And with humor my point is made. 2000 years ago Jews would punish members of their own religion for crimes of heresy and blasphemy. We don't do that anymore. Our prophets, holy books and depiction of God is fodder for ridicule, satire and rejectionist debate. We sometimes protest loudly, but take it in stride.
1000 years ago Christians would punish anyone living in their lands for crimes of heresy and blasphemy. They don't do that anymore. Their prophets, holy books and depiction of God is fodder for ridicule, satire and rejectionist debate. They sometimes protest loudly, but take it in stride 10 minitues ago Muslims called for the punishment of anyone living anywhere in the world for crimes of heresy and blasphemy. If their prophets, holy books or depiction of God is used for fodder for ridicule, satire and rejectionist debate the results CAN BE (not always will be) murderous riots and destruction. Maybe Islam, which is only 650 years younger than Christianity needs some more 'growth time' to take it in stride. > Matthias: Look, I don't think it should be a sin, just for saying > "Jehovah". ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:197755 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
