The C.C.O.I. (Christian Cult Of Ignorance) and Willful Ignorance

If today's quality of life is a curse, then I say we need to be cursed more often.

I am always curious about what time period was so much better than the present, according to the religious right. Go back 100 years and women couldn't even vote, they were discriminated against at the work place, and blacks couldn't eat at the same lunch counter as whites in certain areas. Go back 200 years and people were dying at a young age from diseases that no one really gets anymore thanks to antibiotics and vaccines. Our life expectancy has gone from 45 to 85. Infant mortality has gone from 20% or worse to 1%.When was this golden age that the religious right keeps talking about?Edited by Taq, : No reason given.

So you are saying that God would have punished her for compromising on liberal causes by letting her stay with her family?God's judgement on those who defy his laws is to put them into a loving family?

What things are worse? How would your life be better in the past than they are now?

Christians have been saying this for 2,000 years. When is it supposed to get bad?

You think showing respect to religious freedom is bad. I will keep that in mind. What judgement? How are things worse? People have never been more free. Medicine has never been better. We are living longer, and our children are more safe today than they ever have been in the past.If this what it is like when things get worse, then I really, really hope that things do get worse.

Nowhere in the Torah or other scriptures does it say that God has a son, so how can the gospels be describing the same God?

Then the full revelation of Allah was not given in the Old Testament, but it had to wait for the Koran.Same logic applies.

Yes, because christians have never done that, right?Wrong. When Charlemagne conquered the Visigoths he gave them two choices: death or conversion to christianity. Never was the Messiah described as the Son of God, and Jesus failed to fulfill those prophecies as you have been shown time and again.

Roman Catholics are christians.What next? No true scotsman puts sugar on his porridge? Once again, it is the Faith strategy for dealing with reality. If the evidence does not agree with you, stick your head in the sand and believe even harder.

Using your method, every religion would be true.

Read the Quran. Just read it and believe it.

Then you should listen to some orthodox traditional imams, especially for your misreadings of the Quran. Remember, just read it and believe it. When you read the Quran you have to fully believe it is true, and then you will see that it is true.Edited by Taq, : No reason given.
