No, your last post did that. Wow, I mean wow!! That was some totally insane ranting. I don't think I've ever seen such a glaring example of someone who is off his meds crazy as what you "wrote," and I'm putting that in quotes because I have respect for the written word, but crazy stuff like that shouldn't qualify. I know thunderlips usually agrees with you, but I bet he won't want to be associated with what you just wrote. His posts don't seem crazy, at least.
Sorry to wreck your thread, but honestly, it was offensive to begin with. You cherry-picked a news story, took a quote about nebulous unconfirmed death threats, and asserted that Christians are homicidal control freaks. I take issue with that. I defended my POV, vigorously. You flipped out and fell off the crazy tree, hitting every branch on the way down. If you can't have a reasonable discussion without resorting to name calling and swearing at anyone who disagrees with your POV, it WOULD be better if you took a break from the forum.
Good day, sir!

To eliminate it is to eliminate those who hold such beliefs. Since that is what you advocate: congratulations! You most resemble chairman Mao! If given a choice you would kill millions to advance your ideology.
Although obviously fallacious, this particular straw man argument is very common in religious circles. The reason people fall for it is because they hear it from a source their parents have told them to trust: their preachers. The reason the preachers say it is because fear works. If you frighten people with sermons of hellfire and brimstone, and get them to mistrust everyone else, then you can control them. When people become fearful, they retreat from the unknown to the familiar. They then donate to their church, not due to charitable compassion but out of fear, trying to appease the deity or deities whom they have questioned or defied. (Doubt is intrinsic to faith, even though fundamentalism denies it, and we are all of us sinners.) The church then becomes rich, thus "proving" the validity of its doctrine, QED.

The dumb ones never get the joke. Even when you go through the effort of making an obvious setup.

How many times have we read something like that? Think about it. We are outraged of course. Because well its newspeople folks. The ones that bring us the stark truth every single day of the week.
No they don't. The people in Syria are propagandists, not journalists.

Did you know that the Douma Chemical attack never happened, and it was staged as propaganda to support the Syrian war? If not, you've not listened to a single actual journalist covering the Syrian war.

And they are better than Muslims, how?

And atheist girl bravely points out the illegality going on in a public school, funded by tax payer dollars, that has been going on for half a century. Instead of correcting the problem, the local Christians threaten to kill her forcing the local police to escort the girl during school.
So where's all that "love thy neighbor" crap?
The real hypocrisy is that if a school had a Islamic prayer, all the Christians would be up in arms banning Sharia Law. Funny how separation of church and state only applies to other people's religions.
