leviticus,25 verses 44-55
2007-05-23 05:48:53 · update #1
All Christians ?....No
The Falwell-Robertson political Christians trying to use their influence within the Republican Party to speed up the "end times".....Yes
Those people are insanely dangerous.
What I find most disturbing is their followers. There are hundreds of quotes readily available, minimal research, that show with crystal clarity that Robertson and Falwell represent the hate wing of Christianity.... racist, intolerant manipulators...not even close to being decent people......It does make me wonder about their followers...blind or evil

You quote the Old Testiment to attack those who follow the New Testiment? And no, I don't agree with you. While there are some, called the Christian right, or evangelists who do have some heavy handed techniques today as did the Catholic Church in the past I don't think Christianity in general is dangerous to anyone. Quite the opposite.

I ask myself that question each and every day. The answer is no. The problem is that a vocal minority of Mayberry Machiavellis have hijacked and used and abused God's good name for their own social agenda which has little if anything to do with God and or Jesus.
The priorities of the religious right are in fact more cultural than religious. Take this lobby’s strong support of capital punishment. It received supporting arguments from religion, but it is grounded in patterns of social control that includes racist lynching and vigilantism. It is deeply cultural, coming from a long tradition of southern militarism and frontier justice.
The religious right, to the extent that it is political, is merely a creature of the political right itself rather than a movement that gave rise to the right. As an appendage and supplicant, it has been used and abused by the political right wing in its quest for power. For all the ballyhoo over its alleged power, most evident in Pat Robertson’s Christian Coalition or Jerry Falwell’s earlier Moral Majority, such campaigns have been confined to those issues on which it already finds consensus with the larger secular conservative movement, such as its opposition to gay rights.
Christianity has become a private concern, a rescue squad to revive those crippled in free enterprise combat. It has taken on the functions of therapy and self-help, preaching its own version of self-centeredness that leaves political matters such as “justice” far behind. Religion hasn’t been booted out of the public arena by mean-spirited secularists; it has largely quit going out in public to bring the full message of its heritage.

I would agree that many sects of the so-called christian faith are dangerous. Those who embrace conservative beliefs and act upon them in hypocritical ways poison their own lives as well as condemn themselves in the eyes of their brethren.
Not all christians are as poisonous as the republicans who claim their beliefs falsely. And christianity can be a very positive and uplifting faith to follow, as long as you keep your eyes open.

No. And our US enemy is currently radical Islam. Get with the American thing.
I would normally tell you to take your religious questions to R & S. But in this case, I'll bite.
Read the rest of Leviticus. The part about putting no other Gods before the One. The part about bearing false witness. The part about not committing adultery. Coveting. Then we can talk. Otherwise, this is politics, dude, and not church.

No. the fact that Christians hold people accountable for their actions, that they believe in a power higher than man, is not evidence that they want to murder you, and enslave you.

That is a very broad statement. Care to give some examples of who, what, where, when, and why.

Christians believe in life, love and responsibility.
Sometimes the loving and responsible thing to do is take action to reduce the influences of EVIL in the world.
Or do you believe EVIL should be allowed to prosper?
