parisbookaddict:Calm down love... It's called AFRICAN TRADITIONAL RELIGION... In Africa, our Tradition is our religion... And did I say Slessor was an Atheist? What's your point? |

jcross19:Dude, Is Christianity innocent of killings? I am not here to argue the innocence of any religion. |

Freemanan:killing in christianity was it a teaching in a christiandom? Is there any jesus teaching that asked his followers to kill non believers? Ask yourself why was catholic set up crusade against other christians who did not follow their ideology? Before you jump into conclusion. |

Freemanan:Its called African traditional religion, yes and it is a gross over-simplification of a very complex phenomenon. Traditions like circumcision, discarding of twins, marking the face, masquerade dances ecetera have nothing to do with religion, it was just culture and tradition. My simple point is that If u condemn religion then u should condemn Mary slessor for selflessly coming to Africa on her missionary journey. Yet u praise her for saving twins in Africa and condemn the one factor that led her to leave her home and come help Africans. Don't u see the paradox in ur logic. An atheist will be at home practicing the tenets of atheism eg nihilism, relativism, hedonism and of course individualism (turn on ur TV and see atheists shooting up universities, murdering people, 95 percent of serial killers are atheists ) etc, according to them life should be lived without the "human" invented morality ) . If life has no meaning why would anyone want to come to Africa and help a primitive and backward people. I ask u again what's ur point. U keep contradicting urself and making mistakes in ur argument. Dude gotta go, u should go do more research for ur arguments and get ur facts straight. |

parisbookaddict:If you read the post properly, you should understand that I made this example to even criticise the ideology of religion making man credulous and gullible. It doesn't glorify or lay preference to any religion. If you can't understand that then I can't help you LOVE... I ask u again what's ur pointReligion is the problem, not a particular religion.. |

jcross19:Dude u are getting somethings mixed up. Let me chip in a little. The last crusade happened in the late 1200s and the catholic protestant war happened between 1618 to 1648. Notice it was a WAR, both Catholics and protestants killed each other. Don't have the picture in ur mind that Catholics slaughtered helpless protestants. Killings were done on both sides, humans are very flawed creatures. In addition, the crusades were never against protestants (or non Catholics as you put it), that timeline is impossible. The crusades was against the jihadist muslims who seized the holy land and were slaughtering those who failed to convert as they made there way into Europe. As bad as it was it had to had, who knows, Europe may have ended up like the middle east. However the fightings got out of hand and innocent Jews were killed by Waring pseudo-Christians. |

Freemanan:to me it seems the killing of isis is justified by you because a sane mind will condemn such habit without thinking twice, check koran they have more 109 verses inciting people to kill non muslims even kill anyone be it muslims that do not follow the way of mohamMAD. Please don't call yourself a freeman because you are not, you are slave to circumstances and death don't be a fool. |
| Re: Bokoharam: Islam Is Not The Cause, Religion Is. by jcross19: 8:06pm On Aug 28, 2015 |
parisbookaddict:when I check it in google I noticed the crusaders want only catholic to be the only christian religion, the crusaders were for both non catholics and to recapture jerusalem. |

parisbookaddict:Very correct, the church have killed too many innocent souls nevertheless. The INQUISITION reaching its peak in the 12th century, torture was used in capital cases as well as against suspected heretics. From the mid-14th century to the end of the 18th century, torture was a common and sanctioned part of the legal proceedings of most European countries which was approved by the inquisition in cases of heresy. The most common means of torture included burning, beating and suffocating, however the techniques that are more extravagant and depraved was used and allowed by the Roman Catholic Church. So is killing heretics "WAR" also? |

Freemanan:U still can't see how ur comment makes no sense. Did religion make slessor gullible to go on a missionary journey to help Africans and endure mosquitoe bites while culture(and not religion) made your African ancestors discard their twins. Her religion inspired good in her and led her to make such a difficult decision. It doesn't glorify or lay preference to any religion.Your argument makes no sense and after my epistle explaining the fallacy of ur logic you still don't get it. If you can't understand that then I can't help you LOVE...Go on and explain with a better argument. By the way, why address me as love?? I don't get it. Mr philosopher go get a girl friend and address her as such, keep the convo platonic man. |

jcross19:I will indulge the vulgarity, such is expected on such discussion. If you see my arguments as a support for the Jihadists, then It's a shame that you can't comprehend. I condemn the whole process, whether the good ISLAM or the extreme ones, I condemn religion as a whole. |

parisbookaddict:I believe WE have a problem of Meaning: Connotation and Denotation here. I will leave you to it LOVE. Oh, Pity. I see you aren't one of the few who understands the difference between courtesy and flirting... My apologies Love... It's an habit... |

