32694, A very weak argument
Posted by M2, Thu May-26-05 12:13 PM

The Christians did the same thing back in the 50s, 60s, or hell for the entire slavery era, they would find something within the religion or within the Bible they could use to justify slavery, or justify attacking Blacks. These people firmly believe themselves to be good Christians.

The practice continues to this day, as White Supremacist groups do that shit now, citing a passage in the Bible that to them means that the only people that matter are the ones that can visibly Blush (according to them at least).

Within the history of organized religion, there have always been people who twist religious dogma to justify crimes, that any informed person knows run contrary to the beliefs of that religion.

That's what extremists do.

If you believe that the actions of Islamic extremists are part of "mainstream" Islam, than you know nothing about the religion and are arguably rather clueless about history.

The Spanish Inquisition was carried out by Christians who believed that persecuting Jews (and others) was supported by the Bible.


That's just one example - it's pretty easy to find others, of Christians citing the bible and then committing attrocities.


Peace,
