Eh, I laughed. But I'm against all religions equally
~Nicole
I agree it was funny, and as i am not a religious person either. I just do not want some religious "Fanatic" to come in and get all "angry" and so on over a harmless "joke".

I was wondering, do you guys have a big feast with your family/friends? I had Turkey with gravy, stuffing, vegetables, egg salad(my favorite) and apple pie. The egg salad should give me a good amount of protein.
In the name of Jesus, how dare you!!!... nah, I'm just kidding.
Not many people are religious.
In the name of Jesus, how dare you!!!... nah, I'm just kidding.AMEN!Im not gonna scream about jesus sacrefising himself. But do remember, if it wasnt for that guy, we wouldnt have half the days off from school/work we do now! so stfu people!
What does stfu mean?Isn't it interesting how several posters made jokes about Christianity and everyone said they were relieved when no one defended it. Yet one joke about Islam and the first response is a disclaimer saying it wasn't true, just a joke, and so forth.
PC at its finest.
Mmm. In response to Silent's post, those religions do infact provoke terrorism, even Christianity. I'll get you some quotes out of the Bible.
JER 13:14 And I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, saith the LORD: I will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy, but destroy them.
"I will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy, but destroy." (Jer. 13:14) "Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not, but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling."
These are off a link about Biblical Contradictions, which I have to say there are many and really challenge an 'all knowing and perfect' Gods reputations
Oh *edit* got some more regarding 'should man kill'
Exodus 32:27 "Thus sayeth the Lord God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, . . . and slay every man his brother, . . . companion, . . . neighbor."
Numbers 15:36 "And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the Lord commanded Moses."
Hosea 13:16 "they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with children shall be ripped up."
I personally feel that Christians chose to believe the 'positive' parts of the Bible, and maybe extremists for all religions just look at the whole of their Holy Book in general.

All are taken out of context and none of which necessarily provoke or advocate terrorism. To say "we will go smite someone" is not terrorism. Those may be considered somewhat "dark" and so on. But in no way do i take that as preaching terrorism.
Lol though in all honesty i couldn't care less.

Notice you quoted passages from the Old Testament...
The testament where God brought his chosen people from Egypt to the land he chose for them, the testament where the people inhabiting Judea and Israel were condemned by God over and over for their sins... If you go strictly by a timeline, nothing in the old testament (other than the prophesy) has to do with Christianity, because Christianity has to do with Jesus Christ. Although attention is paid to the Old Testament, most of Christianity refers to the New Testament. If Christianity followed the Old Testament, we'd still be slaughtering oxen and burning the carcasses at the altar.
I don't have my Bible in front of me, but I can almost guarantee you all the passages you have cited have to do with the prophets preaching doom to the Isrealites because they've sinned against God, or it has to do with other nations attacking Isreal.
We don't only "acknowledge" the good parts of our scripture, we remember what has been done and said. According to the old covenant of God to Isreal, he delivered his "chosen" people, the Isrealites, out of slavery to the so called promise land. In the New Testament, through Jesus, He set a new covenant with all the people willing to believe in him and his Son. People of all races and backgrounds, willing to put faith in Jesus, to paraphrase .. "I am the way. Nobody gets to the Father unless it's through me"
I'm not starting a holy war here, but to cite the passages you cited and tell that "Christianity provokes terrorism" is absurd. When was the last time you heard of a group of Christians blowing up a skyscraper, or strapping a bomb to themselves and blowing up a crowd. Islam doesn't provoke terror in its pure form, its the radical clerics that do that.
I want everyone who reads this post to keep one more thing in mind... there is a difference in FAITH and RELIGION. Religion is ritual, faith is believing in something with no doubt or fear of persecution.
I'm faithful in the Message, in Jesus Christ, and in God himself...
*imagines all the people scratching their heads and wondering "why haven't we seen this side before"*
THe only reason it has loopholes and contradictions is because non believers find them. The Christian FAITH is FAITH. Its believing in Jesus and God.
Anyone can find fault with anything if they look hard enough. People preach off of what they believe, its up to the individual to decide whether they believe it or not.
Just because you don't believe it, don't discredit it because I do.
I'd say the reason there are loopholes and contradictions is because the people who had control of the scriptures before mass printing altered it to fit their needs. Doesnt mean that there is a good message in a lot of it. Im just glad most people cant read hebrew or they would quote the same stuff and think jews were farkin nuts.
Not all of the scriptures we're written in Hebrew though, some of them were in Greek
This is what i was trying to say, Even though i "we" do not believe in it does not mean i "we" should disrespect someone else's beliefs.
Yes, my origional post was trying to subtly defend islamic people by saying that Christians/ Jews, aren't completely free of evil preachings.
