Hostage situation’ portrays killers as Christians

It was a hypothetical situation for training purposes Greg! Rather than keeping it hypothetical, they portrayed Christians as “terrorists” for the purpose of making them look as radical as the so-called christians you refer to above.

With all the attacks on schools in the world, why would they insinuate that “fundamental Christians” could be terrorists, rather than portray the radicals that have actually carried out attacks?

My asking if you are a Christian is not ad hominem.

I asked, to determine the viewpoint you are arguing from.

Some Churches follow the Biblical definition of Christianity and some churches follow a worldview yet claim to be Christian, and some followed Biblical Christianity, then allowed the social gospel to infiltrate and replace their theology. They are nothing more than social clubs who use religious sounding names and phraseology.

The fact that you are trying to tie the “fundamental Christians” in with the radicals you mentioned above…leads me to think you are from the second church, leaving the possibility of the third church open.

You have to have your head covered in sand to believe that there are no people in the world that 1) CLAIM to be Christian and 2) MIGHT be terrorists.

Yes, those who CLAIM to be christian have and will commit terrorist acts and those who want to demonize Christians will continue to portray them as though they were no different than “christian Identity” and other like groups.

That is what this post points out. Not surprisingly; it seems to have pushed one of your buttons.

Are you a Christian Greg?

Ad hominem much? Does the fact that I am, in fact, a Christian, who belongs to a mainstream denomination which applauds the church/state separation, make the fact that there are Christian terrorists out there more or less true?

Sources?

Google? 1.1 million hits. Take your pick. There are only a million such hits for “Muslims condemn London bombing” so you have fewer to pick from. But that’s still a lot.

You have to have your head covered in sand to believe that there are no people in the world that 1) CLAIM to be Christian and 2) MIGHT be terrorists.

“do whatever you want, we don’t care”, is not the mainstream. That is what the MSM would have you believe but is not reality.

just that they might CLAIM to be Christian.

Maybe you should try reading the article again.

“Investigators described them as members of a right-wing fundamentalist group called the “New Crusaders” who don’t believe in separation of church and state. The mock gunmen went to the school seeking justice because the daughter of one had been expelled for praying before class.”

Are you a Christian Greg?

The 9/11 attacks were condemned by Mainstream Islam. So were the London Bombings.

Sources?

and who call themselves “true” Christians and want to set up
theocracies.

What they call themselves is not relevant. What they show themselves to be, is.

People who make statements that Christians want to set up a “Theocracy” are simply stating that they haven’t a clue as to how a representative Republic works and how the Constitution protects it.

I’ll ask you the same thing… are you a Christian?

it’s the constant attempts to legislate your cherry-
picked biblical admonitions that are objected to.

Object all you like. That doesn’t change the fact that the admonitions have been in the Bible from the beginning, there’s no need to “cherry-pick” them, they were legislated throughout our history and every country on earth had the same prohibitions. America’s prohibition was just recently overturned by a SCOTUS that ruled without precedent and relied on “International Law” rather than “Constitutional Law”.

Of course, Glib has the reponse tactic down pat: Oh, those folks
aren’t really mainstream Christians, anyway. Of course, real
“mainstream” christianity excludes right-wing evangelicals. In other
words, someone like Rick Warren could be called “mainstream”; Robertson,
Dobson, et al–not so much.

Smokey–you have every right to waste all the oxygen you want telling
people that homosexuality is a sin (”sin” = whatever a right-winger
disapproves of), it’s the constant attempts to legislate your cherry-
picked biblical admonitions that are objected to.

Goldlions, how many children were killed in Oklahoma City? The only difference is that McVeigh didn’t blow himself up. (Glib, McVeigh told Time magazine in 1996 that he believed in God, and the Guardian in 2001 that he was an agnostic. Think maybe his time in prison might have changed his views?)

The 9/11 attacks were condemned by Mainstream Islam. So were the London Bombings. You could easily make the argument that the terrorists weren’t TRUE Muslims, weren’t part of mainstream Islam.

Odd, however, that when Christians simply tell people that homosexuality and stealing are sins, we are demonized for “legislating morality”, but no one even discusses the FACT that were you to be gay in a Muslim country, you would be blugeoned with stones until dead, or have a wall dropped on your head. If you are “convicted” (bad term for these countries I know) of theft, THEY CHOP OFF YOUR HAND. But, after all, they are a “religion of peace”, so they are not to be discussed, right?

Waco — are you calling Janet Reno a Christian terrorist?

McVeigh — NOT a Christian. Self-described “agnostic.” Can’t be both, buddy. Don’t pull out your little “Christian Identity” drool…you’ll only cement your ignorance if you do.

Rudolph/Army of God/Olympic Park (funny how you needed to make one thing look like three in an attempt to “bolster” your “gotcha dossier.” Sorry though Greg-o, you strike out again. We return to “Christian Identity” and the ignorance you display by associating this trash with mainstream Christianity.

Bottom line — even if any or all of these people were Christians, no one in the Christian mainstream has come out in support of them or anything they’ve done whether it was done “in the name of God” or not. The same can;t be said of the Muslims, the tip of the worldwide terrorism spear. Get your head out of the sand.

Yeah, there are no Christian terrorists, nothing to see here. Move along. None of these things ever happened.
