I don't mind Christians in principle, it's just the actual people that bother me.

I don't believe in persecution, forced conversion, nor revival meetings.

At least revival meetings are voluntary, and I would rather not attend, confident in the knowledge that "I have been there, done that, got the T shirt", and now believe in spiritual but not religion - that I won't go to hell because I am "not saved" or "apostate". People are entitled to their beliefs as long as they don't preach to those who dont want to listen.

Muslims should be persecuted and exterminated, just like the rest of the human race.

Now that's a type of persecution I could get onboard with ;)

Nice reply :)

i dont think anyone should be pursecuted for there religious beliefs. the reason i think people do it in the first place is because they think there religion is the only way to god. so if you are of another religion they gotta convert you or kill you. sad really

it's stupid because if one religion believes there is only one god, and the next religion says the same, doesn't that mean that the two gods must be the same one? They're only arguing over details.

Yes, and in the case of Islam, Christianity and Judaism, they are all worshiping the One God of Abraham, which means its the Interpretation of the details.

If an atheist does the same thing to a Christian, a Christian potentially loses his/her salvation and must endure unspeakable tortures to keep the faith. Although in the end, it will lead to a renewal of Christianity, so it will be worth it. The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Christian church. And maybe God will spare me the pain, as He hath done to other martyrs in history.


If you think you are a Christian, please re-read the words of Christ:

Quote:
Luke 10:25 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.


You will not gain anything from saying you are a Christian, or lose anything by saying your are not one. You will not be judged on which box of religion you proclaim yourself to be in.

and if you really believe in god, only the truth will matter in the end. Saying you're a christian and then living in a un-christian way is pointless.
