The Muslims are coming!

[Joseph & Ana 0]

Interesting - so there are concessions to be had in Christianity to excuse the bloodthirstiness in some of its scriptures, but there cannot be any concession for context for Islam.

Again I ask - what is the point of this line of argument?

No concessions - completion of the law through Christ. Islam does not afford such forgiveness. Therefore, since the only way one can know for sure if they are going to paradise is to be a martyr, it makes muslims obligated to that around the world. As is proven by the worldwide violence in Islam's name.

Actually there is.. Christianity. You quote all old testament verses, and leave out the fact that Jesus came to fulfill the law since humanity cannot fulfill or obey the law. Jesus brought forgiveness, not death. Also, there is no salvation in Islam. You obey the law and hope you were good enough to get in. Though, even in islam it is physically impossible to keep the law. So no one knows for sure if they're good enough (that is unless they become a martyr, then they know for sure).

The NT is as full of internal inconsistencies (and I mean 100s) as any other religious text.

I can't believe that in 2009 we have two groups of adults that are trying to have a rational argument over which book of ancient mythology is the "true" one. Ridiculous religious disputes that are based on such nonsense are exactly why there are so many problems in the world.

No one lost and no one won, because this argument is not winnable.

What do inconsistencies have to do with the violence we are talking about? Red herring.

i dont really want to get into an argument over this but we received forgiveness from God........the terrorist are not martyr they will not get into heaven for what they have done.......Islam is a very forgiving religion and way of life....killing innocent people is against islam

I'm not questioning their scruples, the Quran is questioning it.

Based on your (as ever) insightful and detailed analysis of the subject at hand

That's OK Joe - no need to say anything more. I accept your concession that you don't have the first idea of what you're talking about.

Doesn't change the fact that I do, and you have yet to dispute anything i've said except attack the messenger and say he isn't smart enough. Definitely a sign that you yourself don't know what you're talking about

So apparently there aren't any verses which show the loving and forgiving god that Allah is.

You aren't going to get me to back down by calling me prejudice. Thats a "shut-up" tactic that has never worked on me. Liberals love to do it. Whenever they can't refute something they call someone racist, bigoted, or prejudice. Nothing was cherry-picked as the tree is still loaded with hundreds more. Even if 100% of the verses said the same thing, you'd have the same argument. So it wouldn't matter.

BIGOT + PREJUDICE + RACIST = Conservative winning a debate with a Liberal.

Well, that's a convenient equation for bigoted and racist conservatives, now isn't it?

This thread isn't a #######-for-tat about Christianity - I simply asked where the similarities were in regards to strapping bombs on people and blowing innocents up.

You make yourself sound stupid. It doesn't take me to tell you that.

*Yawn* See - this here is the problem.

You don't put anymore analysis into anything than this - and all you do is say the same thing over and over and over and over.
