All men were corrupt just to let them live would have just been a corrupt earth with no hope. Also old testament.

Meh, let me rearrange that, there was only 1 family left on earth that followed his rules. So if he just let that family die there would have been a earth only filled with corruption and no hope and proble have been destroyed If he didn't do that. Also that's the old testament and the extermination of corrupt people isn't a basis of Christianity

Today, there's ISIS.

God needs to flood that, right now.

Again, I don't want to look too hard, but there's that part in the bible where God kills two scores of boys for jokingly insulting somebody.

"God needs to flood that, right now."

There's still a lot of Good belivers in the world. And he promised hel never do a world flood again. So no need to prepare for a world flood

If you'rea crazy theorist ( like xyzfhjfssb ) then you should know that there is some ( but little ) real world evidence of the flood as well s several other biblical stories.

Another flood would be counter productive. Too many believers and those of good moral value consistently. Though there is still the belief of the coming Rapture ; closest thing to a flood as people think of it.

I'm Catholic and I will readily say that Christians and Jews did some, eh... stuff. BUT let me remind you, if were talking old testament, then were talking from anywhere between 2-5(6?) THOUSAND years ago. Now, I am sure you will bring up the crusades. The Crusades were Army vs Army. and the leaders of both sides were relatively Honorable, Saladin and Richard the Lionheart represented Islam and Catholicism well. That was a war for land, Israel to be exact, and the sacking of Constantinople. Whats happening today is Barbary, its an army vs civilians and its atrocious, crucifying babies? and children being shot? that's monstrous and if Saladin and his army was alive today, they would help to destroy ISIS. The nature of war is of course, brutal, and I'm sure during the crusades atrocities happened on both sides. These men have no honor, and I am offended Obama said what he did ad the prayer breakfast about it.

I'm a bit concerned about Jordan putting Jihadist's to death without a proper public trial and "wiping IS out" isn't really going to solve anything, but make us as bad as them. Admittedly these men are cherry picking bits and pieces out of the Koran and using it as an excuse to commit atrocities, most likely because they enjoy being in power regardless of the costs, but not because Allah told them to. Without the Koran they would find another reason or maybe just do it because they can.

Also a lot of people here, including some of the Christian posters, are forgetting that the Old Testament is part of Judaism and the New Testament is made up of the Gospels, letters of Paul et al, concerning the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. Christians use the Old Testament as a guideline and historical reference, but are bound by the teachings of Christ, not the laws and traditions of the Jewish people.

Anti-homosexuality is everywhere in society and doesn't permeate strictly in religious communities, Lawlz. Blaming Christianity, or religion, or faith for the misgivings in your life is a little whiny and dodging the main problem, which is you. You are your worst enemy. You spend too much time concerned with how terrible your life is going and too little making something of yourself. Technically by sitting here and typing this out I'm guilty of the same thing, in another sense.

We can sit here and debate the finer points of the religion of your choice, there's always going to be a point in which someone says "I have a much better idea of how morality works and what is fair, so this religion is clearly backward and evil." Well, that's not exactly what you're saying, but in all your wisdom (of >20 years) and the sketchy internet content you've exposed yourself to, you should really tread carefully when it comes to the writings of men who have dedicated their entire lives to meditation, prayer, soul searching and suffering in order to come closer to understanding God and sharing that with the rest of us.

Loads of people are forgetting -

These weren't prisoners, these were hostages. An eye for an eye.

Religion is peaceful, but the major ones understood literally are violent.

"An eye for an eye" is hardly a religious concept though. Revenge is pretty much human nature. As is violence to an extent.

None of the major religions say, "Thou shall go forth and slaughter people." It's merely followers who misinterpret things (Often intentionally because they need an excuse for whatever they're doing) and go with that.

Well Muzlumige does allow the killing of non belivers

"eye for an eye" is much older than Christianity or any religions followed today, your going all the way back to Hammurabi. Now. Jihadists deserve to be put to death. thats it. Death. They want to kill innocents, they don't deserve anything but death. This is not America this is Jordan, we are not in a position to tell them what to do. They stepped up and are taking the lead in the coalition now, the US hasn't done a whole lot, say they've made the most airstrikes and your right. But they pick and choose what they hit. The Jordanians are doing what we should be, carpet bombing IS stronghold areas, collateral is to expected but this is war, and if your walking around next to the ISIS strongholds, then you may as well be one of them, those bastards crucify children.

Ad hominem

If religon means the belief in God, lucid, then you are simply proving my point

Edited 2/9/2015 01:18:37

Lawlz, you're one to talk about Ad hominem. I believe it was you who made a post earlier that said nothing but "You're an insensitive cunt"

Also Dutch's point was valid, not really Ad hominem. It's pretty much what I've been trying to say. You can't demonize a gigantic group because a small amount of said group have given you problems in life.

"You're an insensitive cunt"

After already getting off topic about my personal life.

Also Dutch's point was valid, not really Ad hominem

or the misgivings in your life is a little whiny
You are your worst enemy.
You spend too much time
your life

Ad fucking hominem, arguing me instead of my point.

Seems to be arguing a point to me.

Faith is the biggest hurdle when it comes to lgbt rights, but nowhere did I say it was the only one.

Lgbt?

LGBT stands for Lesbian/Gay/Bi/Transexuals

Hold on for a second.

*lols*
