cheddarking:

This guy was making sense until he posted a satirical and humorous article as fact.

Did you really read this?: westerngh.com/2010/04/oprah-winfrey-opens-church-founds-religion/

Even the NY post article does not claim that Oprah is/has a religion. It only highlights similarities in her style of delivery to preaching

Epic fail.


He is a person!

Fucktards can not comprehend what a fact is.

dan jalingo: sometimes i wonder what sence we try to make with some of the things we say. are jews christians?
My brother ask them ooo ! people always also think that once you fill that part deceptively provided as 'YOUR religion' -Christianity,that automatically makes you a christian. How wrong !They should go look at the live of Jesus and HIS teachings and also HIS disciples then come tell us that people killing people are Christians !They were never Christians,they are not Christians but the HOLY spirit can help them be true Christians !-Shalom

No doubt the prof made some valid points. However, he 'over generalized' the issue as this does not apply to all faith. Take for example, Dan Brown wrote the Da Vinci Code which was turned into motion picture by holly wood stars. The content of the movie was a direct affront to the the Lord Jesus, The bible and the Christian Faith yet no life was lost nor any form of violence carried out.
This is just one out of the countless movies and publications against Christ and yet no life is wasted because vengeance belong to God and falsehood/errors will always fizzle out before the TRUTH no matter how long.

I respect professor Shoyinka, but he should get his facts right before making sweeping statements.

No one owes you an obligation to respect or revere your religion and the sooner virtually all muslims get that, the better.

dartsidius7:

so, i guess we can come to the conclusion that all hindus, jehovah's witnesses and mormons are good people. smiley

Soyinka (and possibly you) is making the claim that religion in general is evil.

He doesn't really offer any good reasons for why the religion of Hindus, Mormons or JWs is evil.

Now, granted, the good examples of some specific human beings I have met doesn't necessarily mean that those religions are harmless or even positive (any more than the fact that Islam is an evil religion means all Muslims are bad people).

However, if one wants to claim that all religions are evil or equally bad, clearly a sharper argument is going to be necessary than those provided so far.

ekt_bear:
Was Iraq invaded for religious purposes?


the Christian born again american president that invaded it was most likely following scripture.

otherwise its hard to imagine the christian God never cautioned him in the regular chats that he kept telling us they were having.

ekt_bear:
You mean the same Afghanistan controlled by the Taliban, an organization harboring Osama Bin Laden, the man responsible for 9/11?


really, don’t you know anything
there is no proof to this day linking him to 9/11

ekt_bear:
So if the USA goes after Osama Bin Laden, a man who killed thousands of people in the name of Islam, that to you is some sort of act committed in the name of Christianity?


Sigh…
really, don’t you know anything
there is no proof to this day linking him to 9/11

ekt_bear:
You are really dumb. So WW1 and WW2 were religious wars rathers than simply wars of conquest/expansion or stemming from political disagreements?


they were europen tribal wars that a lot of non europeans paid dearly for
40,000,000+ lives lost all thanks to christian europe

ekt_bear:

So, the cold war was also religious in nature, I take it? Christianity on one side (USA), atheism on the other (Soviet Union and its friends)?


I didn’t say anything about the cold war

ekt_bear:
Of course not. Muslims were not intelligent or advanced enough to build ships. Instead, they conducted the ordinary trans-African slave trade.


really, don’t you know anything?
have you ever read Walter Rodney?

ekt_bear:
Did Muslims invade and almost wipe out the native Christian population of Egypt?


When?

ekt_bear:
Did Muslims not take millions of Slavic people of south Europe into slavery?


When?

ekt_bear:
How many hundreds of years ago were the crusades? So crusades that happened several hundreds years ago is as relevant as suicide bombing happening today, I take it?


you obviously don’t know anything about history.

I am sorry but your predisposition towards defending your religion makes it difficult for you to be rational.

It is futile trying to provide a rebuttal to every thing you typed.

So the actions taken by a leader who is religious can be attributed to his religious beliefs?

I doubt you know the difference between a religious leader and a leader with religious beliefs.

Yeah, life is a bytch for a person madrassa fundamentalist that was taught only Arabic, hence composes English grammar like this. grin

I bring stuff up because I dont like seeing double standards. if you live in glass houses dont throw stones.

if man is born again and that close to God then it should manifest in his conduct whether he's acting as a leader, business man, husband or even a casual acquaintance.

You should just call him a person and learn never to waste your time with mental cases like this again.

A pure cretin!

It is not only HIS failure, it is also the failure of his fellow muslims that would refuse to correct him!

That is part of the fundamental problem with islam.

Guy you are a disappointment! And to think I used to see you as intelligent! I think u may still be considered averagely intelligent only that the hatred in you easily envelopes ur average intelligence.
So hitler is not religious (a christian) even with all those quotes! Oh, hitler was just using these god references to swerve along people into his heinous plans but those warped clerics references are considered the true teaching of islam. Common just admit your argument is shallow,and has been defeated. The fooo28 guy never supported act of violence by those who claim to be muslim,judging from his several posts here, he was only trying to school you that your argument premise is flawed and that christainity is also guilty going by ur silly argument.

The ones who killed, did it for their belief system, and they justified it using the Bible...

The Catholic Priests molested kids in the name of their God, hence why the Pope never punished them...

Both Abrahamic faiths(Christianity and Islam) are basically the same thing... One is just more violent than the other right now because of their inability to separate religion from the state... Christianity was as violent as Islam is right now when it was going through the same phase...

So, you can't say one is more evil than the other because they were both cut from the same cloth, period..
