Terror in Brussels, The New Norm for Europe?

That is the biggest problem with religion man. Everybody being harsh and hateful.

It's supposed to be about love, man

I know this one half black guy with long hair and some crazy ideas, but he loved everybody. His name is Jesus and he wouldn't approve of witch trials, stonings, or hatefulness.

He'd say "Hey man, be nice to people"

And that's my Weltanschaung

It would be amusing were it not true. Seriously, it's like reading the script of Borat only it is ACTUALLY happening.

It's Kenya. They are tribalistic there, likely more allegiance to tribal hocus pocus than Christian theology.

on a side note, Catholicism means Universal, Protestant came from the Latin word Protestari which means "To protest". - Difference religions, both agree that Jesus was the Messiah and Gods only son who died on the cross for our sins. But Catholics believe in a high priest (pope) to forgive sins and bless people, almost to a point where they can not go to God directly. Where protestant believes that believers have a unique personal one on one relationship with God. The Pilgrims and Quakers who colonized the new world were protestant. The Catholic church in England was corrupt and tax collections were held in church as well as elections and nobal monoarchist had positons in the church like a board of director type role. ( hence why the US has the "separation of church and state")

The first church in the US was a Baptist church (protestant) also found in new world (Caribbean)
Baptist: Means Babtize is one of the oldest churches, General baptist,1st, 2nd, southern baptist trace there roots to the church reform era during the holy roman empire.One of the earliest churches, since the beginning of the age of Church (Apostle Paul). Baptist church split up during the US Cival war and became 4 different churches. (the church was split on issues from war, slavery,) The first Baptist church in the US was founded by Roger Williams in 1639.

The Lutheran Church is based on the German, Maritn Luther's teaching and is an offbrand of Catholicism. Founed in 1505, his intent was not to start another church but to debate the roman catholic priest's motives and general lack of biblical knowledge. ( the Catholic church back then did not take the bible literally) made up there own interpretations.

Methodist is based on missionairies, John and Charles Wesley, founded in England in 1730's, they were frustrated with the catholic church and the strict rules and standards and established a new church with new ways. Doctrine included allowing women to preach, ordaining ministers without any theology background. Very politically correct, pro gay marriage, liberal and soft on abortion and Pro Slavery. Offbrand of Catholicism. A part of the Great Awakening 1790-184?

Seventh Day Adventist and Ladder Day Saints are NOT Christians! Religious Yes!! Good people Yes! But founded on completely different princables not found in the Bible, they have a different set of standards loosely based on biblical princibles.

A lot of sinful, insane & murderous shit has been done in the name of Christianity. It was WRONG, and they weren't true Christians, NO WHERE did Christ command any of the crap that was done in His name. THATS the difference. Blaming true Christianity for the actions of those who aren't is just some peoples way of making themselves feel better about living in sin, unsaved. For lack of better examples..its like blaming Jack Daniel for alchoholism....S&W for murder...Viagra for rapists...and Ford for auto accidents.
Jesus Christ never commanded anyone to do violence in His name.
And as Moose Knuckle said- holding Christians of today accountable for the SINS of those a long long time ago, its just an easy out for those of you wishing to live outside of Christ, and to be able to do your own thing. Anyone who ever murdered "in the name of Christ" did it not because of Christ commands, but out of their own sin nature. SHOW ME in The New Testament where we are commanded to stone, kill, rape, beat, sodmize, commit pedoephilia, beastiality, torture, assault, and all the whole litany of shit Muslims are commanded or allowed to do for Islam. IVE READ THE KORAN, QURAN or however the hell they wish to pronounce it...it is pure evil. Influenced by Satan himself.
Those who follow..whether or not they have AS YET to act on it, are evil, sick demon worshippers. Someone in this thread said to ask a Muslim if they believe in Jihad, if they say no, they aren't part of the problem. WHAT?! REALLY? You don't know they are TOLD TO LIE by the Koran? Youd believe them just by asking them? That is ****in insanely suicidealy retarded.
Some of yall here, are something else. As noted before, I have nothing in common with many of you other than a passion for firearms, period. Keep believing there are two different kinds of Muslims, radical & peace loving. You FOOL. There are ONLY Muslims, period. May YOUR neck be the next to be hacked off..YOUR body the next to be blown to bits. Youll know then what an idiot you were.

why are new laws always been written would be my answer ?
you were wrong once again

funny you try to pull out 11 people in Africa about some people killing witches ahhahahahah
I am sure it happened that is a backwards country and the area is not only Christian but traditional African Religion
both BBC and CNN and other news sites said nothing about Christians doing this ? and if they could have they would have so IMHO most likely crazy people after crazy people
you can find some radical anti religion blogs blaming Christians for the witch hunts but those same blogs praise the muslims and there peacefulness
so will take the news sites and it very well could be some backwards Christians in those parts doing it ? but they are not Christians if they are doing this as its not the word of Jesus to do this unlike the word of allah is to kill !!!! so once again cough cough !!!!

but when you compare that to the millions that are killed by muslims
and the huge amount of rape to children and forced marriage of young girls not even teens yet by muslims etc..

in the conquest of india muslims murdered some 80-100 million some say way way more
muslims africa slave trade over 100 million
those are just two time periods of specific things

they are still murdering huge numbers on a daily basis

I just got back from a trip to visit my ailing grandmother in California. She is being taken care mostly by my gay, but church going, uncle. He is also a flaming liberal that thinks every dime in military spending should be used to give free college education in the U.S. My college aged daughter asked him why he'd want to defund the only thing keeping Muslims from throwing him off a roof in the near future. He responded, "why, because I'm gay?".. my daughter said.. "no, because you're Christain." We got up and left his house at that point. I am glad my daughter got to see the light because she's been trending towards the more liberal side of things lately.

He is in complete denial that the Muslim faith has no room for his kind, and is willing to believe that he faces much graver danger from U.S. citizens. Unbelievable.

If any of that is true, then they are doing it wrong. They might want to read the New Testament and get current on the whole "kill witches" thing. But as somebody said, this is Kenya and I suspect this is more about tribalism and living as they did 100 years ago. That many Africans haven't joined us in the 20th century (let alone the 21rst century) is not terribly surprising.

What shocks this crap out of me is modern police forces with modern judicial systems that have tasks forces searching for those perpetration "magic crimes" the same way we hunt serial killers and then actually bringing these witches, warlocks and other demon followers to trial for sentencing. It's bizarre.

And it's not a handful of kooks out in the sticks. It's "ground zero" Islamic nations like Saudi and Iran, the literal birthplace of Sunni and Shia Islam. From top to bottom, nearly the entire populations of both countries are insane.

BINGO.

It's sad that this place has become a congregation point for switched-off-types and those who put their heads in the sand and willingly ignore the causes of the conflict of our times.

There are no "Religions of Peace" because the whole point of religion is to clump together large groups of weak minded people and move them to do your bidding- it's a lever.

If these pissed off underclass people didn't have Islam in common to unite behind, they would be ripe for the picking for any other ideological movement.

Wanna be the leader? Just pick the ideology and sell it online. You could start up a European branch of FARC if you wanted... or anything else...

In violent, backward places, people live violent, backward lives.

All that being said- Let's build a wall and put them on the other side.
