I know the gist of the Councel of Trent but if you can elaborate that'd be great. Also, what do you know about Paul the Apostle and his involvement in the creation of Christianity? It couldn't happen with Islam because we go off the Qur'an which to us is God's word. In the Qur'an there is a...

Now tell us about the Councel of Trent :D

We need a bigger space shuttle :D

I'm thinking the whole Adam & Eve, creationism, original sin, son of God, trinity, etc. thing :D

:D

Are you a Christian?

I don't defend the Muslim countries for the 100th time :D I believe all their leaders should be put in a space shuttle and shot into space. Oh common now. There are billions of Muslims yet you point to the actions of a handful. You're guilty of the same crime as all the atheists saying...

Sure, good point :tup: You're confusing the two things I said. I said that Christianity is a dying religion and by that I mean in Europe and United States. The other thing I said was that because of the small numbers of actual Christians there isn't much outrage when people offend...

Never said that it hasn't been done.

I agree that religion is cultural in the sense that it's 'fed' to you as a child, but isn't everything? I mean, you parents tell you what's wrong and what's right from a very young age and that's what you grow up to believe unless you figure out things on your own. If you were born to rich white...

The difference is that capitalism and democracy are not believed to be sent down by God. Islam can be practiced in its truest form if people actually read the Qur'an. If they go off what some corrupt clergy member tells them because they're illiterate and can't read the Qur'an then they're wrong...

Islam in its truest form is a positive influence. Martin, if there's anything you have to take away from all the religious conversation we've had on the forums is that I don't belong to mainstream Islam. @Andy (or anyone else that's interested): http://www.travelpod.com/blogs/0/Pakistan.html

Christianity is very much alive in South America, but what do they have to offer to the world? Oil is in the Muslim world and until Hugo Chavez came into power no one was concerned about Venezuela. The United States has had South America in its sphere of influence for a very long time now, so if...

There are extremists in Christianity so don't go there. It wasn't too long ago that people were being lynched for being a different skin color. Apparently they believed the Bible gave them the right to slavery. Second of all, if the jokes directed at their God were coming from the Muslim world...

Hate to say this but I guess I might as well since we're all being so frank with each other these days: Christianity is a dying religion and it's not surprising. 99% of my friends from 'Christian' part of the world are atheists. The 1% that does believe in God has rejected church entirely...

Look, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that the West gets shivers down the spine at the sound of Islam. If Islam wasn't spreading at the rate it is due to its righteous teachings than no one would ever complain: anyone ever complained about Buddhists? No. You can blame that on...

So the cartoons are a way of showing that not everyone bows to the same person? Gees, I don't like the police, maybe I ought to throw shit at them next time. What ever happened to a good old "I beg to disagree" comment? What people could be tyrants?

I get the feeling some people enjoy freedom of speech just for the sake of it. It's like if I gave a 5 year old the permission to eat as much candy as he wants. He would be the happiest person on earth and he would laugh at all the other kids without knowing that he's harming himself...
