How is that "backing up this stupid belief"

Again, I was pointing out hypocrisy, not condoning or condemning the practice.

The Islamic belief is that a Muslim cannot be jovial during a time of mourning. Why the whole Muslim faith was mourning at the time I'm not sure of. Cheesy

What is jovial about our nations song I will never understand either. Now this instance is stupid. You defended it. Now you ague against silly Christian beliefs. I can't understand your viewpoint. Huh

There were some wonderful Science Fiction writers back then in biblical times.

I wish I was talking stone age beliefs. Google it for yourself, there are a whole bunch of websites that spruik this kind of drivel. I guess that's what happens when you decide something cannot possibly be wrong in any regard against all reason.

Come on Stratos, you backed the kids that walked out of the anthem. Give Christianity a go hey.

Just because you support somebodies rights to express their religion Double, doesn't mean you have to believe in it.

I thought it was about respect for peoples beliefs.

It is. But that doesn't mean you get to just make stuff up.

Walking out of the national anthem because a Muslim can't be jovial in a time of mourning is a stupid belief. Stratos and you both backed up this stupid belief. Now you are knocking Christian silly beliefs. Why defend silly beliefs and then in the next instance ridicule them??

Trolling comes to mind.

Still sticking up for Islam I see. Singing the national anthem was a drag when I was at school.

I'm just confused how you can have a total point of view reversal when discussing Islam and Christianity.

How can you have a "complete reversal" on two entirely different topics.

1) I point out the hypocrisy of getting outraged at Muslims refusing to participate in the anthem, due to an existing religion doing this sans outrage.

2)I ask Maria to back up her claim regarding eyewitness testimony of Jesus (Hi Maria, still waiting by the way Grin

)

Apart from the subject of religion these topics are not even remotely similar

You are picking the peanuts out of Christianity and defending Islam. Can't you see it. You are biased.

Nope, just one lying poster. There are some parts about Christianity I am quite fond of, ironically one being the ninth commandment (which Maria keeps breaking). You might want to familiarise yourself with it when you say things like this:

You are...defending Islam

Bearing false witness much? I am not defending it, nor indeed any religion. There are many things about Islam I am perfectly happy to criticise. While on the topic of historicity, why not start with the fact that the oldest Koran is apparently older than Muhammad, which makes the claim that it was revealed to him false (or that Muhammad lived a chunk earlier than is claimed).

I personally am a bit more of a fan of the synoptic gospels to be honest. The end of John is a bit more out there than the others with all the miracles after the resurrection account, and Jesus hanging about for ages afterwards.

In fact, I prefer the way Jesus is depicted far better in the older gospels, much more of the "tragic hero" sort of character than the much more divine sounding record in John.
