Religious love and tolerance

[TehBorken]

This must be some of that religious love and tolerance I keep hearin' about...

To commemorate the ninth anniversary of 9/11, the Dove World Outreach Center will hold a Quran burning. Senior pastor Terry Jones, organizer of "International Burn A Quran Day," is also the author of the book Islam Is Of The Devil, which I'm sure is a convincing demonstration of intellectual rigor and celebration of diversity.
The Dove World Outreach Center members are pals with the delightful folks from the Westboro Baptist Church, famed for their "God hates" fags" protests.

As a Christian I must say I am appal ed, disgusted and ashamed to see idiots like him in a position of authority, how he can do something so stupid is beyond me.. This is going to incite a whole lot of extreme behaviour.. This is not the Christian way I was taught.. He should have his pastorate, his right to be a pastor revoked...

Disgusting is all I can say. I am Christian I like to think I am lenient & forgiving mostly tolerant of other people heck, I am tolerant. But some actions are just so idiotic I want to reach out and slap the man. Then I want to ask him what On Gods Green earth is wrong with you man. Just what In the hell are you thinking ?

He is A Flaming Idiot is all I can say politely, the other words I would like to use are less forgiving, I am not sure if swearing is sinful or not BUT I have some choice invective an vernacular, I would Like to let rip. I have many many ways of describing him, but my immediate thoughts are this. Fool, idiot, a pompous blow-hard &a  egotistical jack ass to boot, these are the cleanest that come to mind at present.  I have enough to repent for with out adding the rest of my description or thoughts...

That is shameful.

 I'm guessing, just guessing that pastor Terry Jones probably would be outraged if a group of Muslims held a "Burn A Bible" day. Cuz, you know, that would be wrong or blasphemous or offensive to his particular brand of [span style="text-decoration: line-through;"]self-delusion[/span] religion.

After all, it's not like Christianity hasn't been responsible for every possible kind of crime and offense in the world, including murder, racism, child molestation, discrimination, suppression of ideas, etc etc etc.

The problem isn't this religion or that religion, it's religion. Period.

 I completely agree.

  how he can do something so stupid is beyond me..

 
and how can anyone follow his actions is even more confusing.

There are a lot of people who make a lot of noise telling all the world that they are Christians - I'm of the opinion that they have to do this as otherwise we'd have no idea. It's not in the Christian ethic to act this way.

[Natasha]

^ Not all Christians are like that.

[Gopher]

I know that, Natasha, I'm aiming my point at those who are obnoxiously insensitive to others.  

[Natasha]

Good to know but then again I think almost everyone has been obnoxiously insensitive to another person in one way or another. Oh well, you know what they say "nobody is perfect".

[P.C.]

So much hypocrisy, so little time.  

[Natasha]

^ agree. Sad part is we're all guilty of it wether we want to admit or not.  

[P.C.]

We are ?  

[Orik]

some might not be. just because some are does not mean everyone is..
