#1 Islam is the one and only religion that allows you to be offended about everything and go stark raving mad as a holy response.

#2 They do get their knickers in a knot over the most minor of things. Not good for their health.

#3 It's called faith.

Where were christians when Christmas became a bad word? When a cross in a glass of urine was called art? When abortion became the law of the land? When the institution of marriage was destroyed?

Faith has its merits.

#4 Nothing wrong with faith. But in a pluralistic society, you don't get to kill people over it.

#5 Christians were both the victims and the victimizers at Magdeburg during the Thirty Years War.

#6 Is it really "faith" if you have to kill anyone who doubts? Isn't it really tyranny at that point?

#7 Sounds more like lack of faith to me.

As in "Our god Allah is such a wimpy wet noodle we cannot allow even a picture of his profit to be drawn."

#8 Every time the Islamopansies freakout about something offending Islam I have the Hulk's reply to Loki run through my head.

"Puny god."

#10 Honorable Mention for the chalk sketches in the street

#11 I do not justify the killing. I simply point out the absence of high profile activity in protest of "anti-Christian" agendas. In a majority Christian nation you'd think someone might get off the couch besides Westborough. It seems to be in the club, you gotta adhere to the beliefs and the community otherwise your a faithless poser just trying to avoid damnation with your own squishy rendering of Christianity. In a pluralistic society you'd think your see a little more expression of disagreement en masse.

#12 Not so much, Jefe. But if you pull a gun there are those of us will shoot back.

#13 ...especially in Texas. Next time you might try a soft target like San Francisco. But they're so busy hallucinating they don't have time to offend you.

#14 Jefe, Westboro is no Christian organization but a bunch of lawyers who use their "church" as a vehicle to sue people. The Piss Christ was so childish an "artwork" that it was not worth responding too.

#15 Here's a quote from Christopher Hitchens re morality, offending religious sensitivities and faith:
"These are some of the same people who say that if I don't believe in God I can't know what morality is. They've just dissolved morality completely into relativism by saying actually, occasionally, carving up grandfathers and granddaughters with an axe on New Year's Eve can be okay if it's done to protect the reputation of a seventh century Arabian man who heard voices."

I wonder what Hitchens would have said about a Pope who appeared to be publicly mocking the victims of an islamofascistic death squad.

#16 Westboro BC uses Christianity as a vessel to incite crowds where they sue anyone does something like touch or violently threaten them.

Phelps, who had been disbarred, ran for governor 4 times, and US Senate once, as a Democrat - odd party to choose if he really believed his crap. Also friends with Al Gore.

Ran across them back when mobile phones had more in common with cinder blocks. First thing they did was set up a video camera. Then they would play the boogyman and get people so upset they would walk around for weeks cursing Christians.

#17 I used poor wording. My point was not to endorse Westborough or violent suppression of free speech. Rather the dilution of Christianity and lack of "activism".
My apologies.

#18 I think Christians take a somewhat different view of activism than you. They do silly things like putting on rummage sales to raise money for poor people. They run food banks, homeless shelters and whatnot. They teach Sunday school. They contribute money for disaster relief whenever there is a typhoon in the Philippines or an earthquake in Nepal. Silly, silly people. They take a somewhat different approach to activism...helping people and showing them God's love instead of pissing them off or killing them and they do it every day instead of waiting for someone to put a cross in a jar of urine.

#19 Didn't think you were, I had to grow up with them so I bash them with the truth every chance I get.

#20 All worthwhile investments which many faiths engage in. But do you not agree Christianity and it's values seem "under attack" in America.

Again I apologize if I have offended.

#21 I also had the unpleasant experience of watching Westborough in action. Had to be seperated from the guy by a peace officer. Never touched him but our heated conversation over his flag decorum caught the cops attention. They are good at verbal baiting.

#22 Not just good, they are master baiters.

I agree Christianity is under attack. I find it so offensive they have pushed me into Christianity's camp were I am eagerly awaiting the next available high horse.

I also agree that there is no real organized counter to the anti-Christians.

#23 Christians join the military, silently sneak up on bad guys and eliminate them. They really don't say much while doing it. I prefer they quote scripture like the sniper in Saving Private Ryan. Never underestimate the power of the phrase "Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition".

#24 The Christian faith, based on 66 books written over 1500 years by 60 different prophets is a deep and complex subject if applied to every situation and circumstance in life.

The founders of this nation were well versed in the subject and could hold their own regarding Christian virtues in public debate, the major colleges were originally founded by pastors who believed in higher learning of the creation.

But over the centuries, those institutions have been taken over by the liberal, and understanding the books by the general public is non-existent. All of which was foretold in the book of Revelations.

The most devout ministers tell their congregations to state scripture relaxant to a topic rather than get caught up in debate. They say no one has an effective response to an accurate reference to verse if one has that knowledge.
