Dude I don't give a crap one way or the other whether christians are compassionate or not, as long as they are prevented from impinging upon the
lives of me and my family with their delusions, I'm happy.
So you didn't see jesus in the film ? either you didn't watch it all or you have little faith, jesus is inside you he is a spirit-- you can fill in
the rest.
Yes dude I'm from Wales, an occupied country no less, where previous centuries have witnessed the oppression and abuse of the population. Not the
least of the oppressors was the Christian movement, which forced itself upon the population by the most hideous forms of murder and torture rape and
theft, not unlike the genocide of the Native Americans.
Allthough fundamentalism seems to be on the increase (uk wide) christianity thank god, is waning by the day, and many of the churches are being pulled
down or turned into flats and such.
As far as I'm aware the last uk count was that, less than 40% of the uk believe in a god (ref Dawkins), and a rather large chunk of those only see
the inside of a church at begrudgingly weddings and funerals.
Yes the Uk is at war with the people of Iraq, thanks to idiots like blair (who's since turned to catholicism lol) who has subsequently been booted
out, and as far as I'm concerned should be tried for his deception.
Ron Paul has rightly pointed out, that the Isalmic world has rightly or wrongly, been responding kicking and screaming by the wests interference who
have used the beliefs and fears of their own deluded citizens to create tensions between islam and christianity.
But there again you can't be that stupid not to see this can you ?
If there is any apologising to be done, then surely it is from religion, and as I'm in the west I will specify christianity which has for centuries
caused untold misery by inforcing itself upon people and intefering with politics.
Here on ATS we have yet another very long debate over this interferance, which is a result of a religious belief system imposing upon others who
reject it.
Christianity is now getting the rightly deserved big finger, have you views by all means, discuss your views with others should you wish. But when
others reject your belief respect them and walk away don't try to inforce it on them by using positions of influence etc.
What could be simpler than this ?
"Thank you for enlightening us as to your religious beliefs but we're happy to live our lives the way we do. You think we're wrong we think your
deluded, goodbye"