Freemanan:that's your choice sire. |
| Re: Bokoharam: Islam Is Not The Cause, Religion Is. by parisbookaddict(f): 8:28pm On Aug 28, 2015 |
jcross19:No NO NO, their aim was to defend the Byzantine empire, stop the jihad, and rescue the holyland from muslim occupation... Christians got along very well and there was orthodox Christians, coptic Christians etc and they didn't kill each other, nothing like protestants then. Becareful about what u read on google, ensure its from a credible site, use google scholars for academic recOrds of the crusades(more accurate). There are muslims who distort the events of the crusades online. My point is that Christians have not always been Christ like, Both protestants and Catholics. Did u know that Luther, founder of the protestant movement is accused of being anti-Semitic and said very terrible things about Jews. Christian violence came and went very quickly because people got to read the bible and saw and understood the real message, both catholic, protestant, coptic, oriental, eastern orthodox Christians etc. This is why Christianity is very peaceful. but as more information has become more available to the muslims they have become more violent. |

Freemanan:Ur insistence on not taking corrections on the mistakes of your argument bore me. Enjoy your folly. By the way, attaching terms of endearment when addressing a member of the opposite sex whom u do not know is NOT courtesy, its just plain inappropriate. If u don't know this I guess u still have a lot to learn. |

parisbookaddict:Typical Christians' modus operandi; when attacked by atheists they resort to holding Muslims as hostages. And they're likely if we go down, these Muslims are going down with us. Obsession of the highest order! |
| Re: Bokoharam: Islam Is Not The Cause, Religion Is. by Nobody: 9:25am On Aug 29, 2015 |
maverickboy:I believe in Plurality and It's kind.. Something Christianity should adopt... At least to make them more reasonable. |
| Re: Bokoharam: Islam Is Not The Cause, Religion Is. by bashbabe2: 10:16am On Aug 29, 2015 |
Freemanan:Pls ignore all those ignoramus calling themselves christians they are t hypocrites and liars. The violence carried out by early Christians was very profound and more violence chapter in thier bible but because the are deluded they don't say anything. Thier problem is islam and either they like it or hate it there is nothing they can do to stop the peaceful religion. BOKOHARAM are not Muslims. |

bashbabe2:@underlined, it's not confined to early Christians. They are still carrying their violence "holy war" on muslims right now but this time in 21st century, they do it another version. Look around the world today it speaks volume. But these christian hypocrites would tell they are secular. They are bunch of nincompoop. |
| Re: Bokoharam: Islam Is Not The Cause, Religion Is. by Annunaki(m): 11:56am On Aug 29, 2015 |
Freemanan:What you fail to realise is that islamic terrorists are obeying and following the instruction and example of mohamed whereas "christrian" terrorists are going against the teachings and example of Jesus. It all boils down to the teachings of the founders of the religions. Jesus preached love and peace whilst mohamed preached hatred and lived a very disdainful life. You really can't compare the two religions. It's like comparing light to darkness. |

Empiree:Ah ah, its been a while brother. How's the ministry of selling opium re branded into religion going? Annunaki:And what bout the atrocities committed by the Catholic crusaders and Dominicans aren't it christian also?. |
| Re: Bokoharam: Islam Is Not The Cause, Religion Is. by Annunaki(m): 12:15pm On Aug 29, 2015 |
joseph1832:Yes the crusaders committed atrocities and we christians condemn it cause they are going against the teachings of jesus. TIn the case of boko haram they are following the instructions of mohamed to the letter so it's their evil religion that is to blame. |
| Re: Bokoharam: Islam Is Not The Cause, Religion Is. by adewalker(m): 2:26pm On Aug 29, 2015 |
Annunaki:. "Those my enemies who will not have me reign over them,bring them here and slaughter them in front of me"....can u please tell me who said those words? |
| Re: Bokoharam: Islam Is Not The Cause, Religion Is. by maverickboy: 2:40pm On Aug 29, 2015 |
Freemanan:As much as I agree that it's normal at least to make them more reasonable as u said. It's beside the point to always seek justification in trivialising what people of their faith do and making a big deal out of others when the fact that both sides have at a point in time make humanity suffer can simply be accepted. |
| Re: Bokoharam: Islam Is Not The Cause, Religion Is. by Annunaki(m): 2:58pm On Aug 29, 2015 |
adewalker:That was a parable and if you are not intelligent enough to know what a parable is, then you need to get an education. |
| Re: Bokoharam: Islam Is Not The Cause, Religion Is. by Annunaki(m): 3:23pm On Aug 29, 2015 |
Freemanan:By absolving islam of the blame for boko haram, you are diverting attention away from the root cause of the problem and you can never solve a problem by ignoring it's root cause. Even some notable muslim leaders have admitted that islam needs to be reformed. Having instructions in a supposed holy book that muslims should continue to fight jihad till the whole world submits to their idol(allah) is a sure recipe for disaster and even you is not safe. The world shd rise united against this evil ideology and even you as a philosopher should stand against it. |
