Do some Christians need prejudice?

First, I would have to say that Jesus came to teach not to judge. He took prostitutes and allowed them to repent and He judged them not. It was not His reason for being. But believing (as I do) that the God and Jesus are one then we could say that Jesus would agree with the way God handled things back in the Old Testament times. God killed tens of thousands in mear minutes when they did things like break the rules of the temple, marry with people of another tribe (non-believing tribe or pagan tribes if you will). So it is hard to say that Jesus wouldn't do those things as well it's just that in His time that isn't what was needed. Teaching was needed. The appostles thought Jesus was going to fight a battle and He let them know that wasn't His purpose.
To single in on christians is a joke. Not saying that they aren't prejudice, because we are. We all are. You and everyone reading this is in some way or another. So I wouldn't worry to much about it. It is when we judge people based on our prejudice that it begins to cause problems. Lets not forget to mention for fairness sake that there are thousands of christians today being killed for their views. The muslim world isn't to kind to them. -Z

According to what I have heard. Yes. Their "religious" beliefs are very firm and strict on how to treat those who do not share their beliefs. The extremist take it further and chop off the heads of christians and non believers. But we are the bad guys according to you? We imperialists that help out every country any time a tradgedy occurs. How often do you see anyone give "majority chrisitan" America a helping hand when 911 or huricaines or earthquakes happen. If you are not willing to take you anti America bias out of your thinking then we have nothing else to discuss. -Z

Why don't you just sit down and type out a pretty little list of allllllll the countries around the world that have given as much as the USA in regards to aid for Tsunami victims. Hell, we are helping out Indonesia which is the largest per capita muslim country and houses terrorists that are fighting against us. [qs]Hate filled propaganda [qs/] I'm quoting the muslims themselves according to the koran not the USA. You need to stop listening to liberal talking points and read instead.Just for a second lets put pro and anti America aside. Are you telling me that it is better to have Saddam in power? In power with his two late sons to kill, rape, and torture those who speak against him. You probably think that is okay. [qs]bomb whole cities of muslims. [qs/] It's called war. [qs]cruel loan repayment regimes [qs/] Why don't research how many loans to nations like Japan and others that we have completely desolved and forgiven. We are further in debt because we give to nations to help them and then forgive the debt entirely so they can succeed. Go study. And give me some facts with backing. -Z

I personally think everyone should pay back their loans. Alot of our men died for you. Do you think it was worth something? Maybe if the USA stopped helping we could really see the truth.

Money isn't everything. We have people over their rebuilding getting water purified and alot of other neccesary things that don't come out in the $. And why don't you look at the amounts that have been donated from the private secture. People here have giving millions and millions of dollars of their own money to help out. Show me some proof. You idiots keep shooting off at the mouth about us going in for the oil, why don't you show me the proof. If it were true the liberal media would have it all over the news. SO far the only ones after the oil that is proven is the UN, Germany, France and I think not sure Russia. Where is the proof about the US or is it all hearsay like usual with you punks?This message has been edited by Zachariah, 01-27-2005 18:06 AM

Just as I thought. No proof. Hate the USA all you want. You are still ignorant of the facts.
1. The US secured oil fields because when Saddam went into Kuwait in 1991-92 he set them on fire. Since Iraq is sitting on one of the, if not the largest reserve in the world do you think it not wise to keep him from destroying the worlds oil supply. Or do you not need oil where you live?
2. Media not liberaly biased? You are a fool. Only someone so bent on believing lies would not be able to see it with clarity. When a war is going on and good things are happening to a country that has been oppressed for decades finally gets to speak and vote and media outlets are speaking ONLY of the negatives that is showing bias. When Dan Rather goes after the President of the USA with a fictional report ment to hamper the election outcome that is bias. Do you need more or are you really this stupid?
3. LIES? This president went in to Iraq 1st because Saddam wasn't complying with UN regulations that stated he was to supply them with information about his weapons and to allow the UN inspectors to go where they needed in order to get all the information. He didn't allow them and hadn't allowed them for 8 years (Clintons years) nothing was done. Clinton along with other countries said he had the WMD's but it's easier for you to say BAD....BAD George BAD! You sit on your ass doing nothing except watching and complaining. You're pathetic and full of liberal propaganda which makes you a fool.
4. Nonsense about France, Germany and the UN food for oil scandle? Do a google search. See how many article from around the world you will find about my myth. Hell it's been talked about for almost a year now. Where have you been? You better get your facts straight and bring some proof next time you shoot from the hip like you are. You are bringing nothing but B.S. and lies.
5. Prejudice or facts? When it agrees with your lies it's a fact when it doesn't it prejudice.....what a joke you are. How conveniant.

Sorry, I thought everyone on the planet had heard about it. It's only one of the biggest stories of our recent times. But if you don't like hearing bad things about socialists and communists and the OH so grand United Nations then I can see where the eyes and ears could have been shut. Here! Check these.

I hope you enjoy. And yes, before anyone says anything there were some Americans and some American companies that profitted from it as well. Just not the United States. -Z

Nooooooooooooooo. If it was a French Company then I would have said so. This is the French gov, German gov, Russian gov. If I'm mistaken please find an article to enlighten me. Thanks.
