On your side of things, you've been taught Christian values (I'm guessing). Why is their religion any different from yours in a sense of carrying out their requirements?


I'm just trying to get people to see what they're coming from. They feel the same way about us...."kill the infadels". We think, "Kill the barbarians". Just a thought...

stop trying to act like you know something, no where in the bible does it say "kill the barbarians". no where in the new testament the basis of the christian religon does it state to use any type of violence on anyone. i know your thinking "the old testament is quite violent" the old testament is the basis of judiasm which does preach that non jews or "gentiles" are inferior and speaks of many archaic rules and practices that in the new testament are refuted by jesus. most religons are peaceful, the only exceptions would be the jews and the muslims, islam being the more violently militant of the two.[/quote:7f336]actually, i wasn't even talking about religion at that moment. We as a nation are not all Christians, therefore, i was not refering to our opinion of killing the barbarians to be christian. That was more of a statement from our democratic society. calmdown:
