• Is Fred Phelps a Christia

    From TIM RICHARDSON@1:123/140 to ROSS SAUER on Sun Oct 10 07:42:00 2010
    On 10-09-10, ROSS SAUER said to ALL:


    With Fred Phelps' daughter arguing in front of the Supreme Court, (and RS>they had to disinfect the chamber after,) something I wonder about.


    Is Fred Phelps and his brood actually Christian?


    And please none of this "They aren't true Christian" nonsense either.


    I've explained this to you before, many times, but you are too thick-headed to catch on. You let your religion-hatred get in the way of your common sense, a problem that seems to be pretty ingrained with your type.


    However.......I'll try again.


    To be a Christian means to be `Christ-like'.


    Studying Christ and his life and ministry, you see a way of living that is non-violent, non-criminal, and deeply charitable.


    Osama Bin Laden is described as a Muslim.
    Meir Kahane was described as a Jew.


    Studying the life of Mohommad, you see a life of anger, forced-conversion,
    war, death, slavery, demeaning of women, hatred.


    Osama bin Laden is a Muslim. Islam is about conquering, slavery, hate,
    suicide, war, .........


    I have a question for you:


    Each time someone brings up the fact that the world of Islam is trying to
    force their `world' on the rest of the world......Klahn or you, his sock puppet, pop up with `well.....it isn't *all* Muslims, only a select few. The rest of the Muslim world is against that'....or words along that line.


    If this is true......where (oh...where!) is all this outrage from the part of the Muslim world who are against the violence? I haven't seen any. Have you?


    Also, should the 1rst Amendment apply to Phelps' stunts?


    The 1st Amendment applies to everyone.


    I say it does, since the same people that censor Phelps, can sensor anyone RS>else for any reason.


    Do you think some soldiers attending a funeral for a fallen comrade, should surround a few of the pukes holding the signs and shouting vile insults at their comrade's family, and beat the shit out of them?

    To be a Christian means to be `Christ-like'.

    Does being "Christ-like" include hatred based on religion?
    Because I keep seeing self-proclaimed Christians, including yourself,
    spew absolute hatred of *ALL* Muslims.

    Studying Christ and his life and ministry, you see a way of living
    that is non-violent, non-criminal, and deeply charitable.

    You mean like the megachurch preachers who preach about how sick our
    society is, yet they are so corrupt they stink on ice?

    Osama Bin Laden is described as a Muslim.
    Meir Kahane was described as a Jew.


    Studying the life of Mohommad, you see a life of anger,
    forced-conversion, war, death, slavery, demeaning of women, hatred.

    Studying the life of Moses and the other "heroes" of the Old Testament,
    you see the same thing.

    Osama bin Laden is a Muslim. Islam is about conquering, slavery, hate, suicide, war, .........

    Likewise the Old Testament.

    I have a question for you:


    Each time someone brings up the fact that the world of Islam is trying
    to force their `world' on the rest of the world......Klahn or you, his sock puppet, pop up with `well.....it isn't *all* Muslims, only a
    select few. The rest of the Muslim world is against that'....or words along that line.

    Oh, and Christians aren't?

    One of the heads of the Southern Baptists wants yoga outlawed, since it
    has elements of Eastern religions in it sometimes.

    Also look up "Christian Reconstructionism," and "Dominionism."

    Then tell me again how only Muslims want to take over the world.

    If this is true......where (oh...where!) is all this outrage from the
    part of the Muslim world who are against the violence? I haven't seen
    any. Have you?

    Yes, in the Sufi Muslim faith.

    Also, should the 1rst Amendment apply to Phelps' stunts?


    The 1st Amendment applies to everyone.

    anyone RS>else for any reason.

    No.
    It gives Phelps grounds for lawsuits, and that is how he and his brood
    make money.

    It also is free speech suppressed by a mob.

    Tim has never claimed to be a Christian.

    that is non-violent, non-criminal, and deeply charitable.

    You mean like the megachurch preachers who preach about how sick our society is, yet they are so corrupt they stink on ice?

    No, not at all.

    Osama Bin Laden is described as a Muslim.
    Meir Kahane was described as a Jew.


    Studying the life of Mohommad, you see a life of anger,
    forced-conversion, war, death, slavery, demeaning of women, hatred.

