The religious discussion thread

[Archangel]

This thread was created to bring a local new story to light, which can be viewed below:

JACKSON, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio school district decided Tuesday night to keep a portrait of Jesus hanging in the school where it's been 65 years, denying a federal lawsuit's claim the portrait's display unconstitutionally promotes religion in a public school.

The Jackson City Schools board offered a constitutional justification of its own in voting 4-0 to keep the portrait up in its middle school, saying it must protect students' free speech rights. The vote drew cheers and applause from the dozens of people gathered in the elementary school gymnasium.

I posted his here @ NP to see what ppl had to say on the issue. As it turns out, this sparked many debates. I've considered closing this thread but after multiple suggestions, I decided to keep it open. Feel free to join in the topics but per forum rules, please refrain from obscene, threatening, rude, or insulting posts.

I am saying that again.
You are scary and you are blind.
You simply don't have arguments so you try to make some noise to avoid addressing anything, you never reply to any question and you never explain your assumptions or views; many others here pointed that out but, in your style, you keep ignoring that too.

In my previous post I asked you questions and pointed out many aspect of the organization you are affiliated to

You are spreading hatred and separation. One day people like you will understand the difference between Muslims and terrorist.
There are over a billion of Muslims in the world and only a few thousands are affiliated to al qaeda ( which btw was created by Americans..) and/or are extremists.
Oh..wait...wasn't that guy who bombed Oslo a Christian?
Wait..didn't Christians burn over 6 Million people in the history of the effing " holy " ( my behind )" inquisition?
Wait ..wait..didn't Christians go to " evangelize " meaning killing people who didn't have the same opinion for centuries?
Wait..why don't women have the same rights in the Christian religion? Why is Catholic Church covering all those priests who are pedophiles? Why is the Vatican the owner of one of the greatest and most powerful banks in the world? ( also very much connected with the Rothschild family ). Why does the Vatican own thousands of the most valuable buildings in Italy they don't pay a effing dime in taxes and still ask you to donate to the poor? Why don't they sell their assets? I thought that the message of Jesus was to be poor....

have you informed yourself enough to notice that the bible is a copy and paste of many other books and the life of Jesus too? Have you informed yourself enough to know that other people in history did what Jesus did?..no..wait...wasn't he supposed to be the only son of God?...hhhmmmmmm....

You let this organization control your mind and rule your life and yet you go around judging other people's opinion and thoughts.
What's that saying?......he who is without sin cast the first stone

but you haven't addressed any. Yes sure, in my understanding women are not equally treated in Islam as much as Catholicism. They are not equally treated in other religions too.
You are the one here not seeing that about Catholicism while I do.

So you come to this thread and insult the majority of the population in the world,

I haven't insulted anyone. I have shared my view about how discriminating and separating religions are. Actually you are the ONE offending and calling everyone else names : whether they are Muslims, Atheist or just people.

You are a fundamentalist in case you haven't noticed that.

And I asked for the moderators to give a look not because I am a sooky baby but because your views are obviously racist, discriminatory, not constructive and only contribute to foment hatred and anger.
You are certainly entitled your opinions as everyone else is but comments like yours are removed on a daily basis from every major social media because they are clearly offensive, derogatory, defamatory beside being ignorant, sided and non factual.

photoonmymind- As for your replies, well, they were singularly wrong, so I will just point you back to my previous post. This is the break room, as in taking a break from domaining.

they were singularly wrong,

what exactly?

So in theory I'm entitled to my opinions, but in fact my opinions should NOT be allowed to be published, at least according to you and all the PC Pussies. So much for freedom of speech.

This cartoon depicts what Islam and a little dictator like yourself, are all about.

Me... I hold the pencil, which in case you don't know, means freedom of speech

 

[NameOmnia]

PC Pussies

Please let Fxcebook, Txitter, forums etc what you think about them

should NOT be allowed to be published

Can you understand English? What I said is that they are removed on a daily basis by major websites.
Interesting how you keep thinking there is something WRONG with those who remove posts like yours instead of counting up to ten before writing them.

