Aha, but only Muslims have to condemn extremists - it's perfectly fine for everyone else to join/fund/support as many terrorist organisations as they like, cause they're on 'our' side - or at least the side of the government.
Oh how bigoted we are.

I'm not a Christian, I disagree with the guy, but don't see any point in responding, and I'm sure many Christians felt that way too. Someone like that doesn't listen. In fact, you did not even answer him. All you did was use the space to point out that Christians were not condemning him. Even though, there WERE Christians on there against him. But anyway, why didn't you take the time to condemn him?
Ok, there. I went and responded. Not that it will do any good.

Actually most Christians do! Jesus stated here what is essential to all of Christianity ... It is simply. "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments." (Matthew 22:37-40) Therefore how can bigots truly call themselves Christian when the command is to love one another?

With venomous, loud-mouth rhetoric as that, other so-called Christians are too scared to criticize and become passive, whether they agree or not. The best way to handle such folks as "soldier of god" is to totally ignore them. Don't give them credence by answering. Unless, of course, the questions are done strictly for shock and humor.

I'm a Christian and I try not to answer questions that are too stupid for my time if you really must know. I don't stand up and condemn anyone on this forum and I don't make an exception for trolls posing as Christians to stir up dissension. lol

Well, actually, this is not an entirely bad question. Jesus saw the hypocritical Pharisees of his day and took several occasions to expose their hypocrisy. He really let them have it in Matthew chapter 23!
I understand where you're coming from and perhaps I'm not getting the whole meaning of the original question, but there really are people who say and do things supposedly in the name of God and Christ, but because of their hypocrisy, end up bringing reproach on them instead.

Obviously he is NOT a christian. I immediately read that and that was my first thought- He will be judged. But he is not following Christ's example. So yes we who are christians should tell him that is not the right way- if he is proclaiming he knows the Lord. When I see things like this- it just saddens me- and it just makes christianity look bad- which is exactly what Satan wants....So continue sharing the word of God in love! And remember:
Romans 12:19
Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord.

your answer to that Q:
' this is an example of your average christian. i dont see 60 answers from christians condemning this person, so you all must agree'
why are you blaming the christians for what that guy said? and Christians don't have the power to condemn this person anyways. good job generalizing all christians by one lunatic

I'm a Christian and I do condemn what he says because it's hateful...and he's probably a troll out looking for attention. Most Christians like myself ignore him for a reason....he just wants attention.