    No you don't.

    Osama bin Laden is a Muslim. Islam is about conquering, slavery, hate,

    Likewise the Old Testament.

    Nope.

    I have a question for you:


    Each time someone brings up the fact that the world of Islam is trying
    to force their `world' on the rest of the world......Klahn or you, his
    sock puppet, pop up with `well.....it isn't *all* Muslims, only a

    along that line.

    Oh, and Christians aren't?

    Nope.

    One of the heads of the Southern Baptists wants yoga outlawed, since it has elements of Eastern religions in it sometimes.

    And your point is?

    Also look up "Christian Reconstructionism," and "Dominionism."

    Which has what to do with this discussion?

    Then tell me again how only Muslims want to take over the world.

    The Qu'ran calls for Islam to take over the world. Nowhere in the Bible does it
    state that "infidels" should be converted by the sword.

    If this is true......where (oh...where!) is all this outrage from the
    part of the Muslim world who are against the violence? I haven't seen
    any. Have you?

    Yes, in the Sufi Muslim faith.

    So says your hero Klahn, but he and you don't know what you are talking about.

    Also, should the 1rst Amendment apply to Phelps' stunts?


    The 1st Amendment applies to everyone.


    I say it does, since the same people that censor Phelps, can sensor
    anyone RS>else for any reason.


    Do you think some soldiers attending a funeral for a fallen comrade,

    insults at their comrade's family, and beat the shit out of them?

    No.
    It gives Phelps grounds for lawsuits, and that is how he and his brood make money.

    Uh... the lawsuit was brought by the family of a young man killed in action in Iraq.

    It also is free speech suppressed by a mob.

    Huh?

    To be a Christian means to be `Christ-like'.


    Does being "Christ-like" include hatred based on religion?


    Obviously, you have never studied the New Testament and the life of Jesus Christ, you are just shotgunning bullshit out there. Which is one of the
    *many* reasons you are considered inconsequential.


    Because I keep seeing self-proclaimed Christians, including yourself, RS>spew absolute hatred of *ALL* Muslims.


    Secondly, you are a bald-faced liar. You get these little images of what
    others think or opine, and you post them out here and try to force
    the person you are targeting at the moment into `that' image as `what they are'. A trick Klahn employs on a pretty regular basis, which is one of the reasons I don't ever talk to him. He's a jerk. So are you.


    Oh, and by the way.....I have more than once pointed out that *I* am not exactly what you'd call a "Christian". I align with Christians because they
    are not only good people, and enrich my life in ways that like...say...you or Klahn, for instance, do not. I would align with Christians any day of the week before I'd *ever* align with the likes of you.


    Studying Christ and his life and ministry, you see a way of living
    that is non-violent, non-criminal, and deeply charitable.


    You mean like the megachurch preachers who preach about how sick our RS>society is, yet they are so corrupt they stink on ice?


    You surely know how to read, and you are aware at this point in your life that words mean things.


    So.....when you read that sentence of mine up these that says:


    "Studying Christ and his life and ministry, you see a way of living that is non-violent, non-criminal, and deeply charitable." ....


    Quite obviously I was talking about *Christ-like* behavior.


    As for those you call "megachurch preachers who preach about how sick our society is.....", I am not the one who judges their activities, nor am I responsible for what they ascribe to their particular version of `Christianity'. That is left to Another of much Higher Authority than I.


    I do not take part in their megachurch, nor do I support them with money or verbal endorsement.


    `They' are ultimately responsible for what they do, not I.


    So you can take me out of your little scenario.


    Osama Bin Laden is described as a Muslim.
    Meir Kahane was described as a Jew.


    Studying the life of Mohommad, you see a life of anger,
    forced-conversion, war, death, slavery, demeaning of women, hatred.


    Studying the life of Moses and the other "heroes" of the Old Testament, RS>you see the same thing.


    Again.....you obviously know nothing about the bible, either the old testament or the new.


    Osama bin Laden is a Muslim. Islam is about conquering, slavery, hate, suicide, war, .........


    Likewise the Old Testament.


    We do not live in the days of the old testament. This is the 21st century. All new norms and customs govern people who live today than several thousand years ago.


