The Religion Thread (I hate you guys)

[Ksandra]

I have to agree. I mean, I think it's important to separate yourself from the groups, so mad props to those speaking out. But separating yourself is not going to help defeat ISIS, just help defeat islamicphobia.

It's like the WBC. Most people are able to recognize those idiots are in a box of their own because Christians constantly show they aren't like that. But that doesn't mean we Christians can do jack all to stop the WBC from existing.

[Churchill]

You're actually incorrect.

What happens and what non-ISIS bros can do is go to the mosque (which that kid prolly doesn't do) and when niggas is tryna jihad they get reported to the white man so we can crusade.

A better example would be if the WBC wasn't a church but was a millions of person strong religious movement that had members across the western world and supporters of all kinds - when you go to pray to spaghetti and eat his body each sunday if people were talking about how spaghetti was actually a great general who wanted to kill non spaghettis and you did nothing because non spaghettis dont matter to you then you'd be a muslim.

Again, looking at this problem through a lense you are familiar with does a disservice to the actual issue.

But sure, that kid who smokes, drinks, fucks, and whose sisters don't wear a hijab prolly can't do shit, you're right.

That tweet shouldn't be taken for anything more than a pretty good joke

He biases the reader by linking
"we (muslims) stop isis"
to
"expect me to stop isis"

Can't make a point when it rests on me = we. Let alone that when people say, 'muslims are the only ones that can stop this' they mean religious muslims who take it seriously. Which is a good couple hundred million

idk if it was on BG that someone posted this but this should be at least a bit eye opening towards people who think "nah it's not all muslims"

I've seen that video floating around before and something about it seems off to me. Like it's two videos spliced together to create a propaganda piece or something. There's just something about the contrast in atmosphere between the speaker and the audience that just doesn't quite match up. The shit he's saying is still pretty fucked though.

I agree with you, that + the ambient music thrown in makes it suspect

but it's the best visual representation of "extreme muslims want to cut your head off and moderate muslims want them to cut your head off" i've seen and remembered enough key words to find it quickly. Without being outright propaganda by splicing in unrelated things from real hate rallies. Because I've seen those, even on here. Someone who would want to could look into it better, in the description it's from some muslim peace conference in norway oct 2013

We shouldn't be praising moderate muslims like we would non-WBC christians. The WBC church is more like the moderate muslims. The isn't any organized group of christians killing people because god told them to afaik

Stoning people- making the world a better place, one potential std carrier at a time

[Thunder]

Because it was reddit I wasn't sure who was serious

Highlights:

A Muslim has to believe in every single verse of the Quran.

my fav:

All these laws are for our own good, and when we disobey them without proper punishment, look at what happens.

..yes, look at what happens

This sort of delusional belief system of "this is how the world SHOULD work" vs "how the world actually works" I remember talking about in the feminism threads about a year ago. These people just get so frustrated seeing their own actions not produce the life that they had expected it should produce

This dude would "look at what happens" in a US, EU, AU, non-muslim asia and just be confused as fuck when the standard of living is higher, GDP is way higher, people are happier, xboxes and iphones for everyone, sex is everywhere, and ofc bacon.

I don't know how he can make sense of all of that disconfirming evidence without abandoning the belief (not happening) or getting totally furious

It's sad when a feminazi spends his/her time being totally frustrated with the big confusing world but it's just downright scary when a muslim does it

[AlastorTGN]

Also the quote of Death Penalty being a deterrent, how's that working out for them? There's seemingly a fair few people ining around the block to get pelted in the head by big fucking rocks.

Anyways, he knows sodomy is haram so he takes some pills that help drop his libido. He also fasts every other day which helps control his desires. He is literally my role model in regards to faith and Iman. He has more Iman than the majority of Muslims and may Allah reward him for that.

What
you're tellin me people dont read the bible and the stuff in it sounds retarded in any context?

To the YouTube!

[Churchill]

Not that either religion is for smart people, but that video is targeting people who are dumb anyway.

The difference between the Qu'ran and the Bible is the Qu'ran is the old testament and the Bible has a semi-revised section.

Obviously this video would have been more accurate if it was comparing jew bible to the Qu'ran.

What! You're telling me that people don't understand the difference between new and old testament even though they are fully aware of Jesus teachings to the point of mocking christians inability to relate to jesus' generally socialist empathetic beliefs?

"By calling this covenant "new," he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear."

The Quran is in fact the opposite due to the law of abrogation

http://www.meforum.org/1754/peace-or...n-islam#_ftn34


The old testament is irrelevant according to the very same book that it is a part of. Putting any stock on the validity of Old Testament in relation to anything is like saying that vanilla WoW is the true WoW and disregarding all updates.

[thetruepandagod]

I'm not religious and do not believe in any higher power whatsoever, but there is a massive difference between Islam and Christianity and to not know that makes you dumber than any bible thumping fag hanger.

If Muslims followed the Quran to the letter they would be more aligned with ISIS than any moderate muslim that fills the halls of anecdotes, where as any Christian that followed the new testament to the letter would be more in line with the stereotype views of Jesus. Should just do an ol switcheroo and trick all moderate muslims into becoming christian and all fire and brimstone old testament preachers swap to radical Islam so these pointless comparison conversations and click bate videos stop occurring.

[Blubbartron]

To be fair, some of the parts in that video was New Testament. A woman should hold no authority or try to teach a man, but should be silent, definitely is.

A man born 2 millennia ago would totally be down with a modern political ideology

"Don't misunderstand why I have come. I did not come to abolish the law of Moses or the writings of the prophets. No, I came to accomplish their purpose.

Lets not pretend anything Jesus said truly made sense. This is the guy that cursed a tree for not giving him fruit in the off season lol.

I prefer the stories of young christ where he made men blind, pushed kids off roofs and made birds out of mud while talkin mad shit to normies.
