Foxy,
<<Violence in any form should be condoned.>>
Are you sure you're not an Islamist?

stevenlmeyer,
Islam and Israel are clearly related as illustrated below:

Steven,

Then why raise the topic in the way you did....stalking horse perhaps? it certainly appears that way.

I was attempting to show you without getting too doctrinaire the general logical inconsistency in your approach and the intended topic.
I thought you'd get it. my bad.

Dear Proxy,

My apologies for the typo.

Still, it should have been obvious
from the opening sentence where I
said that no one was condoning violence.
As well as from the rest of my post.

Did you not read it?

Am I an Islamist?
Now, you're just baiting me into
an inappropriate response.

Pericles.. you really are amazing.

You know you cannot really point to any significant negative claim or assertion from me about "Islam" since I began my posting history last month-

YET...you will still come up with this:

//guess it is a pointless exercise, to yet again point out to you the excruciating double standards you exercise in the defence of your own religion, Boaz, merely in order to attack someone else's.//

Hmmm...

STEVEN.. we need to add another law.

"When Pericles cannot find any anti Islamic assertions in my posts, he invents them anyway, and claims my defence of Christianity is in fact an attack on Islam" :)

Pericles.. you MUST be on the Human Rights commission ...right?
Only those mentally challenged bigots would come up with such strained reasoning as that.

OH..you are defending your faith ? ? ? aah.. YOU ARE ATTACKING (name the faith)

That is patently ridiculous. I made no comparisons or contrasts. Your words are empty and devoid of even the slightest bit of balance.

I keep telling you.. people DO read that bigotry.

I just roll my eyes when you mutter through the food scraps "As long as they see it your(my) way".

That is quite an insult to a theologically trained person.

On the specific of Matt 10:34 you would have to look long and hard for ANY Christian or even honest secular scholar who would not say as I did, because context is what determines what something means.
Of course....you could always do the unthinkable..and read it yourself.

My goodness, Boaz, you really do think that we have a short memory.

Or perhaps you would like us to gain the impression that leopards do, in fact, change their spots, and that pigs most definitely are seen regularly taking off from Tullamarine.

>>You know you cannot really point to any significant negative claim or assertion from me about "Islam" since I began my posting history last month YET...you will still come up with this:

Why did you assume I was referring to your assertions about Islam, I wonder? I didn't mention it.

I was simply noting that a) we have had this discussion so many times in the past and b) that the main reason you undertook the exercise has always been in order to highlight what you believe was evil in other scriptures.

You have history, Boaz, as you are well aware.

If you really would like me to quote from that history, I will be happy to do so.

No fair Pericles - didn't you know that Boazy has been "born again"?

As ALGOREisRICH, of course. All his prior sins are forgiven.
