Rrhain, please document where in the Bible, either god, Jehovah, the father or the son of god, Jesus allowed for Christians to kill or harm anyone. As I've always explained adnausium to you people, mandate was given to a specific nation for a specific period of time for this. Vatican popes, bishops and Jesuits had no such mandate from any scripture, New Testament or Old Testament.

buzsaw,
That's already been done for you. There are numerous threads regarding comparisons of the Bible and the Koran regarding passages where god commands people to kill the infidels.
I am not going to repeat the work that other people have worked so hard to present to you simply because you refused to read it the first time. Get off your ass and do your own homework.

I'm not afraid of being converted, or harassed if I fail to convert. Besides, if you believe in eternal security then I have nothing to worry about. I know my belief was genuine, even if it is dead and buried now.
I'm afraid that there are people who are really as ignorant, closed-minded, and intolerant as the image portrayed on that site. I am afraid for humanity because I know that, even if that site is a joke, it only exists because real people elsewhere possess similar views, and are more than willing to shove them down the throats of others.
Why do I feel like you're baiting me (and my fellow heathens) in so many of your posts? In trying to be thought-provoking you seem to flirt with the realm of antagonism fairly often.

Quick check here.I can bring further examples if need be.
" Deu 13:13 [Certain] men, the children of Belial, are gone out from among you, and have withdrawn the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which ye have not known;
Deu 13:14 Then shalt thou enquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and, behold, [if it be] truth, [and] the thing certain, [that] such abomination is wrought among you;
Deu 13:15 Thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that [is] therein, and the cattle thereof, with the edge of the sword.
Deu 13:16 And thou shalt gather all the spoil of it into the midst of the street thereof, and shalt burn with fire the city, and all the spoil thereof every whit, for the LORD thy God: and it shall be an heap for ever; it shall not be built again. "
It may be that I misinterpreted what is meant by "Thou Shalt surely smite."

The majority of the right-wing extremist groups in the US all identify as Christian.
The KKK is a Christian organization, as are most other white supremicist groups and Neo-Nazis.

(I really wish I could post over the weekend.. I miss all the best threads that way!)
Buz, I don't have a problem with other people's beliefs. I DO have a problem with people who teach kids lies and call it science.
