some of the teachings of Islam’s founder as “evil and inhuman,”By citing an obscure medieval text that characterizes some of the teachings of Islam’s founder as “evil and inhuman,” Benedict inflamed Muslim passions and aggravated fears of a new outbreak of anti-Western protests.
Justin24 said:I never said the other 21% are evil only the 1% which there are 1 % in everything in life that fucks it up for the rest. I don't feel I am evil. I am a very caring person.

Jesus gave this man a choice. Whether it's sugar-coated socialism or flat-out communism, it's an overpowering force of bureaucracy that took everything you worked hard for with the government throwing your behind bars if you didn't like it.melon said:
"As he was setting out on a journey, a man ran up, knelt down before Him, and asked Him, 'Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?' Jesus answered him, 'Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone. You know the commandments: 'You shall not kill; you shall not commit adultery; you shall not steal; you shall not bear false witness; you shall not defraud; honor your father and your mother.'' He replied and said to him, 'Teacher, all of these I have observed from my youth.' Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said to him, 'You are lacking in one thing. Go, sell what you have, and give to (the) poor and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.' At that statement his face fell, and he went away sad, for he had many possessions." - Mark 10:17-22
No, I think it's better off being called "The Bible."

People have always relied on spiritual advisors from the very beginning of mankind. We can take Ancient Greece or Ancient Rome, or any pagan civilization and apply that same principle. There's a reason they went to theological seminary in the first place. It's the way they use their power that could be for better or worse.melon said:
All the more ironic, considering that with all our vernacular Bibles, most people still rely on their ministers to tell them what the Bible says. As much as things change, they stay the same.

Most of them I know are not bad people either.adrball said:Just want to say that most of the Muslims that I know socially and at work are decent people. Just in case someone wants to take my comments out of context.
The opposite of Marxism is free will.A_Wanderer said:The opposite of Marxism would be pure individual self-interest, does that match God.
Only if you believe that a book about entitled "The Anti-Communist Manifesto" would be about corporate socialism and spreading religion by the sword rather than free will.melon said:
And I never said it was. However, passages like these are not fitting for "The Anti-Communist Manifesto."

Whenever someone says something bad about the Pope, he offers his forgiveness. Whenever a public figure says anything bad about Islam, we see death and destruction.Justin24 said:As far as I can see the only way this kind of shit stopping is for the entire Islamic faith to grow out of it's shell because it's more extreme than the conservative Christian right in this country as I see it. As far as I can tell you don't see the Conservative Christian Right Threatening to kill, burn effigies and call for a jihad.
I meant to post this here. But it fits well in that other thread.
I don't think anyone would seriously answer "no" to this question.Justin24 said:Do you think your a good Moral person?

But there is a history of terrible governments doing that. In fairness Marx was on the money about belief [/i]"Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people."[/i]I'm not saying that we have to be complacent and support a terrible government in light of this passage.

But the Bible is out there to expose how the religious zealots lied their way into The Crusades, and other pre-Reformation fallacies, due to corrupt leadership.
