But...I wouldn't mind seeing these morons from Westboro have the **** beat out of them every time they pull this sort of crap, and *especially* when they pull it at the funeral of a soldier killed in action. -- I'll believe corporations are people when Texas executes one. They're losers Harry. They're the "Christian" Taliban. Tim, the trouble is, because Harry is so quick to label people and put them in a very narrow slot, he'll use those idiots as an example of all Christianity. I noticed that several here do as well. That's why I said they're the taliban of Christianity. But you're right, people look at the Westboro's and their radical lunacies, and that's how they wish to brand ALL Christians. It's really kinda sad that some people wish to be so narrow minded as to judge all by looking at the antics of a few misaligned and self- rightous klutzes. But the funny thing is that Christianity has been mocked for around 2000 years, and it's still standing well. So... I look at it like this. If people want to curse the good Christians, then that really doesn't make them any different than the Westboro's does it? As a percentage of humanity, Christianity is on the rocks and shrinking. Oh no, and far from it. I said as a percentage. Take China and Africa muslim and non christian growth over the last 100 years. -- Eat the rich, screw the companies and wonder why there are no jobs. But we have big huge government we can't afford... -- Obama and the lefty fleabagger attitude interesting that you should mention China. That's one country where Christianity is flourishing and growing , not to mention S. Korea. Smoking too much religious crack? China is only 3 or 4% Christian, predominantly Buddhist and government is atheist without religious preference. And in fact, no all seeing eye makes China more separation between church and state than the USA. -- we weren't talking about Buddhism, Islam etc. We were talking about Christianity weren't we? http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisf.../28/china-futu... "Today, estimates of Christians range between 40 million and 100 million." "During this period, house churches boomed in popularity. As the New York Times correspondent Nicholas Kristof noted, initially popular among the peasantry, Christianity's reach has extended towards the cities and the wealthy and intellectual Chinese over the last decade. The reasons for this boom are twofold. The first is that the Chinese have found Christianity to be a stabilising belief system amid a dramatically changing socioeconomic landscape, which had its previous religious traditions crushed by Maoism and its values questioned after Tiananmen Square. And, secondly, with its obvious western heritage, the rise of Christianity may be linked to a subconscious attack on the norms and values espoused by the PRC � rather like South Korea in the 1980s." Granted, even 100 mil, is a small percentage considering there's well over a billion people in China, but it's a long step of growth since the 70's especially in a country run by a religion supervised government 3 to 4% of 1.3 billion people is at most 52 million. And growth claims, highly questionable. Fastest growing religion in USA if you include atheists? Atheists. If you exclude atheists, then it goes to Buddhism. Go figure. Sort of follows black supremacy claims of being the first minority, blacks are 3rd if you include Spanish decent. Just a lot of bull**** to keep whining people happy. But then facts and reality, no fleabaggers want to hear that. Some idiots feelings might be hurt. Chinese government is officially atheist. You need to read better material. Check my stats on CIA Wold Fact Book, ship your voodoo religious sermon sites. -- "Check my stats on CIA Wold Fact Book, ship your voodoo religious sermon sites." huh? Like I said, condescending asshole.. Let it go. Stay focused on Krause. |
