You most likely are not Christian (95% of TL-ers are not bible believing Christians). But they see you as one. And they think you're just dirt. You will be destroyed in the end. Muslims are taught from young that Islam and Allah are the truth. Everything else is false, lesser and demonic. Allah will destroy all the pigs (Jews and ChristiansWhite people) in the end. : )) Welcome to Islam You could substitute 'muslim' for 'christian' and then 'white people' for 'non-christian' and have an equally objective descreption of bible believing christians. Yes for the destruction/judgement part, no for everything else. God wants all to come to repentance. And the God of this universe is not some detached God who doesn't care about anything (islamic Allah) but one who came to earth to be ridiculed by those who sinned against Him, scourged, and pay for our sins on the cross. One whose name is Love. One who created the world in love and made us in His image.
That might be how you interpret Christianity, but it's definitly an image that is pretty much impossible to recognize looking at the actions of the Vatican (the main christian authority) the last thousand years. From anything from Crusades against infidels, the burning of countless women through the inquisition to claiming that condoms don't protect against HIV and it's a sin to use them. I'm sure that makes sense if you believe in superstition and magic, but I'm afraid I don't. I haven't since I was 8.
I'm not gonna argue which is worse, Islam or Christianity, but my point is that the world would be a better place without either.

I am Afghan, and in afghanistan the war left no space for islam... Humanity shows its real face when the thin veil of civilization dissapears. This was rather a judical case involved with bribes and wrong understanding of honor than islam. But ive seen comments like "nuke them all" here, and some people apparently think that despite saying these horrible things, they are somehow on a higher moral ground. Just look how invadive some people s nature is. A rape and unjust happens thousands of kilometers away and has no other effect than to disgust and make themselfs feel better, so they demand nukes to kill several millions.
No, you are not.

The amount of stupid is astounding. Hope someone kills the bastard that did this to her.

You really should learn to ignore comments like those. Obviously a few people are overreacting by the shocking nature of this case. They don't really wish the death of millions of afghans.

1. Have you known for yourself by reading the gospels, Jesus the God-man who came to save us?
2.Would the Jesus of the Gospels (God Himself come to earth) be happy with the Catholic church? (Or any church which is so filled with hate, bigotry, corruption and godlessness)
3. Have you met a genuine follower of Jesus Christ and seen the love of Jesus in him? (I know Sweden is currently <1% Bible-believing/practicing Christian)

My friend, if you think there is an allpowerfull creationist entity in this infinite universe that actually cares about the random life form that is humans, you are the ignorant one and attribute way too much importance to the human race. To make an analogy (although not a great one) it's like bacteria having a religion thinking humans are gods that govern their lives and made up illogical rules for them to follow. (assuming bacteria were an intelligent life form). My thoughts about religion aside, looks like some zones of the earth are still in the dark ages. Convicting a raped woman of adultery and burning a man who says the earth is round are not that far apart on the moral vector when religion is involved.

How is this situation POSSIBLY fair? She was freaking raped..... where's the justice?!

This is disgusting. I don't usually generalize people but seriously, what kind of stupid, irrational and outdated culture is so brainless as to kill a family member for being raped. There is a certain, wondrous thing called common sense and I previously thought that all humans had it.
|
Well, we Europeans also had to go through the middle ages and it's not like there was justice around every corner, especially with the church being as powerful as it once was, even more powerful than kings and kingdoms.
So it is only natural, that they also have to go through such a process. The only difference between them and us a few hundred years ago is that they have guns instead of swords and shields.

Ok I get it, you're just a troll actually.
What is the point of insulting my country, and then agreeing with my opinion ?
Yes you should clarify and make a difference between "muslims" and "islamist".
Go find an english translation for the word "amalgame".

The basic Christian message has a lot to offer and the world would probably be a better place if more people lived by that. But then just call it a philosophy. Just say that you are a nice person or a friendly and loving person. If you insist those teachings comes directly from god you are only setting yourself up for all kinds of unnecesary dificulties. Not to mention that from the belief in an omnipotent god follows the fact that he must be the guy personally killing thousands in Tsunamies when he's not busy giving aids to babies in Africa. Also next time you see him tell him "fuck you" from me for inventing the flu virus. That shit gets me every year.

