Church to burn Koran on 9/11

Fighting hate with hate. Talk about a really stupid proposition. It's a shame that they get this much press.

[QUOTE="SquatsAreAwesom"]

[QUOTE="o0squishy0o"] Yes it would. Would it mean I should punch you in the face? Should it mean I should kill you? No. If religion is all about finding god and searching for forgiveness why are there so many religious wars? why do we have killing themselves for their religion? You call it fascist why? Just because I do not accept religion I am in the wrong? Why should I make allowances for it? Could we not apply that drug users think that taking cocaine is fine yet for people to see that as WRONG that is a fascist view as well?

The point is, you're suggesting that it is foolish that people get offended, but quite clearly you yourself agree that there are situations in which you too would get in such a state.

The only thing is, you're being quite the fascist when you define what someone should and should not be offended about. Whether or not someone has the right to retaliate is an entirely different discussion.

[QUOTE="o0squishy0o"]Well I am not saying the world would be all peaches and cream if it was pushed out of society. I am simply saying that religion in power is a more dangerous thing since its based of a very very very old idea. SquatsAreAwesom

Christianity is not fighting over differences in beliefs. So that would be pointless.LJS9502_basic

[QUOTE="SquatsAreAwesom"] The ideas of which Western Culture is based on is older then the religion you're attempting to demonize. Are you suggesting we should dismantle our own society?o0squishy0o

Now you're just back pedaling and changing the course of the discussion. Do you take back your statement?

Of course it's their freedom of speech to burn the Qu'ran. Just as it's eveyone else's freedom of speech to talked about how stupid of an idea it is.

Yes, quite clearly I don't understand the discussion I'm having with someone, but the person who jumps in half way to make a totally off-base reply does. LJ you're classic bro. You keep on keeping on with your defense of Christianity and your opportunistic replies to defend the stance of those who would love to see you go next. At the very least have the decency to read our back and forth instead of interjecting random thoughts into a conversation that isn't yours. It's just plain rude.SquatsAreAwesom

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] One thing about this thread is that when one talks of say burning a bible or making disrespectful art against Christianity....most of the posts are that it's freedom of speech...which I agree with. Why is different when it's a Koran or the Islam religion?LJS9502_basic

Not sure if serious.

This'll be interesting to see the Islamic reaction, rioting and burning of the Stars and Stripes no doubt. They're as bad as each other.mikegtfc

just because it's freedom of speech, it doesn't make it ok. Do you think it's ok for Christian extremists to protest someone's funeral, because the law says it's freedom of speech?

The problem is, LJ has a chronic issue with doing just thing. Swooping in and making absolutely irrelevant and tangent statements, while framing your words in an entirely different light. This isn't the first time hes done this with me, it's quite consistent.

[QUOTE="iowastate"][QUOTE="SquatsAreAwesom"] Please, next time if you aren't following the conversation, don't interject. You're not even half sure of what both of us we were discussing. Your entire point was irrelevant to begin with.Animatronic64

[QUOTE="Animatronic64"][QUOTE="iowastate"] He does not have to be following your conversation to be on topic, relevant, or to make a valid point in this thread. I was not aware of your convo at all and I had made a couple of points earlier on. So what? it is a thread for any and all to contribute and nobody had to approve.LJS9502_basic

I was on topic to what point I wanted to make about the post I quoted. And if one cannot respond the post...that is fine. But ad hominem attacks are not the way to persuade someone to one's side though they seem to occur with regularity.LJS9502_basic

Expecting me to not call you out for such behavoir is nothing short of amusing.

Hell, perhaps I may have been a bit aggressive in my tone, but this isn't the first time you've done this. I quite honestly find myself believing you do these things on purpose seeing as though you're the only one who engages in this kind of behavoir on OT. I'm just being straight up anout it.

I feel quite content in responding actually, perhaps not with the content that you expect.

[QUOTE="iowastate"]

Jesus would appreciate this.

I really dislike the Buddy Christ and think it is disrespectful.

but then I never understod the appeal of George Carlin either.

anyone can curse and that was the majority of his humour.

as far as Christianity is concerned this is on a par with those Mohammed cartoons that raised such a fuss.

but then Christians have never started a war over a minor insult.

A mockery? Okay, maybe Raptor Jesus is a mockery, but Buddy Christ sure as hell isn't. Animatronic64
