How brave would they be...?

Unfortunately, there are many examples of hate and bigotry in this country. Just look at the titles of the questions here in the R & S Section. Jehovah's Witnesses what do you think of this? Jews only, why don't you accept Christ as your messiah, everyone else does? I hate all Muslim's because of the terrorism? Should Catholics go to hell?

I realize that this section does not represent a true cross section of the American public. But it scares the hell out of me. People who ask questions and only accept answers that agree with them. When people try to give good answers or opinions they are thumbed down.

I used to be a top contributor in R & S and finally decided that now I will only answer questions that mean something to me. I am a proud, 60 year old Jewish man who has seen to much bigotry, hate, and BS in one lifetime. I hope that people can understand that every belief or non-belief is the correct choice for that person and we don't need people who tell them that it is there way or the highway.

Many countries have had to enact laws to protect people from religious persecution and then surprisingly find they are having to be used on Christians!!

Whilst you are fighting to return peace and unity christian aid workers are actually threatening to destroy it by using aid to try and convert them.

Afghanistan's Islamic council has told President Hamid Karzai to stop foreign aid groups from trying to convert locals to Christianity "The council is concerned about these activities and considers such acts against Islamic sharia (law), the constitution, and political stability,"

Better make sure you have plenty of ammo !!!!!

Oh trust me, I would never announce my atheism in the Middle East. I'm thankful that Christianity isn't such a primitive religion (although I sometimes wonder if some Christians would choose to harm me if we didn't have a secular democracy to protect us).

That's not going to stop me from questioning and criticizing it, if that's what you're getting at.

Oh, by the way, paragraphs are your friend. I might have actually been able to read that whole mess if you used them.

I wouldn't be the least bit interested in going to their backward countries anyway, While they live in my country I expect them to behave just like the rest of us do, how pathetic wanting to kill an innocent woman because one of her students called a Teddy Bear Mohammad...

I would have no qualms at all with dispatching such violent half-witted morons to their Allah...

BB... )O(

I'm not in the Middle East, and the Muslims are not the ones trying to destroy my secular republic. The Christians, however, are bent on a theocracy.

When I'm a guest in another country, I behave. But if a group of Muslims in America were as rude as you, I'd respond in kind.

The reason we are safe here is because of secular law, not because Christians would not kill us. They know the consequences, though I have had a gun pointed at me by a neighbor for being "a god d***ed atheist!" It is rule of law that ended Christian bloodshed, not your twisted view that your faith is a peaceful one. It was born of blood and continues to be bloody.

And why aren't you over there fighting, oh Yellow Elephant?

Yes, a lot of coward here on both sides, saying what they would not say in person. I am glad to live in a country that tolerates atheist. I do think you model is flawed, as most people would change what they say when confronted with the possibility of death.

Generally speaking, Muslims aren't as loudmouthed or intolerant. I lived in an British Asian community for years and they were far more Christian in outlook than most Christians.

Funny how you're lumping ALL Muslims together, isn't it?

How brave would you be in the middle east? Would you go door to door there trying to convert muslims? I doubt it. Would you go stand on the corner with signs saying everyone is going to Hell unless they convert and repent? I doubt it. That is why neither of us live or go to the middle east.

My beliefs don't change no matter where i am. I live in the UK which is not that far from becoming an Islamic state.

Good point. We need to pray for them; the devil is a liar and he works day and night as hard as he possibly can to poison the world against God and God's people.
