Muslim hero breaks up train beating

[mawilson 2,133]

Well yes, of course, I was referring to the devoutly religious. Jews who eat pork

and Muslims who drink wine are not "religious" people in my book.

#######??? brother MA..if a person ..Catholic..believes in birth control..then theya re not religious...same for a Jew who eats shellfish..or a Muslim that drinks wine...

That's what I said.

brother MA....you need to go over to the "bickering thread'

almaty - you can't pick and choose your beliefs. You either believe in Christ/Jahweh/Allah/Easter Bunny

and the Holy Scriptures in their entirety, or you don't.

whoa, brother MA....i doubt if the Muslim or the Jews ..would eat a bacon sandwich.....it is a religious doctrine...and a point taken

Religious doctrine implies mindlessness. A Muslim or a Jew wouldn't stop to think about

not eating a bacon sandwich. There are certain things religious people just don't do --

they have no "choice" in the matter.

They forbid eating pork because they consider it unclean, however, in a life or death situation, anyone capable of thinking for themselves would rationalize the situation and choose the lessor 'evil'.

Bullsh!t. For one, using the term 'belief' means what? That one interprets the Holy Scriptures literally? I think you have a skewed understanding of religion and faith.

It's lesser evil, Steven. Lesser. A lessor is someone who lends money or grants a lease of property to a lessee.

I'm not bickering.

Or rather, a wise religious individual would follow the teachings of his/her respective religion's originators and not the fanatical doctrines set forth by people along the way.

This person helped, *big shocker*, a fellow group of human beings that were clearly victims of ignorant punks that think their "beliefs" are the only "legitimate" ones to be followed. This isolationist mentality can be applicable to any imposing point of view whenever one lives in a society of majorities that think that a majority is an excuse to overshadow and denigrate those that are different.

...just because someone is disagreeing with you, doesn't mean you have to be rude!! take a step back and think of where you're posting....its visajourney.com ...a lot of people on here don't speak English as their first language...it was completely unnecessary to point that out...clearly, you understood what he was trying to say.

Lisa, do you ever take opposition to mawilson? Seriously, I've never seen you jump on his case for any of the many outrageous posts he makes. For someone who likes to be outraged, you peculiarly quiet when it comes to some people's otherwise outrageous posts.

If you're not going to follow all the rules, then why even bother?

Religion isn't about following a set of rules....except in the minds of fundamentalists.