    I have a question for you:


    Each time someone brings up the fact that the world of Islam is trying
    to force their `world' on the rest of the world......Klahn or you, his
    sock puppet, pop up with `well.....it isn't *all* Muslims, only a
    select few. The rest of the Muslim world is against that'....or words
    along that line.


    Oh, and Christians aren't?


    It wasn't Christians who hijacked jumbo jets and flew them into the World
    Trade Center and the Pentagon, murdering thousands of Americans in a suicide attack.


    It was Muslims.


    Where the world may have been outraged at it, the Muslim world has been strangely silent on condemning the radical muslim terrorists who roam the
    world murdering people in the name of Islam.


    It is said that many `good' Muslims do condemn those who did 9\11.


    Really? Where are they? We keep `hearing' about them from different people.. ....but where are they? Why are they so silent?


    One of the heads of the Southern Baptists wants yoga outlawed, since it RS>has elements of Eastern religions in it sometimes.


    When the Southern Baptists get it on a ballot, and it ends up in the Supreme Court.......get back to me.


    Also look up "Christian Reconstructionism," and "Dominionism."


    `Reconstructionism' really has nothing whatever to do with your line of argument. I know what it is, and you obviously don't.


    By the way......neither does `Dominionism'.


    Then tell me again how only Muslims want to take over the world.


    You are off here by several orders of magnitude. You better stop digging.


    If this is true......where (oh...where!) is all this outrage from the
    part of the Muslim world who are against the violence? I haven't seen
    any. Have you?


    Yes, in the Sufi Muslim faith.



    Oh really? You'd be the only one, then, `cause I haven't seen any outrage from Muslims.


    When one of these ragheaded imams issues a death sentence for someone who drew a cartoon `dissing' Mohommad, where was the outrage? Why isn't the U.S. press jumping all over it? We have a reporter here in the US in hiding with her
    whole family because of a death sentence issued by a raghead in a foreign country! Where's the outrage!


    Also, should the 1rst Amendment apply to Phelps' stunts?


    The 1st Amendment applies to everyone.


    I say it does, since the same people that censor Phelps, can sensor
    anyone else for any reason.


    Do you think some soldiers attending a funeral for a fallen comrade,
    should surround a few of the pukes holding the signs and shouting vile insults at their comrade's family, and beat the shit out of them?


    No.


    It gives Phelps grounds for lawsuits, and that is how he and his brood RS>make money.


    It also is free speech suppressed by a mob.


    What `mob'? Unless you mean Phelp's `mob' waving the hate signs and shouting `hate' speech. One of the Phelp's group'd be bound to swing a sign at a soldier's face or head, and the reaction would be self-defense in a mutual combat situation. If it were a platoon of Marines from Camp Pendelton, or a platoon of Navy Seals.....all the better. I'd have no problem with it.


    Or all the better......get up in a sign-waver's face `Drill Sergeant' style, and shout stuff like `YOU LITTLE MAGGOT! YOU COWARDLY EXCUSE OF AN AMERICAN! YOU LEFTIST PIECE OF PIG DUNG! YOU JOCK-STRAP-SUCKIN` PUNK!'


    See now......thats also protected speech......even if it `is' true! And I'd have no proble with that, either.


    But none of that's gonna happen. I wouldn't initiate any of that for the same reasons I have objections to what Phelps and his bunch are doing; simple
    common decency. A trait the leftwing democrats appear to lack.


    See......if it were a funeral for some deserter who either made his way back
    to the US from a war zone after going AWOL, or some ass clown who was virulently vocal against the war......and a bunch of people who believed in a strong military, and a strong reaction to terrorist act, were standing nearby waving signs in support of the war on terror at *their* funeral, the outrage
    of the press and TV talking heads would be enormous!


    With democrats in power....they'd be trying to pass even stricter `hate
    speech' laws to cover that......probably get one or more through, to!


    Let me ask you another question:


    Some nutcase shoots and kills an abortion clinic doctor.


    How many Christian churches organize large groups with anti-abortion signs to picket that doctor's funeral, shouting insults at the family? Or loudly reading off the names of the `mothers' who's pregnancies the dearly departed doctor ended with his\or\her abortion procedure?


    I wouldn't do that, either, but........would that be jake with you?
