View Profile I mean, the terrorists crashed into the World Trade Center, not the Vatican. What does that tell you?
They were terrible map readers?

View Profile I judge religions by their doctrines, not their extremists.
An atheist and a theist can both have political reasons for killing people.
Only religious people can kill others with the promise of virgins in the afterlife.
You don't see atheists killing others because of some sacred text.

I don't think so, no. I think you guys are looking at the wrong thing, why is only CERTAIN people are made extremists when the other 99.9999999999999 percent of the people who believe in that religion are unaffected by it.

View Profile Ash, quit picking and choosing verses of the Bible to judge it by. The core idea of Christianity is the Golden Rule, do unto others as you would have them do unto you. And you want to know what? Almost every single Christian follows this principle. I mean, you can attack the core doctrine all you want, but understand that there are only a small handful of people in the world who have those beliefs, and would try and defend them.
Judge people by who they really are, and what they really believe. No reasonable person wants to kill everyone who works on the Sabbath, or sell their daughters into slavery. They might say that they believe in the Bible, word for word, but they are lying in an attempt to justify their beliefs. Most people understand right and wrong, and please judge them as such until they prove otherwise.
It's why I'm so tired with you, you constantly attack a belief that no one believes in.