And btw you still refuse to address any point by increasing the volume of your meme noise.

"what Islam and a little dictator like yourself" and when did, his majesty, decide I am a Muslim?
Wasn't I an Atheist according to one of your previous " I know everything I know all the answers " post?

I don't know if you realize how much of an idiot you are endeavouring to make yourself look like. Someone else said this here before me but I am sure you have ignored it by posting one of your meme after that,

Also, are you going to address any of the question I asked you? Are you going to confute any of the point I made? Just let me know otherwise I will consider the case closed.

 

[NameOmnia]

wow....what a gentleman....I wonder why you can't address any of them..no wait...I know why.

You are an embarrassment for Christians and for humanity.

To sustain the belief that there is no God, atheism has to demonstrate infinite knowledge, which is tantamount to saying, "I have infinite knowledge that there is no being in existence with infinite knowledge" --Ravi Zacharias

photo, so, you are against free speech? That's swell.

First of all don't you dare putting words in my mouth I have never said.
Manipulating and distorting what others say is the only way you have for trying to defend your indefensible positions. It's pretty low but not surprising.
Second I have never said I am an atheist. You and your friend did, not me.

 

[RogueWriter]

Well, you said that religions are a plague on the world. So, either you are insane, in that you are voluntarily participating in a religion that you believe to be harmful to both you and the rest of the world, or you are an atheist. I was giving you the benefit of the doubt.

Nonsense. Atheism is the absence of belief in deities. You don't need infinite knowledge to not believe in the existence of something for which no evidence exists. If what this guy is saying was true, we'd all be forced to believe in every mythology.

You closed minded religious people who think someone has to be religious to believe in god. Like religions patented it or they have the monopoly...

Please stop wasting your time by talking this sensitive topic! political and religion topic will only sow discord among us and should be banned.

I'm a muslim and I'm proud to be, please don't think that all of muslims are extremists or terrorists, what happening in middle-east is all about politics and OIL.

@Eric_Lyon where are you? this is a domaining forums not religion forums, does it?

To sustain the belief that there is only one true God that favors a particular religion, members of each religion have to demonstrate infinite knowledge, which is tantamount to saying, "We have infinite knowledge that there is a single omniscient God in existence who favors our religion over all others."

Thank you for that quote. It's excellent.

If you want to know what the terrorists goals are, and Anglican priest is an odd person to quote. I'm sure Rod Bower is a swell priest, but how does he happen to know what the terrorists' goals are? Why not quote a terrorist, at least?

I don't think that in this case Rob Bower is terribly concerned about the specific political goals of any terrorist. It seems to me that what he's addressing are the broader goals of terrorism, which, as the word implies, is a tool for effectuating change through fear. What he's pointing out is that when we allow our fear to make us hate, that we've then allowed ourselves to be changed by terrorists and have our lives impacted by them which is in effect a part of every terrorist's goals.

I'm not speaking in favor of hate - I'm very much against it, as any reasonably well adjusted person is. It's not hate to categorize where the threat is coming from.
Marginalizing and silencing anyone who points out what everybody is thinking is what will certainly create extremism. Some people are quick to label anything that upsets the official party line as "hate speech." It's not.

Again, nobody can speak for the terrorists "broader goals." Not even single terrorists. They don'll all have the same motivations - they are not a unit. Radical Islam provides a convenient cover for many of them, but their original motivations are often something more pedestrian - disaffection with society, mother-complexes, personal problems that they need to find a blame for.

If you are worried about terrorists impacting your lives. Well, if you live in the USA, you're already there. Look at all the invasive new laws and tactics the government is using. Talk of "hate" is just sanctimonious pablum. Get back to me when the mobs are out burning down mosques and the worshippers in them. That's hate.

The broader goals are implicit in the name. Terrorists terrorize. That's true by definition.

Nowadays, terrorist groups like ISIS are misrepresenting the Islam and Muslims. Muslims are not terrorist. They are just like others. But we all know radical minds are everywhere. Islam respects to all religions. Christian, Jew, Catholic, etc. Do not trust media. Sometimes, media is big liar.
