Forum: Christian Ideology

I agree completely that the acts you listed were horrific acts in the name of Christianity. HOWEVER, you yourself admitted you have not read the Bible yourself, meanwhile you harp on people for saying things about things they haven't read.I think you'd better practice what you preach, junior. Since you haven't read the Bible I can assure you it didn't say 'Go kill those Jews, they're just trouble'. Did it say you could only be saved through Christ? Yeah, but it NEVER says 'purge the nonbelievers'.People did lots of terrible stuff in the name of Carl Marx's ideas about communism, except when you compare their acts to his ideals you'll notice the offenders twist the idea until the meaning is changed. That's the same thing with violent acts in the name of Christianity. Go ahead and blame the people who did that, but don't blame Christianity for the unorthodox and uncalled for violence done in the name of it.

Okay, so we agree that the doctrine/code of conduct etc. cannot be blamed for what people do in its misuse. That was my main point.As for me stepping in kind of harshly about your jeers, I guess I don't know Syamsu well enough to know if he deserved it or not. I just noted 'haven't read' part, but oh well. But if your accusations to him were true, then I've got nothing to argue with you about and your humor, if in fact used on someone who has brought it on himself, is by no means a reason to shut the thread down by my opinion.

Just one thing though: How is the clock on your post over 2 hours ahead of mine? I thought we all were set on US central time?Maybe it was from the future...
