Go to Turkey and openly protest Erdogan. Nice knowing you. Nowhere in the New Testament are we told to do anything that the Koran says Muslims must do.

Im just saying i had more freedom crossing the border there and i think ive done it 3x now, i forget. One time was on lay over and i stayed in the airport

I agree with you they probably have less freedom than america when it comes to protests

The historical stories of the Old Testament are definitely violent, but the New Testament teachings of how to interact with people are not violent

Chris hedges has mentioned it but i forget if he was talking about new or old testaments

When you see Christians doing what the Koran tells Muslims they must do then get back to me.

Theres lots of muslims around here

Theyre not politically active enough.

So wat are you talking about?

 

[BadIdeaGuy]

I have no clue really? Just curious.

I'm just south of Michigan, but I couldn't tell you the last time I was anywhere near Detroit.

I only know one Muslim born UPS driver, and he can't go back to where his people were from because he broke an arranged marriage.

Super nice guy; wants nothing to do with any of that heritage at this point.

You know exactly what I'm talking about.

Yep and not all christians can have a swastika on one side of a church and a cross on the other

I went to a church and the lady on stage was talking about spreading christianity. Im good with that but dont spread a mind control version of it!

You send them money? The funny thing about that photo is in a Muslim country that would get them beaten, jailed and killed. if they held the Bible in a Christian country and did that they would be prayed for.

when we push for what is right regardless of the outcome thats what it means to bear the cross - chris hedges

 

[rickyb]

can churches advocate for human rights for all?

sure they can but they lose half their congregations which is why they dont do it LOL

churches are in decline and they become more cautious which accelerates their decline.
