no its not, the invasion of Iraq was politically motivated by greed, not be religion, although given the record of American right wing neo cons i could very well be persuaded that it was religious.

You seem to have missed this again:
"For all your rhetoric, it doesn't address the following:
Seems unlikely that perpetuating hateful stereotypes about Muslims and homosexuals is something that Jesus would have condoned."

Originally posted by ThinkOfOneThere are Muslims and then there are Muslims. Indonesia seems to have fair relations with Christians and such but the Afghan fundies are a different breed.

I am not by any means saying Christianity is any better. It seems to me none of the organized religions are worth a dinkers dam.

Originally posted by ThinkOfOneI apologized for what I said. You could have addressed the issue then, but opted to avoid it.
There have been a number of threads and posts that are Islamophobic or Homophobic in nature. From what I can tell, the vast majority have been posted by Christians and/or supported by Christians. It also seems that the vast majority of those speaking out against such hatred have been non-Christians.
Based on that, it seems that Christianity is more a ...[text shortened]... rather than of love. Many Christians speak about love and forgiveness, yet show their hypocrisy.

I have no idea what you mean by that. Also note that I reworded my post since it did not convey my intended meaning.
My point is that you are doing what you complaining about!

Originally posted by sonhouseMaybe it comes down to "fundamentalism". They seem the most likely to go against truth, love, compassion, justice, etc. Their emphasis on adhering to dogma seems to blind them to the underlying spirit.

Originally posted by KellyJayLet me see if I understand this correctly. You're criticising me for criticising Christians who engage in perpetuating hateful and prejudicial stereotypes?

Also you seem to have not understood the OP or my explanation to CK. Perhaps you should give them another pass.

I assure you, I did not miss anything. Your generalisation, without any actual examples, is quite ridiculous.
The OP was a call for Christians on this forum to live up to a higher standard than what has been exhibited.
Any examples? Actually, I think the Christians on the whole to comport to a higher standard. I would definitely not put you up there.
Originally posted by ThinkOfOneYou are the one that is casting Christians in that light.
Christians on this forum cast themselves in this light. I'm merely pointing it out.
Hypocrite
You spew forth your venomous hatred towards Christians by misrepresenting their motives, and then call Christians homophobes and Islamophobes simply because Christians won't legitimize abominable behavior.
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Only a reprobate mind would excuse ungodly behavior and then accuse those who have the courage and love to expose that behavior for what it is.
Originally posted by ThinkOfOneYea, you were again running down Christians pointing out faults as if no other

group does those things you were highlighting as something just Christians do.
I'd join you in criticising had you did it against the human race as a whole, since
those things were talking about are human traits, since those things you brought
up are not limited to just Chritians, yet you make it sound as if they were.
