Religion IS organized oppression. That's exactly what it is. For instance, I heard with my own three ears on the short wave bands, there are these nut case fundie 'christians' who make up the majority, and a shameful thing it is, of english language broadcasts now. Anyway, I heard this nutter saying about some other sect of christianity, like maybe Baptists ...[text shortened]... e bank. We are not living in a moderate picnic world and never have and never will.
But be careful you don't fall into the same bag you lump everybody else into. No matter what happens in this life sifting through the morass is a continuous struggle.

1Th 4:11 And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands,
But of course there are the noisy ones that think it's their business to act on behalf of God even if it means killing. They'll get theirs.
Originally posted by scottishinnzPeople not Christianity have blood on their hands. Do not mistake man's work for God's Word. God told us Thou shall not kill. It is not God's fault if man does not listen. Will also have free will. So it is a choice. I admit killing it not the answer and it is wrong, but it is still man's choice. It is a result of not listening to God.
Christianity has its own fair share of blood on its hands too. Let's not forget that.
Originally posted by realeyezDo you consider those who killed under god's instruction to have acted wrongly?

Originally posted by realeyezBut Christianity often mandates killing people. For example, the bible advocates killing the children of our enemies. I would say that is a direct result of listening to the great sky fairy.
