Camel's Noses, Trojan Horses, and Cultural Aggression

Hi Buz,

quote:

---

"Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men."

---

Also see Mark 3:29 (KJV);

quote:

---

But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation.

---

And you're fine with that. Really? Really really? Would you really be cool with seeing this kid end up in Hell? Really?Eternal damnation seems pretty harsh for the posting of one smart-ass Youtube video.Mutate and Survive

Buz, I know you don't want it to happen, that's not the point. What worries me is that you believe it and yet you still worship the sick and evil monster who would condemn that poor kid to eternal damnation.He seemed like a nice kid. It's a shame God can't be less of an ass about this.Mutate and Survive

Yes, God forbid that one Abrahamic faith should hijack the teachings of an earlier Abrahamic faith, that would dreadful...Mutate and Survive

Buz, I've seen your idea of "evidence" and suffice to say, I didn't find it compelling. Even if I did though, I still could not worship such a God. I wouldn't want to worship an entity that would condemn a child to hellfire just for making a smart-ass comment on a Youtube video. Still, maybe the kid got off easy. At least he didn't get ripped apart by bears first. I hear that can happen. If you truly believe in such a cruel God, you are right to fear him. To love him though? That's pretty sick. All a bit "Big Brother" for me.Mutate and Survive

Don't you get it Buz? That's how the Jews see you. Some Jesus-come-lately comes along, hijacks their scriptures, adds a load of his own ideas, contradicts the older scriptures... You may not think that the life of Christ contradicts Jewish Messianic prophecy, but Jews do think that. As far as most Jews are concerned, you Christian chaps came along, ripped off their religion and messed it up; exactly as with your complaint about Islam.Somewhere, a Jew is reading this and laughing his kosher ass off at you. "The chutzpah of these Christians! They turn up, steal our holy scriptures, our ancestral stories, and then, when someone else does the same to them, they complain! The hypocritical schmucks!"Doubtless, you'll say "Ah, but when we did it, we got it right." and cite prophecy as your proof. You should be aware though, that any good Muslim would do exactly the same in response to Christianity.Mutate and Survive

Do you ever get distracted by the sound of things whooshing over your head? The number of Jews who've converted isn't the point. The point is that Jews see Christianity and say "They Changed it, Now it Sucks!"Do you at least understand the point I'm making? That Jews see Christianity the way you see Islam? That they see you and the Muslims as upstarts and Johnny-come-lately? Okay, you think they're wrong, I get that, but you can surely see the similarities?Millions of Jews see Christianity the way you see Islam. I'm not asking you to say that they're right, but can you at least appreciate that point of view?Mutate and Survive
