Reminds me of the twenty-something Christian 2 or 3 years ago who stoned to death that 70 year old gay man because the Bible says homosexuals should be, you know, stoned to death. You'd think this happened in some far off land of sharia milk and barbarian honey, but no, it was just Philly.

Holy decrees from the Pope notwithstanding, yes, Christians and Muslims are different in many ways. However, most Muslims are about as Muslim as Christians are Christian. I know and understand human nature. No matter how ridiculous the notion, regardless of what it is, somebody else out there...

An excellent example of someone convinced their chains are jewelry. They are in charge of precisely what men allow. Women are delegated tasks and positions which men do not want, and are given only as much authority as is necessary to keep the church going and the offerings coming in. This, of...

Actually, because they aren't allowed by men to be priests, that's exactly what it means. Well, subservient, anyway, and not sub servant.

The data shows unambiguously that we are in the midst of an abnormal and rapid state of climate change. It is confirmed by every branch of science. That humans are a contributing factor, especially since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution, is not really even up for debate, as everything...

Actually, no, as no one here has done that. Clearly, you think "abuse" only refers to the physical. We do, however, have EO members glad to besmirch an entire world religion as barbaric. That's not low class, it's no class. You've done far more to denigrate the South and Appalachia than anyone...

This thread _ IS _ the other side of the coin. Non-Christian? You mean like Muslims? Why single our Muslims? I know lots of Muslims that are very kind people that have class. That's kind of the point of this thread, to show that pointing out the exception to the rule shouldn't be used as a...

"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character." - Martin Luther King, Jr.

That's not an answer, it's a deflection. You're a grown man and are entitled to believe whatever you want. The truth is easily obtainable, however. That's because it's out of your own personal experience and you cannot fathom it unless you've experienced it. In the realm of Southern...

There are anecdotal exception to everything. Everything. If you are referring to me, you're dead wrong. These aren't observations from afar or anything else of that nature. They are first hand experiences of things I've witnessed. These are people I know, friends, and some relatives. These are...

Well, they are denounced as my being a true Christian, and they publicly repudiated because a Christian will flat throw another Christian under the bus out of fear of being associated with that particular flavor of Christian fervor. There are plenty of Christians who sat back in silent agreement...

Did you read about this Sudanese woman or did you actually experience it yourself? In any case, it has nothing to do with life in Appalachia or in the Bible Belt. It has nothing to do with southern men ensuring their women are subservient and the women accepting it (even do the point of...

What's incomprehensible is her second sentence. OMG I certainly understand why she didn't list any academic credits in her bio.

The author of the piece is clearly the dumb blond that her portrait portrays her to be. Start with the atrocious grammar and sentence syntax, move to the opinions presented as fact, then finish with facts utterly misrepresented, some of which are contradicted by her own source material. The...

The irony that strikes me as the most hypocritical is, when a Christian does something wacko, the response is, invariably, "He's not a TRUE Christian, " but when a Muslim does something wacko, the response is... to make him the poster boy for Islam.

Even more amazing is how many people think all Muslims live under the barbaric form of sharia law, and that sharia law is widely in place in Muslim countries. Fundamentalist wacko Christians don't represent the majority of Christians any more than fundamentalist wacko Muslims represent the...

Assuming Muslim women are comfortable wearing face and head coverings, and being subservient to men under sharia, where is the abuse? Most religions are more about control than anything, and not unlike slavery, if you can convince people their chains are jewelry, you've got a good start on...

RLENT complains (albeit off topic) to being frustrated in not being able to change a thread title, and you inform him that his frustration on that issue will end if he would only go back up and read the first post in this thread. I'd love to know the analytical and logical reasoning for that...
