Is someone going to call this out as radical Christian terrorism? I think we should make this into a thing...

I was expecting Pauline Hanson or Fraser Anning to be involved.

"They are a type of virus that has really got no credibility," he said. "If they really understood the gospel then the gospel is about liberation. "It's about an accommodation of the diversity and differences that we have in our belief systems."

The gospel is about a belief system of being a devoted servant of Christ. It is about conformity, not diversity.

But there is diversity in how Christian manifest their beliefs.

In the old days, diversity wasn't tolerated. Nowadays, it frequently is.

If the burning of the Library at Alexandria and the torture-slaying of its chief librarian ("Hypatia") by Christian zealots is not recognized as terrorism, then the burning of a few icons and idols by modern-day Christian zealots will go largely un-noticed.

What kind of "thing"? How should we go about it? And just who is this "we" of whom you speak, anyway?

According to the bible there is only one belief system and it is strict. It says that many of the people walked out on Jesus because he was too demanding. Nowadays there are many who want to have their cake and eat it too. They want conditional Christianity that allows whatever they want it to. The bible warns against that too. Something about them having their ears tickled.

Ah here it is, "For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather round them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear." - 2 Timothy 4:3

It's too bad a more mainline form of Christianity hadn't caught on among these people.

By the 4th century AD, Christ might not have recognized the religion He “created.”

He would never had called himself a “Christian.”

He thought of Himself as a Jew who saw much wrong with the Jewish hierarchy.

There are many sects of Christianity who all think they interpret the Bible “strictly.”

Evangelicals think in unrealistic absolutes rather than accepting that people in need and in pain have to come before strict rules. Cases in point: when Jesus told his disciples to pick grain to eat on the Sabbath, or when he saved the adulteress from being stoned to death despite what the law demanded.

Something I don't quite get. The second largest mainline church is the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA).

It's hardly evangelical in the common American word usage. It actually dates back to Europe of old, when Lutherans, especially in Germany, had referred to themselves as Evangelicals. The uninformed sometimes assume they are American evangelical types, when in fact they are theological left leaning mainline Protestants. My own Lutheran Church Missouri Synod is a theologically right leaning mainline Protestant body. Still, mainline without the evangelical type theology and practice.
