DO they not understand the logical fallacies of this ignorant statement?

It seems like many Christians on this site have not been reading their bibles, what with all the hate they send out?
So... my fellow Christians, do you really think that insulting Islam, being vaguely racist/xenophobic is the way of Christ?
Remember:
Matthew 22:35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Or do you think Jesus was off-base with saying this and you, perhaps, know better?

They keep saying the christians slaughtered during the crusades and they did. But the clear winners were the muslims.
Who killed 10 to one over the Christians.
then it was said they did take overs in Asia and Africa.
Read the population chart.
there is more muslim or Islamic takeovers in Asia and Africa.
There is only a handlful of Christians in these countries.
Someone is not getting the facts straight.
I am definitely not in defense of Christians.
But kids are reading these and getting mis information.
Muslims won the crusades and had clear victories.
As they did in the other countries.
there is only a handful of Christians in these countries.
How many people that you no know's this? Everyone keeps saying the Christians faught and won the crusades and history proves other wise. It was a total defeat for the Christians with greater lose of life than the muslims? Where is your information to prove other wise?

The 6 would-be suicide bombers currently on trial in London were only caught because their explosives didn't detonate. It is all caught on CCTV (one man with a rucksack on his back actually stands next to a woman and child and attempts to detonate).

What do you think would be a fitting punishment for these disgusting barbaric monsters, and anyone who assited them?

The two most general responses will usually be:

Atheist and Scientist

1.) There is no known way to measure or observe a supreme being/creator/God.

Please logically explain why if by scientific method it's not provable He doesn't exist?

Believers (All religions)

2.) Because it's in the bible, quran or similar holy book.

This is a circular reference, therefore not acceptable, because these books are the inspired word of God.

Please provide evidence to support your belief.

Thanks for your answers. :)

I was reading an answer where somebody thanked God for saving him from dying in a plane crash. That made me wonder...

A plane crash occurred. 540 people died, 17 survived.

Did God save 17 people? Did He save 17 people _and_ kill 540? Didn't he play any role in this? Did God save 17, and Satan killed 540? 540 people probably had the wrong religion?

In short: how does God work in playing a part in our daily lives?

I mean, since so many devoted and pious Christians smoke and drink alcohol (which means that God approves of these addictions), what's wrong with some God-approved dope or weed?

Let us remember that even Jesus Christ made wine (which turned him into a sort of basement-made moonshine pusher, not approved by the ATF). So what's wrong with some home-grown hemp or weed?

Did jesus really say this:
16. Jesus said, "Perhaps people think that I have come to cast peace
upon the world. They do not know that I have come to cast conflicts
upon the earth: fire, sword, war.

For there will be five in a house: there'll be three against two and
two against three, father against son and son against father, and they
will stand alone."

For this reason I say, if the owners of a house know that a thief is
coming, they will be on guard before the thief arrives and will not
let the thief break into their house (their domain) and steal their
possessions.

As for you, then, be on guard against the world. Prepare yourselves
with great strength, so the robbers can't find a way to get to you,
for the trouble you expect will come

30. Jesus said, "Where there are three deities, they are divine. Where
there are two or one, I am with that one."

33. Jesus said, "What you will hear in your ear, in the other ear
proclaim from your rooftops.

talk badly about Catholics when saying they don't know Jesus or profess the name of Jesus enough and yet when in conversation with a Catholic all the Protestant ever does is belittle the Catholic's faith, talk ill of his/her body of Christ the Church and speak little of Jesus Christ themselves

AND you can have free will with a predisposition to sin, then why can't you have free will with a predisposition to good? Wouldn't that lessen the evil while still maintaining free will?

My friends Holly and Jim met each other a few years ago. They fell in love, something that happens a lot after a few dates. They continued dating and waited nicely with having sex until they were married.

Every Sunday they go to church and they worship their God. For some reason God didn't give them any children. But they traveled to an Ethiopian orphanage to adopt two orphans.

Jim works as a doctor in a well-respected hospital, Holly is a volunteer for Unicef. Their kids are some of the happiest kids I've ever seen.

Weirdly enough, on this forum I always read that according to some old book they will end up in hell. Anybody can tell me why? Is it really simply because both Holly and Jim are male? Sounds so silly to me...

What do you do when that happens? Do you think "That can't be right. Something must be wrong with that."?
