Why is the fucking obvious always so lost on you?

Why do you always need to go to the absurd?

I beg to differ.

I've not seen too many kind words of any kind for Christians, yourself included.

:p

See?

You're just pushing buttons for the grins.

You know damn good and well lumping ALL muslims into a "hate" category is just as wrong as someone calling all Christians murdering barbarians.

His analogies and comparisons are always weak, and way off the mark.

No, when I see hypocritical behavior, I call it out.

Slams of Christianity are usually welcome around here, but if some Canadian spouts off about Muslims, he's a 'racist sumbitch'.

You can call me a racist, just as long as I can call you one. Then it'll lose any of it's meaning here, like everything else.

Well, then you're either stupid, or unable to read basic posts.

I have NEVER lumped ALL Christians into one group.

I constantly call out pseudo-Christians like ELVIS, which are absolute hypocrites.

Well, then you're either stupid, or unable to read basic posts.

I have NEVER lumped ALL Christians into one group.

I constantly call out pseudo-Christians like ELVIS, which are absolute hypocrites.

Where does it say in the Bible that Christians are perfect, Lounge? Christians can be just as hypocritical as you usually are.

[LoungeMachine]

Call them what they are, dumbass.

But ONE BILLION MUSLIMS DIDN'T COMMIT THESE ACTS.


Should all Christians pay the price for BUSH'S CRIMES?

[franksters]

And I am not mentionning the daily disgust towards american and the U.N. coming From ''THEM'' on a daily basis...

Regardless all their superstitions, and all the stuff we here and see about women and everything else...

Ok Ford, Lounge,

How should I call the people who did these acts:

WHO GIVES A FUCK??

Whoa! You mean some groups, often with completely separate (and competing) agendas, goals, beliefs, ethnic backgrounds have committed terrorist acts?

Do you hate Jews because the State of Israel was founded by a "terrorist group" that used bombings against British soldiers to achieve their statehood and ethnically cleansed Israel of most Muslim (and Christian) Arabs?

So should Christians be, whatever you advocate for "Muslims," since they are responsible for the bloodiest wars ever fought like WWI, WWII, and the Cold War?

Fire up the gas chambers!

Fucking retard!

I so tired of these French Canuck dipshits...

It's like the same five posts over and over...

[franksters]

If you think that they are not as 1, you are the dumbass, or simply extremely naive...

[FORD]

I think franco-racist just made this a dupe thread, or at the very least pulled a "4morequeers" with that obvious chain letter spam list.

Either way the shit's been posted here more than once before.

[Warham]

Why don't you guys defend Christians with this kind of fervor?

I've never seen such gusto before.

[franksters]

can somebody answer the question.

And Nick, don't be so racist towards canadians...
