Now Ill admit I am not a Bible toting, testifying devout Christian but I was raised around the concept. My personal feelings on religion is, what ever gets you through your day, gives you hope and makes you be the best person you can be. That ideology is probably a wee bit naive but it works for me. I dont expect others to subscribe to my beliefs but if they do then thats cool.

I realize various religions have waged war since the beginning of time. I understand that each religion considers itself the True Religion and all others will come to judgment day and be in for a serious shocker but lets set all that aside for a minute.

I understand the hostility towards Muslims in general before 9/11 and certainly after. I dont personally agree that all Muslims are evil but I realize that people are people and hate is so easy to accept. I realize that just because I personally dont think that all races, religions of groups of people are evil just because some are.

Sorry, this is getting off track, let me get back to the question I wanted to ask.

We have a church here in Gainesville that is planning a Koran burning this weekend. A CHURCH is planning a Koran burning and it's being promoted on radio stations, not only promoted but actually done so in a positive light.

We are supposed to be a nation of Christian values, of forgiveness and understanding. Its understandable that what happened on 9/11 can never be forgotten and those actually responsible cant ever be forgiven (regardless if that is supposed to be the very foundation of Christianity) but how can so-called Christians and whats more Americans not only participate but initiate the burning of anothers Holly Scriptures?

I personally think building the Mosque on the proposed site is a bad idea. I do think it will be a constant reminder and even a slap in the face not only to those that lost their lives but to all those who will ever look back on that very tragic day. I do believe that in many regards that particular Mosque will always be viewed as a victory for current and future radical Muslims and serve as motivation in their hatred of the evils of America. Those are my beliefs and I cant change what I feel but it doesnt mean I am right. Just because its what I personally think is true doesnt give me the right to spit on an entire religion though. How could I consider myself a true Christian or a real American if I took part in the burning of another religions Bible?
 
The Koran burning by another church would be an extremely shallow hypocritical gesture.

Are they wanting to ban Christian churches and burn Christian bibles because of all the things Christian extremists have done? No of course not. Is that because Christian extremists have never done anything atrocious? No of course not.

It is selective vision and, as I say, shallow and hypocritical.



I agree that building the mosque near ground zero is a bad idea. Not because there is anything actually wrong with it but because there are so many people who still think at that childish fear-based level, that it is just asking for trouble.

There are some issues where leaders have to stand up and say, "Okay people, if we are going to move forward as a society, you are just going to have to evolve even though you don't like it." Like if they had waited for everyone to be on board before starting to legislate against slavery/segregation/you-name-it, it would never have gotten done.

But this particular case, I think American society is still too touchy and not even ready to make a start.



However the Koran burning is really ghey.

Well just like when the crusades swept across the middle east and muslim areas in the past, the chicken has come home to roost. Nobody likes to be invaded, even if that invasion is not real, all that matters is the perception. This is pretty much the reason that holy wars will never end. I think that is the way the imaginary friends industry likes it also, it is good for business.

In this particular case, it will probably air on Fox news, and there will be an outcry for both sides. For me, I can't handle the extremist on either side. The christians telling me that the old lady can't have an abortion, even if the bitch was raped, and the freaking muslims who can't have a picture of their prophet circulating around. Both sides seem pretty intolerant to me.

As for me, I think these people are all in for a shock when they croak, and that is it, no virgins, no pearly gates, just a dirt nap.

This is a pet peeve of mine. If all religious folks are indeed incorrect, they will never have that one moment to realize "Oh shit. I just wasted my entire life believing in some bullshit."

It's not fair. Because if I'm wrong, I'm going to spend an entire eternity realizing my mistake. They won't even spend a second.

It's worse than that, Bread. Because of the effects of hypoxia on the brain during death, most of them will probably think that they were right.

Take that, you Airborne-popping placebo-head.
 
Hypoxia is a pathological condition in which the body as a whole (generalized hypoxia) or a region of the body (tissue hypoxia) is deprived of adequate oxygen supply. Variations in arterial oxygen concentrations can be part of the normal physiology, for example, during strenuous physical exercise. A mismatch between oxygen supply and its demand at the cellular level may result in a hypoxic condition. Hypoxia in which there is complete deprivation of oxygen supply is referred to as anoxia.

im not reading this. someone summarize. wally is protesting a church near ground zero. is this more or less accurate?

jesus doesnt want a mosque at ground zero!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lololololololol!!!!!
car bombies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :stevie:
 
It's always the same question who came first the chicken or the egg? Well before Islam was invented the areas where Islam is dominant now were Christian lands. Then the Muslims invaded them and conquered them and converted them to Islam. Then the Crusaders went back to conquer what was Christian land before and Islam took over. So do not kid ourselves. No one knows who owns what since you can't change history but only make new one.
 
Agree with you buddy 100%! There is good and bad among all peoples. Can't believe they let this happen. Florida might not be the place to go to for the monkeys? And also agree the mosque is insensitive being built that close.
 
I am against a Koran burning just like I am against a mosque being built at ground zero.

No positive results will come from these events. Also, just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should. Just like the people who were outside the funeral of the soldier who died fighting some other man's war. Holding up signs saying they were happy he was dead, etc...That soldier's family will probably never be the same. It wasn't neccessary, even if it was legal.
 
Wallaaaaay! Christianity will not get you laid, pal. (Unless you become a pastor and have access to teenage girls in your congregation, then Jesus will supply all the pussaay you can handle).

PS: Jesus is a cunt, in my opinion. I'm looking forward to hell.

PPS: teenage Christian pussy is probably the best pussy ever invented.

That is such a stupid and extremely xenophobic argument. It's a fokken mosque, a place of worship - it's not a symbol of planes going into towers. Unless you're a "sensitive" American I suppose. :jerk:

Now I agree with Muddy and Cougar, if those people had any common sense they wouldn't even try to build it there cause it's sure to attract all kinds of troubles from retards.
