    You can call me Judy, but I don't see why wars in the old testament would imply christian approval of war. You're indeed correct when you say there is mention of war in the old testament and you're indeed correct when there is said that war is justified by God himself. But that still does not...

    Some of your posts in this thread have shown there's no room for discussion as far as you care. Therefore I don't feel the necessity to start one. If you feel the need to know my stance on the subject, read the part I posted about William of Ockham.

    Actually you're the most intolerant of them all. I didn't expect you to understand my words.

    I have to admit I really wonder what this very intolerant and offensive attitude of muslims on this forum can imply. In my backyard muslims have always been very nice and tolerant people, but I have to say the image I get of muslims on this forum (who unlike muslims in my country live in a...

    I do. Of course Jihad doesn't only mean religious war, it has many meanings, but religious war is one of them. I'm sorry, but it's a simple fact war isn't necessarily condemned in Islam as it is in christianity. Doesn't mean christians are any less intolerant than muslims though.

    I don't think it really matters. Religion will always be a hot topic be it in this thread be it in another. I don't really feel the need to react in the Juve related threads as some members there probably know more about football than I do (Stuart, Andy, Denco, Vinman..). I did feel the need...

    Actually christian belief would condemn crusades. I'm sure that not too many christians today agree with the actions of medieval popes. They invented the concept of "bellum justum", just war. Whereas christian belief doesn't talk about holy wars, Islam doés talk about Jihad. You might want to...

    Although I have never chosen to react before and although I mostly read only Juve related threads, this thread caught my eye and I would like to have my say in it. First off I don't want to offend anyone. If people are offended with what I'm going to say now, I want to make it perfectly clear...
