Determining what to do with a terrorist religion in Religion JoeUser Forums

Christianity is one of the best examples of a terrorist religion. It has an automatic justification allowing it to take away individual and cultural freedom and insert itself instead. In politics, this type of action is considered a threat to national security and would end in war. If the Christians had kept themselves to the middle east from where the originated, there wouldn't have been much of a problem today - but they didn't, and still today, they actively try to undermine anythi

Keep in mind that Christianity stole the X-mas event from the Pagans and altered it, and gave themselves credit for the whole thing. There is nothing holy about anything Christian, and Christianity has never ever respected what is considered holy by other cultures/religions. Respect and tolerance is earned - and Christianity still need to prove itself in order to be tolerated and respected...

The flawed Christian God... in Religion JoeUser Forums

We constantly hear that the Christian god is oh-so powerful, almighty, omnipotent and so on... So let's put it to the test. Would a God have the need to get angry? If I had the powers of the Christian God, I would not have to feel anger by anything. Why would I bother. Nothing can hurt me - not even Lucifer. So why waste time on an irrational emotion like anger? Would a God create end-of-the world dramas? No, of course not. Any God with that kind of power could just make h

[quote who="Jythier" reply="13" id="3253217"]From Wikipedia's Muhammad entry: Muhammad gained few followers early on, and was met with hostility from some Meccan tribes; he and his followers were treated harshly. To escape persecution, Muhammad sent some of his followers to Abyssinia before he and his followers in Mecca migrated to Medina (then known as Yathrib) in the year 622.

He left Mecca and found a place that was receptive to him, and then he had an army of 10,000. Then he wrote that you shouldn't leave the heretics alive, and that everyone should be Islam. Then, he invaded Mecca and everyone became Muslim.