Because they do-not-teach-relationship-with-God and depravity of man. If they truly taught you both of those central themes of God's truth (relationship with God <3 + depravity of man) and actually tried to answer the big questions students ask (i.e. Why is there suffering? What is the devil? Why the devil? Why the fall? Why the cross?), then you guys at least would be informed unbelievers. Unfortunately, most people are unbelievers and uninformed. : (((((((
I can't say "F!@# you" to God for you. You need to say that yourself. And then you see his response to you is not punishment as one expects, but love and forgiveness. He is your Father and He cares for you more than you can ever know. It is sad people have distorted God so much when Jesus was all about loving the lost and punishing those who refuse to admit their sin.

Not to mention that from the belief in an omnipotent god follows the fact that he must be the guy personally killing thousands in Tsunamies when he's not busy giving aids to babies in Africa. Also next time you see him tell him "fuck you" from me for inventing the flu virus. That shit gets me every year. Mandatory education of religious texts often puts people off religion. Because they do-not-teach-relationship-with-God and depravity of man. If they truly taught you both of those central themes of God's truth (relationship with God <3 + depravity of man) and actually tried to answer the big questions students ask (i.e. Why is there suffering? What is the devil? Why the devil? Why the fall? Why the cross?), then you guys at least would be informed unbelievers. Unfortunately, most people are unbelievers and uninformed. : ((((((( I can't say "F!@# you" to God for you. You need to say that yourself. And then you see his response to you is not punishment as one expects, but love and forgiveness. He is your Father and He cares for you more than you can ever know. It is sad people have distorted God so much when Jesus was all about loving the lost and punishing those who refuse to admit their sin.
Haha.
and revelations is such a kind story of love, compassion, and forgiveness

Religion does nothing but ruin the world.
Maybe one day we will be without it.

Even two years later, Gulnaz remembers the smell and state of her rapist's clothes when he came into the house when her mother left for a brief visit to the hospital.
"He had filthy clothes on as he does metal and construction work. When my mother went out, he came into my house and he closed doors and windows. I started screaming, but he shut me up by putting his hands on my mouth," she said.
The rapist was her cousin's husband.
After the attack, she hid what happened as long as she could. But soon she began vomiting in the mornings and showing signs of pregnancy. It was her attacker's child.
In Afghanistan, this brought her not sympathy, but prosecution. Aged just 19, she was found guilty by the courts of sex outside of marriage -- adultery -- and sentenced to twelve years in jail.
http://edition.cnn.com/2011/11/22/world/asia/afghanistan-rape/index.html?hpt=hp_c2If you read on, the article goes to say that if she gets out of jail by marrying her rapist, she will be in danger from her attacker's family because of their "shame". I don't even... Apparently she had brought great shame by commiting adultery when she was raped and impregnated... I guess it shows how much rights women have in Afghanistan. Should she stay in jail to be safe? What should happen to her daughter?
There are several prevalent religions in the states that share these exact same ideas.
Its not so far away from home
Im not being funny but shuoldn't someone posting some religious bs in a thread like this get an autoban on moral grounds?
If they can reject reason on the grounds of faith then they are supporting irrational stupid laws by extension of their own beliefs - which is pretty evil even if tacitly so.

MAN is not depraved (how can someone who understands god be so blasphemous to describe his creation with an idea constructed by man?)... man is a being that get taught things. the depraved are those that teach man that logic and reason are not ways of understanding the world. Rather the word of some authority is what you shuold take as the way to live your life and you are not to question it - if you do then you are not being faithful. Simply put it is stating obey.
The depraved are those people that teach man to not think.
you are talking about informed and uninformed ... then you talk about his response ... how can something that can categorically be said to be impossible to exist or have any effect on this world in any way shape or form (even if there is a god this is true - yes if there is a god then he still doesn't exist) by its very definition have a RESPONSE? Are you really that stupid?
