Inflamitory Crap

[The Lizard King]

Senseless. Fuck, what's next, people killing other people as a result of their beliefs or "renouncing their faith" in Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny? Makes about as much sense. Oh well, a few less gullible people to pollute this world and perhaps kill on their own in the name of their misguided faith. Too bad.

I'll bet not one person on this board can name one good thing
that religion has ever wrought.



Just ban it all, God will recognize his own!

Well, the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel is pretty impressive.

My take on the wealth on display at the Vatican is not very positive. Didn't someone say "Blessed are the poor" and "the meek shall inherit the earth". I think something got lost in the translation somewhere.

can't argue with the architecture ... but the policies still need work!

This is incorrect. To followers of Islam Jesus is a prophet, just Mohammed was a later prophet. In the Muslim faith, I mean the actual teachings not the fanatics, they are taught to respect "All people of the book". This means Jews, Christians and Muslims. Most Musilms ARE NOT on a Jihad against anybody, the same as most Christians aren't out to kill muslims and most Protestants aren't out to kill Catholics. This stuff does happen in the world, but it is not one of the tenents of any of those faiths. If you looked at Northen Ireland you would quickly discover that unlike the way it is portrayed by U.S. Media, it really isn't about Catholics and Protestants. You would find if you ever got outside of North America that it isn't about Muslims killing non-muslims.

I am not a Muslim but I spent time in the middle east and I grew to respect most the muslims I met. I also spent time in Northern Ireland and found gangs and thugs are gangs and thugs no matter how they want to portray their intentions.

This board isn't about love but it is about sex which most days is close enough, please keep the hateful crap off of it.

There are several sections of the Suras in the Koran which explicitly call for the removal of non-believers, either by believers killing them or by the conversion of non-believers to Islam. As for prophets, Islam claims Muhammed to be the final prophet and his prophesy to be the perfect communication from God, surpassing and replacing all previous prophesies. The "book" that you refer to is specifically the Koran. There is plenty for non-moderate Islamic zealots to find in the Koran to justify their actions.

As well, any bone-headed extremists in any ideology can find rationale to support any crime against others - history is full of them.
