Violence.... Jeordam Send a noteboard - 24/05/2013 05:32:47 PM

I guess it depends on your definition of violence. Do you consider spanking a child violence? It is certainly a far cry from hijacking a plane and slamming it into a building. Or taking a meat cleaver to some guy on the street.

And just to point out, I found the comment "You're hilarious when you talk about your faith," both in poor taste and just generally dismissive. Where do you get off passing some type of observation or judgement off on me? It's not as though you are educated in the subject (of either me or my faith). So maybe, just maybe, you could show some civility.

Maybe it is time to start treating muslims a little differently? - 23/05/2013 03:55:28 AM 3087 Views
Nah, you're just a bigot. *NM* - 23/05/2013 08:21:33 AM 1023 Views
Yes, I am against religions that call for violence. *NM* - 23/05/2013 12:23:31 PM 941 Views
Wasn't aware you were against Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, Shinto... *NM* - 23/05/2013 12:59:04 PM 987 Views
Where does Christianity call for violence? - 23/05/2013 03:55:11 PM 1581 Views
Dueteronomy 13: 1-5 states that you must kill prophets of other religions. - 23/05/2013 07:44:48 PM 1691 Views

All the death of Christ did was attone for the sins of the world. - 26/05/2013 03:00:26 AM 1893 Views
Sorry, you are wrong. - 28/05/2013 04:17:51 PM 1680 Views
No. The New Covenant SUPPLEMENTS, not supplants, the Old. - 12/08/2013 02:45:55 AM 1966 Views
Ok....and? - 23/05/2013 10:36:55 PM 1549 Views
You might want to slap some qualifiers on there *NM* - 23/05/2013 07:50:43 PM 968 Views
Actually, I very intentionally didn't put any qualifiers on that... - 23/05/2013 10:38:24 PM 1608 Views

Whipping people to drive them away of something is violence. It's not negotiable. - 24/05/2013 06:06:42 PM 1476 Views
You are something... - 24/05/2013 06:29:03 PM 1557 Views
Also, spanking has been pretty soundly debunked as good parenting. Maybe not a good analogy. *NM* - 24/05/2013 06:16:18 PM 974 Views
Because children are more behaved now.... - 24/05/2013 06:21:43 PM 1511 Views
I don't favor spanking but the studies 'debunking it' are mostly 'bunk' - 24/05/2013 10:29:28 PM 1606 Views
Yes. - 24/05/2013 10:42:51 PM 1523 Views

You know better than that. - 25/05/2013 06:52:32 AM 1593 Views
I think you just claimed that my statement as to my opinion is anecdotal evidence of that opinion - 25/05/2013 09:26:21 AM 1685 Views
I was talking about your reference to your upbringing as relevant to the statistical trend. *NM* - 25/05/2013 09:49:19 AM 916 Views
Yes, but I wasn't claiming it was relevant in that way - 25/05/2013 10:15:52 AM 1546 Views

In the name of a religion that preaches violence? - 23/05/2013 12:21:59 PM 1634 Views
Islam "preaches" violence just about as much as Christianity does. - 23/05/2013 12:46:00 PM 1613 Views
it's actually pretty funny because many people understand Islam to, derivatively, mean peace - 23/05/2013 01:44:18 PM 1604 Views
Your argument is logically flawed - 23/05/2013 02:02:33 PM 1684 Views

I suppose that depends on which "points" precisely you thought you were making. - 23/05/2013 09:54:55 PM 1510 Views
