. . . that and it is the first time I've seen those particular names. Being thought of like that by a false christian is a blessing isn't it?

If you mean "deeply held and utterly irrational beliefs people are willing to kill rather than question or allow to be questioned"

98% of the country you are in is though and they hold the same 'blood lust' as you do so really having that as your get past God free card is going to go nowhere. God comes for Gentiles rather than Christians, you are a Gentile right?

What's immoral about being intolerant of religion?

Bigotry is synonymous to intolerance, does that clear things up for you?

Depends on what you mean by "religious." If you mean "differing versions of the fairy tale/revenge fantasy the two groups hold" you're probably correct. If you mean "deeply held and utterly irrational beliefs people are willing to kill rather than question or allow to be questioned" it was indeed religious. The religion being "We are the righteous, and they are scum."

No it doesn't depend on what I mean by religious. The genocide was not conducted in the name of religion, is what conducted in the name of hatred.

I've heard it said that "sitting in a church doesn't make you religious anymore than sitting in a garage makes you a car".:)



that's always been one of my favorite expressions

Being a professing Christian does not make anyone holier than anyone else. And just be fair about it, this is also true of all other religions. It's not what one professes that makes them a good Christian or whatever - it is one's conduct that makes them so. Jesus attacked the Pharisees more than anyone else for their religious hypocrisy. If he was around today this is precisely what he would be doing again.

Religion is neither necessary nor sufficient for morality, however as it appears by this thread, atheism is anything but tolerant towards religion, not very moral, is it?



You're delusional, the Rwandan Genocide was not religious in nature.

But the majority of those people are Christian professing. Had they been true Christians they would never have committed those atrocities. Same with all other conflicts we have discussed on this forum.

I love your positive attitude and sense of humour.
Already trying to take advantage of her confession are you?
Winning through flattery that has just the kind of ending you would prefer at almost any price. (just seeing if more than 1 button can be pushed at the same time and with multiple recipients , . . . thoughts?)
