Do you think Christians should take a leaf out of the Qur’an and encourage their children to become martyrs?

Question

I asked a question recently explaining the actions of a Muslim cleric in my country who has released a DVD in which he apparently encourages children to die for Allah or something along those lines. One of the answers, obviously a Muslim, spoke of the media in which when Christians denounce other religions, it’s freedom of speech, but when a Muslim does, it’s a hate speech inciting terrorism. Obviously, Christians don’t encourage their children to die for Jesus, so the Muslims comparison is flawed. But as I write this, there are soldiers from Christian countries killing Muslims in their homes.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; END RELIGION BEFORE RELIGION ENDS US.

Answer 1

You know what gets me, the fact that they all basically believe in the same God but they can't agree on the interpretation. No, I don't think children should die because someone thinks this is what God would want.

"One of the answers, obviously a Muslim, spoke of the media in which when Christians denounce other religions, it’s freedom of speech, but when a Muslim does, it’s a hate speech inciting terrorism. Obviously, Christians don’t encourage their children to die for Jesus, so the Muslims comparison is flawed"

That's not true. Watch the movie "J*sus Camp" and tell me it's not about Xtians telling people it's okay to die for G-d. Some favorite quotes of mine:

"THIS MEANS WAR!!!"

"How many people here would be glad to die for J*sus?"

"Cmon kids, we're gonna pray in tongues"

"When I talk to a non-Xtian, I don't know, something isn't right, my soul just kinda feels yucky"

In one part of the movie they write the word "government" on cups and then chant, scream, and have all the kids go up and smash the cups saying that they're going to break the bonds of this non-Xtian country.

Keep in mind these kids are 8-12 years old.

Re: If they're whackos why aren't more Xtians getting concerned, they're the biggest growing trend of Xtianity here in the US, they're getting support from somewhere

Answer 3

Ha! First Anyone can speak. Christians speak truth to plant seeds. Noone I know has called any other religions hateful from their speech. But when you see children with machine guns and bloodlust in their eyes and a Holy Text that says it is okay to kill others not of your religion, you tend to call that hate. You don't have to worry about the muslims being ruthlessly killed, because the retarded liberals passed a law that before a soldier can shoot, they must be shot at. Now for every insurgeon's death, three americans die. The insurgeons have literally placed themselves in the line of fire to destroy our media. Husbands put their wives and children in front of them when the soldiers fire so that the news will catch that. I know hatred. Justice is not hatred. Decapitating Christian teenagers and mailing them to churches is hate. The problem with Muslims is not that they encourage martyrdom, because Christian martyrs will have treasures in heaven, but those who kill innocent people who don't believe what they do.

Answer 4

So do you think that thumping your little chest on Yahoo, yelling at us to "end religion before religion ends us".that you are going to succeed in putting down millions of believers in Christ. That little old you can stand before Christ and say go away. You little grasshopper. Christians do not tell their children to die for anyone, let alone for our God. And our God does not expect our children to die for him.What are you talking about? What Christian country is killing Muslims? The USA? That war was not started to spread Christianity it was to stop terrorism. Don't blame the Christians for that war, how many atheist are fighting in it or Wiccan or whatever else. Give me a break, you people make me sick, you would blame Christians for that pimple on your backside if you think it would fly. Take some responsibility for yourself and stop passing the buck on Christians. The first answer by David K, I would love to know what Church he went to because I have been a Christian for 50 yrs and attended several Churches and was never told that I might have to die for Christianity. That is baloney.

Answer 5

You such a big misunderstanding. If it was a christian country it would do the works of Christ.

So many are in name only.

Can't you see the internet and figure that out?


When innocent people are harmed and we rise up and protect them so many blame religion instead of justice.

And when we teach them to die for Jesus, it isn't to take out other people.

Big differance.

Answer 6

Because groups like Hamas and their extremist exponents are living in the 7th century. They are utterly resistant to modernization, moderation, and pluralism. They have children's programming where a Mickey Mouse replica is urging kids to join the jihadist struggle against the jews. If you're going to urge kids to kill zionists and infidels, get your own damn character. Don't use an icon of American children's programming.

Answer 7

So, are you suggesting that those who hold strong religious beliefs should in some way be terminated? Soldiers from Christian nations, as you put it, are not killing Muslims because they are Muslim. They are doing the job they were sent to do. On the other hand, there are those who hate Christians because of their beliefs. There are those who believe that it is their responsibility "to kill the infidel".

It is not quite right to lump all religions together. Basically, any strongly held belief can be considered a religion. It seems that your religion is to be anti-religious.

Answer 8

This is still a free country, if you don't believe we should have freedom to follow our own religion, I suggest you move to China. I'm guessing you're the last thing they'd want in China, but it would be a great relief to us.

We're not in Iraq over religion, though I'm guessing you're a rabid atheist so will ignore that little fact. I don't like it, but as you stated, radical islam is very into killing infidels, and darlin, you are one, whether you're religious or not.

Lady Suri: Those people that run that Jesus Camp are whacko's not normal christians. In their defense though, when they talk about dying for Jesus, they're talking about the tribulation when christians will be beheaded. They're not talking about going to war, except with protest signs. They are completely whacko though, that's for sure, just not deadly.

Answer 9

Actually, growing up, I was told, as it says in the bible, that I have to be willing to die to help Christianity.

Answer 10

Jesus Does not require of his believer to die for him. And if you did die for him it should be in the denial of Satan. And not by killing Innocent people in the name of God so that your religion can control the thought of mankind.. I do believe that you should read your Koran thru rather then listen to a false cleric. For you might find out that the Koran doesn't require your death either.......................................................................... But in reality you are not really interested in the truth are you..........................
