    I very much doubt that they are my definition of a Christian, they certainly don't sound like it but I mean also in terms of their understanding of Christianity. Some of them might not even be church goers and are just more anti-other religions than pro-Christianity.

    Every Christian thinks this same way at some level, considering other Christians to be Un-Christian. I am left to wonder if in the minds of Christians there is actually only One(1) Christian and it is the smallest religion in the world. It must get lonely up there in heaven.

    That's why it reformed.

    What's relevant, are the values which Christianity DOESN'T have.

    Are you saying that's a good thing or a bad thing?

    I'm guessing the "other Christians" are 'Christian' terrorists from prior years ago who have killed people and also the Westboro Baptist Church. There's nothing wrong with considering these people "un-Christian."

    yes, religion changes with time, jews have reformed too, no longer see many stone anyone anymore - every so often fanatics still pop un in the Christian religion, but it not many.. that is a good thing, the Muslim fanatics at this time in history are the king of that hill

    WHOA THERE!


    NO, women and homosexuals are NOT treated in a radically different way in Islamic countries than in more "enlightened countries" like the USA! NO!

    In THIS "Christian " country some people wish to make women no more than breeding cattle who can cook( a white supremist who believes that just spoke at a university, he is in agreement WITH those who want to take away women's rights to their own bodies by banning abortion) and some of our politicians want to take away some people's rights because they're homosexuals...homosexuals have been beaten and killed in this country simply because they were gay and Tiny Little Straight "Men" were frightened .


    The difference is not radical....

    Oh, and please don't bother with the crap about how women and gays should be "grateful" to live here because it's worse in other countries...that's pure crap....


    I asked nicely , """Oh, and please don't bother with the crap about how women and gays should be "grateful" to live here because it's worse in other countries...that's pure crap....

    but you just had to let women know how "lucky" they are to live in this "enlightened" country where women were not allowed to vote until the 20 th century!!!!, were beaten by husbands who were never prosecuted because some people thought men had a right to beat and RAPE their wives, where people NOW want to take away women's right to their own bodies, where women couldn't get a loan at a bank until the late 20th century, where people owned slaves, where womendo not get paid the same as the men doing the same work, where gay people are beaten and killed, ....

    OH, how LUCKY women and gays should feel in this fine country..:roll: they should be so grateful...(sarcasm alert for the historically challenged.)





    He isn't and I never said he was...here IS what I posted :""( a white supremist who believes that just spoke at a university, he is in agreement WITH those who want to take away women's rights to their own bodies by banning abortion)"""


    Don't worry, there seems to be many other things you are unaware of like life in the United States for women and gays..



    All the rights they were born with like all the rights we , you and I were born with...like the right to marry who we choose.


    No, there isn't a radical difference IF you know the situation in both countries and you don't seem to.

    You ONLY seem to know how bad the "other guy" is and have never really looked at your own country.




    There ya go again! Telling those you don't like how Lucky They Are that the US almost treats them decently....


    Lots of countries treat gays like human beings and the US could take lessons...



    IF you really wanted to know why don't /didn't you research it ?????

    I had to quit reading your hateful post at the point you compare women to gays. Do you realize how offensive that is to a lot of women? Women that were born into a body that has an honorable purpose and is a blessing to humankind?? What purpose do gays have other than to fulfill their own unquenchable lusts for one another? A women wakes up in the morning and says to herself "I am a women and I have a mission to fulfill that is both honorable and fulfilling. What mission does one have who wakes up and says, "I am gay"? You hate our traditional culture so badly and that is a given. It consumes you. Perhaps you would be less consumed if you lived in Germany or Sweden. You feel they do things so much better.

    Here's a good example of the war on Christmas that defies your "other religions with celebration in December" attempt.


    Atheist Display Space Puts Squeeze on Santa Monica Nativity Scenes

    "For many years, 13 local churches and a police officer’s group have each sponsored a Nativity scene – 14 in all.
    However, this season there will be room for only three, plus one Hanukkah display, because other, non-religious groups had more luck in the city's new lottery for display space.
    "The whole remainder of the two blocks was won by newcomers," Jameson said.
    Self-described atheist Damon Vix did not win space, but is allied with the two who claimed the lion's share.
    Vix acknowledges hanging the Freedom from Religion Banner, providing an anti-vandalism shield for a nod to the Winter Solstice, and helping to build the display that puts Christianity in the same realm with Santa Claus and Poseidon.
    "Our point is that these religious displays are offensive,” Vix said."

    we escaped a theocracy, many were Christians, not all, we wanted to make sure that never happened here, thus set up a secular government with religious freedom for all

    There's the old scapegoat, "if Christians do something bad they aren't really Christians" which flies in the face of what Jesus said about everyone being a sinner...

    and that is a Christian precept. Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's. Government does not dictate faith.

    it was actually white Christians that said they were a minority now, they broke it up by race, cause if they said Christians were a minority, it would be a lie, so they spun the truth by saying "white Christians" - it was a scare tactic to make Christians think they were a minority in this country now
