Were it not for the ACLU, the idiot Falwell would not be in a position to make such stupid and absurd statements.
​
Thank GOD Jesus was not a Christian.

Televangelist = Conman?

False preachers will be punished. Equating them with all preachers is a sin on your part.
​
ramoss was pretty clear when he went on to mention Falwell, the Moral Majority and televangelists. When you look at that group what you do find is near 100% liars, conmen, crooks and snakeoil salesmen. The folk like Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, Ron Wyatt, Gene Scott and pretty much every televangelist are at best simply balsphemers and conmen, at worst direct agents of Satan.

to which Faith replied
Tell that to Jesus who commanded it.
​
The way you spread the Gospel is by living it. The minute the Bibles come out, morality seems to go out the window.

North America?
Actually Buz, the simple fact is that the coming of christianity to american resulted in the most wide spread slaughter and death ever witnessed in north american.
​
Let's not forget the effects of the arrival of Christianity on the populations of South America, the Caribean, Polynesia, India and Africa.

Re: Right on, Whisper
It's a bad joke and could only be the actions of a pitiful, impotent godling that is incapable of any positive actions. The godling you describe is some simplering little dandy, a whimpering whiny weakling bully that in fits of tantrum throws major catastrophies around just to show he's to be noticed. It is the actions of a petulant child, immature and peevish.

more nonsense from the End Timers
The End Times are Coming!
The End Times are Coming!
​
Talk about Chicken Little.
​
Couple thousand to be exact. Getting nearer all the time, and Buz is right, the signs are increasing.
​
Absolutely untrue. What's more, in every thread and topic where buz has brought the subject up he has been unable to show that there are any such signs and any such increase.
​
The evidence that such signs are increasing exists only the minds of those who once again want to con the public and get the gullible to move yet more money into the coffers of the snake oil salesmen.

More wilfull ignorance.
And it's not as if the natives didn't do their share of the murdering too. Oh but I forget. PC says that was the white man's fault too. And not just the white man, it's the Christians who were the really evil ones. Sigh.
​
Not just wilfull ignorance but grade school playground justification. Are you saying that the mass murder, genocide and cultural destruction done by Christians and Christian Missionaries is justified becaues "they did it too?"
​
In addition, you are one of the main proponents claiming that all the good we see is the result of some "Western Christian Society" and the US was formed as a "Christian Nation." Well if that is the case then it was also that Western Christian Society that was the inspiration for Stalin's Gulags and Hitlers Death Camps. The example we set in how we treated the Native Americans stands even today as the most efficient and complete genocide of a peoples the world has ever witnessed. That same Western Christian Society totally destroyed the peoples, cultures and religions of the Americas and is continuing its acts of destruction even today.
​
One cannot claim the good without acknowledging the bad. We need to realize that while Christianity may do good, it has and is doing much that is evil. Even today, in the mainly Christian push to deprive people of their civil rights and liberties, Christianity is doing very great evil.
​
It's time that Christians began to try to act Christlike.

Re: A king can kill whoever he wants to...
Could be but it is not what the Bible says.
​
Exodus 10:1,2
​
1 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Go to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart and the hearts of his officials so that I may perform these miraculous signs of mine among them 2 that you may tell your children and grandchildren how I dealt harshly with the Egyptians and how I performed my signs among them, and that you may know that I am the LORD."
​
According to the Bible God hardened Pharoah's heart so that God could show off. He wanted to shake his wanger out there for everyone to see.

Inability to read
Is that what happens to christians? they are unable to see what is actually on the page in their own religious text?
​
Unfortunately, yes, it is what happens to many Christians, though others, non-Christians too can suffer from the same handicap. Too often they read what they know is there, not what is actually there.
