Pro Rege Papers

I’ve been reading over a few of the things that were said during the whole debate with Percival about bigotry with Islam. If you haven’t read the posts containing that debate, I recommend them for insight into the theological liberal and agnostic mind. I’m going to give some of the highlights of the ignorance of what they said. With some of it you laugh, some of them you feel pity for the people.

WARNING: EXTREME IGNORANCE THAT WILL SHOCK YOU AHEAD!

Well, here goes:

Homo Escapeons:

it is absurd to divide people into good or bad…
people are either charming or tedious.

Sirbarret:

The religious origins of Muslim, Christian and Judaism all stem from a philosophy of love, charity, and peace.

Boneman: (this non-Christian is pretty preachy)

Am I t’understand that Altusius is now judging who is and isn’t a christian by what he does or does not believe in?…

christians killed Christ, so, how can you say that about killing?…[[shaking my head from this point on]]
GOD LOVES FAGS! The fact that yer misunderstanding the bible doesn’t diminish that one bit…

you’re a christian, which right now, I definately doubt…

Paul didn’t even know he was going t’be put in the bible. His aim and method he plainly stated, t’be a chameleon (paraphrased) fer GOD and who he called Christ, though, his tongue may have gotten away from him a bit…

GOD has the say as t’who comes and goes. And, according t’a few phrases, all enter. ALL enter. Even you, altusius.Even you who stand there at the gates of heaven and can’t get in are now trying yer best t’keep others out.
Pretty good going,….

I count myself a christian [with an un-capitalized “c”]

Paul and I will have long, fine conversations on what has been called what it is called, but, then we will laugh and live in the LIGHT.
I hope you will be there with us.

Lady Wordsmith:

It is my quest for spaces of Zen between the paryers of my Rosary Beads

Percival:

…the Christian Nazis…

He [Althusius] wants to defend his preexisting views - period. [[step back in horror]]

I asked you above in this thread to take one point from your last post to discuss and gave my reasons for wanting to take this approach.[I explicitly gave him one] Instead, I find another personalized and desultory comment.[I was critiquing another personalized and desultory comment]

Bird:

…christian conviction may not be accompanied by a sword, but it is destructive and hurtful of its own accord, and is a one of the underlying causesof discord in the US…

i believe in many absolutes - i believe i will always love my children regardless of their actions. i believe there is no one, right way to worship god. i believe that religious philosophy is merely a construct to help us guide our lives.

the god i know and love, the god i pray to, the god that guides me, would not send anyone to hell for rejecting your brand of christianity. so am not in fear of going to hell. and really, if that is how god truly is (an aboslute) then to hell with god. i defy god. but i don’t think god is like that at all. [no capital “g”]

i do not know if there is a universal truth and i really don’t care.

ah, you think i reject the bible? not at all. i find it quite enlightening and useful. but i do reject the notion that it is divinely inspired…

There are many more, but I’ll leave you at that. It’s sad, really.
