It isn't violent. And it isn't ironic. I call myself Killer Kyle because it rhymes and sounds cool (i hope). It does not imply that I am violent. Just because I call myself Killer doesn't make me one. I just came in and wanted to answer your argument and hopefully not rekindle any argument between you two.
Jesus did get mad at the temple, but he did not beat anybody up (as far as I know). There is violence in the bible (lots in old testament as far as I know), but that does not mean that we are violent. Some of those were acts for God (unlike abortion clinic bombings/senseless violence) while others were the sins of others. And yes, biblical figure were violent for no reason or bad reasons. Again not everyone is perfect, and most biblical figures made a mess up or two (except Jesus).
I'm a Christian...I've never killled anyone. You must remember that all religions have extremists, they do not represent the majority.
correct, any extremists from any religion is incompetent and uneducated. what people who are against abortion fail to understand is something so clearly simple. darwin's theory, which basicly states: "If your storng you live if your weak you die."
in other words: if that fetus cannot defend itself then it deserves to die
'"If your strong you live if your weak you die."
in other words: if that fetus cannot defend itself then it deserves to die'
Might makes right, egh. So according to you it was right for Hitler to systematically exterminate the Jews, it was right for the terrorists on 9/11 to kill those people because they couldn’t defend themselves?

Reason: Spelling in quote
this is the law of nature simple as that it doesnt matter if it is worng or right if the jews from the holocaust and victims of 9/11 could defend themselfs and win then we wouldnt be calling them victims now would we?
and btw what does the theory of evolution have to do with anything again im confused so I think I should start posting random images
lol you might have Vladtemplar buying a bible, then posting violent verses.(if any)

I am not trying to say that christians are violent but...
Why did Europeans kill 1,200,000+ Muslims and no one was punished(except getting pwn3d)?
Why did american/british christians slaughter(Genocide) 4 million+ Native americans?
The fuckers got away with fucking genocide. and americans still got all the attention.
Christians, Muslims, and jews(it gets diffent when you talk about region IE: Israel), have been violent but not in such a way as Hitler, or Stalin.
Note: im not saying christians are violent. i am saying that every one is. but not as violent as Vlad makes it sound.
note: this thread was made to show how stupid Vlad sounded when he was talking about islam. not to really make a point.

I too an am athiest, and personally, if it wernt so widly believed, I would think religion is just for insecure people who cant think for themselves. Basicially, in my eyes, religion was used hundreds of years ago to enforce morality and keep civilization civlized. Noone really knows if its true.
I just have trouble believing that there is 1 all powerful god controlling everything. too many questions and too few answers.
I do believe tho, that people should be free to express whatever religion they wish, and I also believe that they should not try to impress their beliefs on other people.
I think that religion can bring a sense of stability to people who need it or bring peace to those that seek it, even if I dont believe in it.
But I have heard of far more Muslim acts of violence 'in the name of Alliah' than Christian acts of violence. (one example: 9/11 was done in the name of the muslim god)...
These 'radicals' act behind the name not for the name.
They could act using the name of Cadbury chocolate, this does not make all people who eat Cadburys bad.

You've HEARD.
I only have to say that just because it was done by muslims dosent mean he did it ''in the name of allah''.

Ignorant means "not educated", when you call him ignorant, you just calling him a name.

I don't agree with religion, but I don't think any religion is violent, just the fanatics. I don't follow The Ten Commandments, I follow Virginia State Law.The Bible, The Qur'an, and The Torah were all written by people, they are all great pieces of literature, but I don't believe something I read. When I read Fight Club, I didn't start worshiping Tyler Durden and start fights with people. Look, you can't tell Atheists they are wrong, because you don't really know. I'm not an Athiest, I am not a Christian, I'm under the catagory None.
Why do they bomb abortion clinics? Why did they commit genocide against hundreds of thousands of Bosnian Muslims? Why did they committ genocide on Lebanese Muslims? Why was I physically assaulted several times in my former hometown for not believing in God by these Christian people?

Yes Christianity is a religion of violence, but isn't every religion? I would say simply that it is one of the most viloent but Islam is still more violent because it encourages the use of force to spread itself in the koran.
