LeviF Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 I believe that Islam is coddled and off limits to ridiculed for some reason when they do wrong. Reminds me of fat people. We can berate smokers of cigarettes in public all we want about the poor choices they're making, but when it comes to fat people, nuh-uh.

Adam Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 I not defending what those people did to you, I think it is wrong, But I do think that Christians hear about it when they do wrong it's front page news every day, which is good the cleansing light of truth should be shined on hypocrites. I believe that Islam is coddled and off limits to ridiculed for some reason when they do wrong. Not really, they don't. And my example it just to show that no religion is perfect. I don't really think I should get apologies from people who didn't do anything- thats lidicrous and would be a waste of time and energy on my part and on the part of people who did nothing. Look at the uproar from the Vatican over a couple of very good movies- Angels and Demons and Da Vinci Code. Both had a great message- to be wary over religion. No religion is truly peaceful, because people are not peaceful- we are the lowest form of animal on the planet and don't ever forget that. What other animal makes war for the made up reasons that we do?

Or, more specifically, the gubmint shouldn't.

Some reason the religion of peace phase that gets tossed around in the media and the PC crowd just enrages me! I lose it every time i hear it! Edited September 29, 2010 by whateverdude

Nearly passed out from a bad allergy attack, this time of year isn't exactly fun. I also don't post from my Blackberry much after I leave work. Not many people in this world are peaceful. I know I am far from perfect- and I am the only one I can have much of an impact on.....I try not to worry so much about others, at least until I am beyond reproach.
bbb Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 That's not condemning the acts, never mind the d-bag himself, of the terrorist. Instead, it sounds like something out of 1984. It sounds like Clinton-esque obfuscation. It sounds bizarre, especially when it is said 2 days after ANOTHER Muslim kills somebody. No amount of calling me, or anybody else, names is going to to make this "religion of peace" crap sound less bizarre to rational people. It's also not going to explain why in the hell the "good" Muslims aren't going out of their way to squish the bad ones. IF they are, then they should fire their PR people, because we don't see it, hear about it, nothing. Well, there is that guy in Orchard Park who has a TV network in order to build bridges from Muslims to the rest of the world.

So, what about the religion itself? You are avoiding saying that Islam is not the religion of peace. I already know you feel this way about Christianity. Are you frighten to say this about Islam? You stand on a very weak foundation when you bash other organised religions and defend only one. Either bash them all respect them all or don't defend any of them.

You stand on a very weak foundation when you bash other organised religions and defend only one. Either bash them all respect them all or don't defend any of them. As I have said on other occasions, there is no religion of peace or religion of violence. Religion is what it is- and that is neutral. People are good or bad and for the most part, influenced by what is around them, as they are usually too weak to think for themselves. We can only look to ourselves to do the right thing- we don't need somebody else to do it for us.
DC Tom Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 Reminds me of fat people. We can berate smokers of cigarettes in public all we want about the poor choices they're making, Actually, we can't. They don't choose to be addicted to cigarettes, the tobacco industry forced them to be addicted. They're just innocent victims. We're headed that way with the obese, too. Give it a decade, and the fat bastards will be considered innocent victims of the fast food industry. Pretty soon, the only people we'll be allowed to make fun of are the mentally ill and Republicans.
