Dschihad versus crusades

obnoxious prick. What more is there to say?

Just one specific example will be enough.

If you think godliness entails both rudeness and lovingness, then
what other example could you possible require? A god that endorses
such a behavior on the part of its faithful is a false god indeed.

So if a deaf guy is standing on a railroad with his back facing an oncoming train, and I tackle the guy off his feat, and save his life in the process, would you say I am rude or loving?

Was tackling him the only way to save him? If you could have tapped him on the shoulder
and beckoned him with a hand gesture, then the answer is 'Rude.'

Was there a good chance that tackling him would make him more likely to get hit by
the train? Then it goes beyond 'rude,' it is criminal.

These two questions illustrate why being a prick is not loving. Not only are there other methods
to get someone to appreciate your religious tradition, but being a prick stands a good chance of
turning them off to the same -- they will say, 'Wow. Christians are pricks. Why would I want
to be like them?'

There is no reason to be a prick to another person. You elected that path because it was
tempting and devilishly fun.

This is why you do not know Jesus.

And if tackling him was the only was of saving him, with the train split seconds away?

Besides, I really think you are blowing this out of proportion.

I would like to know why you think that giving someone true historical facts, is being a prick?

You're not a prick for giving "true historical facts" (though I doubt you've done that). I'll leave it to someone else to enumerate the qualities that make you one.

So you want me to stroke everyone on the shoulder and tell them that everybody is going to Heaven, and then have them cursing me in hell for all eternity for lying to them?

They already curse you for lying to them.

I would be most obliged if you would be so kind as to point out the historical flaws that I have made.

So now I am a liar?

Would you mind pointing out the lies?

I don't engage in discussions with you.

I said they curse you for lying, I didn't say they were correct.

The perception exists that you are intellectually dishonest. Somebody who could be bothered might easily show this tendency of yours in this very thread. louisXIV has the same problem.

So your last three posts were not aimed at me?

How could I be so ignorant as to respond to your posts?

That is indeed a perplexing question. I think you have chosen to be.

I'm not having a discussion with you, just making some comments and leaving. 'Bye...

You implied that.

I gather this is your preception, or am I wrong?

I gather that means that you are not bothered then?

Oh, because we seem to agree on something?
