Newspaper Ad Targeting Muslims Causes Concern
 
This local Teabagger nutjob I work with also happens to be a preacher, and is planning on giving a series of sermons dealing with the evils of Islam.

There's a video in the link, too.

Quote:

The ad features 5 weeks of sermons lasting throughout the month of October to be ministered by Iowa Park Church Of Christ preacher Bill Lockwood, he feels the need to tell people what he believes the Quran teaches.
"It is a religion of aggressive violence. The Quran itself teaches the beheading of people it teaches to push religious beliefs with the sword," said Lockwood.

I sooo wish that I could organize protests like they did for that nutjob in Florida that wanted to burn the Quran.

what a fucktard

Faith vs. Faith is some scary, scary, scary shit. Seems as if this sort of bullshit is on the rise, and while I'm disgusted + tired of hearing about it, I can't bring myself to ignore it.

I'm so glad atheist are so seldom extremist.

The texts on both end of the spectrum are so obscenely violent, how these idiots can say "I'm right, you're wrong" is beyond all things Sway.

Two wrongs don't make a right but considering the way non-muslim religions are openly and regularly condemned by various muslim leaders, I really couldn't give a shit.

ann ashtray 09.22.2010 11:27 AM

That is one way of looking at it, for damned sure.

SONIC GAIL 09.22.2010 11:41 AM

I wish all these fuckin retards would quit fighting over who is right and practice the love and tolerance of others instead. They are making a mockery of christianity. No fucking wonder its so hard for people to believe in this day and age when you have LEADERs leading their lambs to the slaughter.

$$$$$$

cash rules everything around me

every single religious endeavor seeks $$$$$$$

any competitors must be denounced so as to get more $$$$$$

if you do not believe it look at how the "leaders" of the religions live.

When will people stop lying about knowing something that cannot be known (God)?

If you claim to know that there is a God YOU ARE THE PROBLEM

SONIC GAIL 09.22.2010 12:11 PM

I donkt claim to know anytrhing. I believe. Its pointless to know. Faith is not based on knowing shit.

no, but if given the chance, you should check out the movie "Two Wongs Make a White".

it's likely to be found at the back of the video store, behind the horror films and next to "Splatman".

true story.

Does anyone remember the southpark episode when Cartman goes into the future to get a wii. They could not have put into better perspective.

Ask most Christians if they know that there is a God and they will say yes. It drives me batshit nuts. What most people don't understand is that the Bible and Alice in Wonderland are on the same level of reality.

space 09.22.2010 12:16 PM

ps: "Teabagger nutjob"

is there another way to do it???

“Do 1 not judge, 2 and you will not be judged; 3 do not condemn, and you will not be condemned; forgive, 4 and you will be forgiven."

All god requires is belief. Alot of people are using the word "know" in the sense that they believe in him, feel him, hear him, see him in the world metaphorically speaking. They are not saying that they physically know he exists. At least that is my line of thinking.

If I did not believe I would be dead. What is the point to life if there is nothing in the end? Why bother to work or be nice to people or do anything? Why bother following any moral code if there is no reason in the end? I would kill myself if I did not believe because that would mean that everything is pointless. Morality has been based on "religious" ideas since the beginning of time. I think society would completelty colapse if no one believed. Why endure the pain of life if you can just kill yrself with no consequence?

About Alice...how long ago was this book written? Did it make as much of an impact on society as any of the spiritual texts? Its a different monster? The bible could be better equated to the Odessy or some of his other writings. All containing bits of fact and bits of fantasy but together the bits form a moral message to live by.

I chose to believe btw I was not forced by my parents. They put me through the whole catholic confirmation and shit, but I flat out told them that I was not ready for that i wanted to find god on my own, not be forced. Eventually after a long trip down the wrong path I did.

I know you don't understand my way of thinking, but that is OK cause I don't understand yours either. I still think yr cool though even though you can be an ass sometimes:) , cause I do not choose who i like by the type of belief system they have.

These people in the news are nuts and are not following what the bible they believe in told them to do. So they are not true christians or they got REALLY lost somewhere along the way.

hevusa 09.23.2010 09:15 AM

The point is there is as much evidence/proof about God as there is the invisible pink elephant that lives in my refrigerator. When I don't have the answer to a tough question I say "I don't know" instead of making up some stupid bullshit. That is what religious people need to do to preserve peace and sanity on earth.

ann ashtray 09.23.2010 09:31 AM

I agree, and wish things were that easy.

tesla69 09.23.2010 09:39 AM

we see god through our assholes in the flashbulb of orgasm - william s burroughs

SONIC GAIL 09.23.2010 09:42 AM

It is true and it would be nice if things were that easy but unfortunatly they are not.

Like I said I don't need proof I don't want proof. Those who have really read the bible and have some understanding of it know that god is not about evidence of his being it's just blind faith.

Now I got to do some work, so I just please don't want people to see me like those fools. I love you both and do not give a fuck what yall believe cause that is yr decision not mine.

I just get so sick of all this crappy publicity and idiotic hypocrytes I just feel like I have to let people know we are not all like that.

hevusa 09.23.2010 09:53 AM

It's blind alright... ;)
Sonic Gail... if you removed God from your life you would be a much more honest person. Think of it this way, if there really is a God and he created you he would know there is no real way for you to know if he even exists. Don't you think God would value your honesty when you say "I don't know" instead of "I believe". Didn't you "believe" in Santa too.

I am far too honest of a person to be religious.

SONIC GAIL 09.23.2010 09:57 AM

believing and knowing are different things alltogether:)
