Why do Christians just pick women randomly off the streets and stone them to death in the center of the shopping mall merely on the suspicion of pre-marital sex?
Why do you tolerate these goons who go around looking for women to stone?

What century and country are you talking about?
I have never seen this done or heard of it being done in the last three centuries (at least in the "western" world).
You're either sick or have very bad information.

I beg your pardon?
Christians have never done this. Ever. The closest thing that that resembles is the adulterous (that is, having extra-marital sex) woman who was going to be stoned by Jews for having the affair... But Jesus stopped them.
Jesus is the model for Christians' beliefs. If Jesus said, "Let the one without sin be the first to cast the stone", and since He, being without sin, did not cast the first stone, we have no right to stone anyone either.
...
You are a credit to your religion, believing in a lie, or making one up just to stir up trouble. Now, I would suggest before slandering us, you at least learn some facts about us. At least slandering us with half-understood facts is more amusing to refute than whole-hearted lies.
Otherwise, you appear to us just as foolish as the Pharisees who proclaimed Jesus was Baalzebub.

I don't know of any Christian women ever being stoned for this, now or in the past. What are you talking about?

I don't think it has happened in America in a couple hundred years. Still happens in other countrys. There were some witch burnings a few weeks ago in some other country. That does not make big news though. The reason in a nut shell. Bible Myths tell us. Satan (Prometheus) defied the god in charge and gave mankind knowledge, sex/fire/reproduction, and snakes and women got a bad rap for it. Just like in greek myths, Zesus/jehovah is a jealous petty god and makes mankind pay for knowledge every chance he gets. Hmm, just like in greek myth, bible myth has satan as the true good guy trying to help mankind against the cruel gods...

Not in this century and certainly not in America. It used to be that sex was reserved just for the marriage bed. A woman had to be virtuous for her husband. And before you rag on Christians, that was a tradition described in the bible, a law made by the Jews. It's old and now out of date. As far as I know, no civilized land has stoned a woman for sex. Uncivilized places, maybe. But no place that is civilized.

Have you ever seen that happen to a Christian woman?? Don't think so...you read all that stuff in the Old Testament. Christians pay more attention to the New Testament!! Jesus is our Leader!! So I think you need to review your question!!

I've heard of alot of them getting stoned at the mall and then having premarital sex... but I think you're taking the word 'stoned' a bit too literally....

I haven't seen this. It was in the Old Testament that this happened. Jesus didn't stone to death the woman caught in the act of adultery, nor did anyone else.

As far as I know Christians have never believed in stoning...Christ taught grace although in the United States we do have capital punishment which tends to be the same thing it tends to be administered in murder cases. But that isn't the church but the government that does these things. Christ taught let he without sin cast the first stone we believe that he offered himself as sacrifice for all who accept it as atonement for sin and that all have sinned and that is the reason for Christ who is God in the flesh to come to the world and overcome sin and to die as atonement for those who accept it.

Where does this occur? I've never heard of this happening anytime recently. I've heard of this happening to Muslim women, but not to Christian women. And I've never seen it done at a shopping mall.
I hope this isn't a joke, because it isn't something you should joke about. It's actually quite an unfortunate situation.
