How has the cartoon "offended" my faith?
How about a teddy bear?

No. Rioting and murder, like blasphemy, are offenses against God, and forbidden to Christians.
Two wrongs never make a right.
You may not do evil, not even with so-called "good" motives.

No, you shouldn't. Faithful people in their religions should ignore such silliness if there are cartoons that people would say 'insult' or 'offend' a religion. As for a teddy bear, or any other thing, in Islam, it could be named anything, including the name of Muhammad. People who riot; murder, and protest because of such ridicilious events are, with all due respect, ignorant and stupid.

No of course not. You, as a faithful Christian, aren't a member of the religion of peace, so you have no business rioting and murdering when someone jokingly gives a teddy bear a blasphemous name.

That is not Christ-like behavior; as Christians, we are to behave as Jesus would in every circumstance. He said to love everybody & turn the other cheek; He wouldn't be guilty of such a ridiculous over-reaction to an innocent incident such as the name of a certain teddy bear.

precisely how are atheists dogmatic? Do you even comprehend what the word ability? Atheist have not have been given any dogma: "gadget of innovations or tenets, as of a church," "a non secular doctrine that's proclaimed as real without evidence," "A coaching or set of teachings laid down by using a non secular team, frequently as area of the essential ideals of the gang." Atheists might overlook approximately theists if there have been no longer some who attempt to stress anybody else to stay by using their regulations. faith has been the reason of misery, torture, dying, and so on. for its entire historic previous. there is not any longer something solid that comes from faith which does no longer exist without faith, yet there is a lot that's undesirable approximately faith -- that dogma situation -- that does no longer exist without faith.

No, you wouldn't because your faith is reasonable.
But you know that there are some people out there who call themselves Christians, who actually think they are the ONLY ones who are Christians, who are offended by any representation of God or Jesus at all.
So radicals and extremists exist in both Islam and Christianity.

.NO, NO, NO, We should not kill anyone for not agreeing with our line of faith. Killing is not God's way, unless we are defending our life, family or country. We should pray for those that offend us.
Unfortunately the few Agnostics of this nation are calling the shots for those of us who believe in GOD,JESUS, and THE HOLY SPIRIT, Politics at its worse.

Grr! Burn the Embassy!!!
Nah. Christian jihad is tutting and muttering under your breath as you pass the infidel's fair trade jam stall. After you've bought some, of course. That'd just be cruel.
itikalala: Would you kill him riotously? If so you're no better! : )

We read in God's Holy Law-Book the Bible in Ephesians 6:10-12 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
In Exodus 20:4-5 we read: Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me.

It's been done in the past for less than a teddy bear.
