out as an example of something that's morally wrong, or is it morally wrong BECAUSE God or the Gods say it is? Basically, would the WBC have a problem with homosexuality even if God was perfectly fine with it? I think Yes.
@ForYeGo Because, despite its faults, religion does encourage great acts of kindness, beauty and generally, I believe we as a species are richer for it. Hatred is not caused by religion, it's caused by small mindedness. It is entirely possible for religions to co-exist peacefully. I mean ask yourself, Why is it that many Bible-Bashers like the WBC are also generally increadibly stupid? It's because they are small minded and using the religion asa rationalisation for their hatred.
@TherealMrChristophel@TherealMrChristophel You call that stupid, so you obviously have a very good reason, for saying that, so please tell us all, that reason, as you have obviously thoiught very deeply about religion, and it's great benefit to our world. Once you have told us, I'll give you my logical reasons, for saying what I did.
@TherealMrChristophel Secondly, to repair the damage done to relations. Try to stop young men turing to extremeism as they feel it's the only way to make their veiw heard and stop the leaders perverting religion to push their political agenda.
@ForYeGo Terrorists do not know themselves to be true Muslims, they believe themselves to be true Muslims, there's a big difference. As I have stated many times before the problem here is not Islam, no more than the problem that results in groups like the KKK is Christianity, it's hatred, on both sides. What needs to happen is that people, Jews, Christians, Muslims and atheists need to work together, firstly to create a real and lasting peace between Israel and Palestine.
@TherealMrChristophel The terrorists, know they are the true muslims, so this will never end. That is what brainwashing does, and without islam, most terrorists, would not exist. Catch 22 comes to mind. What would you think of, as the best solution ?
@ForYeGo well no, during the height of the KKK in the 20s there was over 4 million members. when you consider that AT PRESENT the population of Mongolia is 3 million that is simply mind blowing. The KKK didn't fight in the South, as there was no opposition, everybody was either on their side, too frightened to do anything or in the pocket. They RULED with an iron fist of terror. Also Muslims don't kill people, terrorists do. All Muslims aren't terrorists and no terrorists are true Muslims.
@TherealMrChristophel The KKK are bad, but would have to go a very,very long way, to even scract the surface, of the killings done by muslims, and the KKK dont blow their own people up, so that's one thing in their favour. The KKK are still bad though, before someone tries to say they are good.
