Multiculturalism

But again you can offer no evidence to support your claims it seems. The Episcopal Church, the COE, The Lutheran, Methodist and Presbyterian churches all recognize Roman Catholicism as being Christian. Jews and Muslims recognize the Roman Catholic church as being Christian. The Dalai Lama recognizes the Roman Catholic church as being Christian. Jesus says that "His" church will be founded by Peter. Hell even you are recognized as being a Christian.

LOL Apostate?World Domination? That sounds far more like the Christian Dominionist nutjobs.The Roman Catholic church never dominated the world and there is absolutely no evidence they have any desire to do so.What I posted simply shows that both Cristian and no-Christian religions understand the the Roman Catholic church is one chapter of Club Christian even if you try to deny the truth yet again.

I'm sorry but could you possibly give us an example of a law or value that foreign cultures should adapt to but do not?

Faith, can you give us an example that is not just made up in your paranoia?Riots in Niger are not immigrants in the US.The only example so far of anyone denying freedom of religion and freedom of speech has been you or have you forgotten posting that it was right to deny Roman Catholics the right to hold office in the US and that you wished you could censor EvC off the internet?

There have been several methods of educating Christians. In the US one big and important method was through a Constitution that has so far prevented Christians imposing most of their laws on others.A second very successful path has been through science and education which showed conclusively that many events such as the Biblical Floods or Exodus or Conquest of Canaan simply never happened and that the Earth and Universe are billions of years old and that humans are simply another of the Primates and that evolution is a fact with the Theory of Evolution explaining what is seen.Of those two paths the former may be the more important but the later, when combined with ridicule, may have the longest lasting effects.

Yes, we know that you are totally out of touch with reality, but fortunately not all are willfully ignorant. In fact education has worked so well that it has been necessary for those like yourself to create avoidance schools to try to prevent children from exposure to reality. The problem is though that reality is everywhere out there and so as the children come to realize that their parents, teachers, pastors and even friends have just been lying to them they abandon Christianity.So education works.

But it is a great example of taming Christianity and Fundy Christian have and do blow folk up.As I said back in Message 1115 there have been two major paths. Education has lead the majority of Christians towards a far more progressive and secular approach to society or even abandoning Christianity in favor of a secular humanist path. That cuts down on the fundy crazies.But there is also the Constitution in the US which than God has limited the ability of Christians to impose their laws on the rest of society and has allowed active legal sanctioning of the mainly Christian hate groups like the KKK and American Nazi parties. It has also allowed prosecution of those who do bomb (and there have been many of those in my lifetime right here in the US).

Just how could Islam get hold of the US?Can you even think of a way?

But so far no one has shown how Islam can get hold of the US.Can anyone even think of a way?

Do you know anything about the US?Did you know that in the US there is a Constitutional Amendment that guarantees freedom from the other guy's religion?Where is there any evidence that Islam has taken over any European Nation (other than the lies told by Conservative fear mongers and Biblical Christians)?Where is the evidence that any Sharia Law has been imposed on any European (other than the lies told by Conservative fear mongers and Biblical Christians)?We are far safer from Sharia Law in the US than from the crazy Christian Laws. They are what we need fear.

Of get real Faith, Subjected to Muslim calls to prayer? You have got to be kidding me or are you as totally ignorant as the Billy Graham's ignorant kids. Are you saying we are not subjected to church bells and broadcast prayer commercials?You cannot be so ignorant to think Muslim calls to Prayer subject any sane person to anything. You sound as crazy as Graham does shooting off his foolish mouth about Duke University.

Hell yes, thank God.

I grew up in the only Christian family in a Jewish neighborhood. I guess I was in middle school before I found out that the lions didn't eat all the other Christians.A few blocks north of our row house was the "Deli".Now it was not like what passes throughout most of the country for a deli, this was a true Jewish Deli.There was the great oak barrel of pickles and you stuck your hand down in the brine squeezing them to pick out the biggest, firmest pickle you could find. On the counter was the aluminum tray of Coddies (cod fish cakes) and saltines and folk helped themselves and snacked on them while browsing the store. I always suspected they were delivered on Mondays and Wednesdays and on Tuesdays and Thursdays they simply turned the uneaten ones over.The rolls of fly paper hung from the ceiling as the big ceiling fans turned slowly giving the illusion of a breeze but mostly simply mixing the smells and the hot, humid air.At the far most rear corner of the Deli was an old wooden table littered with newspapers in Hebrew where older men gathered, some clean shaved, others bearded, all speaking at the same time in a mixture of English and Yiddish. Often in the mornings they would have a plate with a half eaten Bureka sitting in front of them and as their hands slapped the table the small white cups of coffee would dance in the saucers.The Deli roasted their own beans and you could tell when coffee was being roasted from a block away. The whole neighborhood took on the air of expectancy when the coffee was roasting and people walking on the street raised their heads and sniffed the air, their destination forgotten as their paths converged for that cup of just roasted coffee.As a kid, I was not allowed coffee, it would stunt my growth, but Mr. Blumberg would always give me a small glass filled with milk with just a touch of coffee added, and would tell me "don't let your parents see that" in a voice that everyone in the deli heard. But as a child, I knew it was "our secret" and I would take my glass to the back and sit at the end of the table trying to be as near invisible as a goy can be at a table filled with adults in a Talmudic Dispute.Eventually mom and dad would call me and everyone at the table would stop talking and look at me. As I'd gulp down the last of my "coffee" and run to catch up I'd always hear someone at the table say "Such a good boy."Little did they know.

You continue to spout those falsehoods but no matter how many times you are shown that they are simply not true you seem to hope that if you repeat lies often enough they will become truths.No US Christian has ever been forced to honor same sex marriages or been criminalized for not honoring a same-sex marriage.Abortion is not murder.Abortion was decriminalized with support from Christians, primarily Southern Baptists.

Murder is an unlawful killing.Please actually read that line and try to understand what the words mean.Murder is an unlawful killing.Abortion in almost all cases is not an unlawful killing and so it cannot be murder no matter how many times you assert that it is.
