A Humble Proposal To The Christians.

If the new Christians truly want us to believe that their religion is one of love and acceptance then why do they still claim the Old Testament?

I don't know which friend of my son was over here when they used my laptop, but that last comment which was supposedly made by me definitely wasn't. No, I don't agree with your video, but the proper response would not be one of vile and hate. It would be one of sorrow, sorrow for the soul that made this and which is so hopelessly lost.

Science flies you to the moon, religion flies you into buildings.

You are a moron who believes that a space god floated down to a magical garden and used magical dirt to form the first Human, that Human was later tricked into eating a mysterious but irresistibly juicy apple by a talking snake, who was really a shape-shifting demon with horns and a tail from an invisible underground realm filled with the tortured souls of former mini-space gods.

Just, shut up, would you?

@HelpTheIgnorant How could China start the modern civilisation when they were miles from the eventual heart of the world. China did have greater technology but it was not China that went on to conquer the world. I am not childish and I will not behave as if killing people is good or bad it is about perspective. The ISlamic forces were the invaders of the Byzantine Empire they took the lands that we now associate with the muslim world. They launched a jihad and europe launched a crusade.

@TheMaskhadov Lastly, Europe only stopped hating each other in the last century or so. There were still border disputes going on after the Crusades (i.e The Hundred Years' War (France and England) and the Seven Years' War). Countries in Europe changed what they thought of others about twice a day. One day England and France liked each other, next thing you know, England and Spain are trying to take France over.

@TheMaskhadov If you mean to say the greater foe were the Muslims, then I can't wait to you realize how blind you really are. The Islamic Empire wasn't doing anything to Europe that would warrant such slaughter. In fact, during the Crusades, Europe attacked Constantinople. At the time, Constantinople was still Orthodox Christian. Sure, it's not the same thing as Catholism, but you can't deny the fact that Europe kind of attacked people more similar to them then Muslims for money.

@TheMaskhadov The Crusades were brilliant foreign policy? Killing thousands of people was a good idea to "unite" Europe? Because they were fighting against a bigger "foe"? Christianity was the founder of modern civilization? So many questions so little time. China was more advanced than Europe ever was for the first few thousand years first of all, if anyone started modern civilization, it was them. They had technology Europe didn't get for a thousand years.

@Arondeus I'll agree that religion/subjective morality should have no factor in legislature, and we'll leave it there.

"every detail in every religious book out there is up to one's interpretation"

Yes, and that is precisely why religion should be a completely private matter. Keep that nonsense out of my government institutions and policies. That is also why religion must be actively ridiculed and weeded out of Human culture. There will always be the danger of violent and bloody interpretations until we rid ourselves of those stone age myths once and for all.

[MazterChief1992]

Again, context. The Pharisees viewed themselves as perfect followers yet they changed the OT scripture that Jesus was quoting. It's not that the Pharisees didn't kill kids, it's that they were hollier-than-thou and hypocritical by nature. And yet, the deity still loves them for all their shortcomings. We can go on and on if you wish with different examples, but every detail in every religious book out there is up to one's interpretation.

@MazterChief1992

Unconditional love and salvation in the NT? Really?? Why, then, did Jesus condemn the Pharisees for NOT killing disobedient children in Matthew 15:4-7?
