Matter of fact' date=' Christians and Catholics have managed to make a few scientifical discoveries and contributions. I think a Christian developed the scientific method. I can't remember.

 

However, some people go overboard, and instead of first using their empathy, and try to put themselves in another's position, they immediately skip to the condemn and "YOU IZ WRONG AND GOIN' TO HELL" part.

 

[b']What these people did wasn't necessarily was wrong, because they were simply teaching about their faith in another country, it's not like they were condemning people and shoving their opinions down their throats, but rather just preaching.[/b]

 

Thank You.

 

The thing is, in the Bible it says that homo-sexuality is wrong. So if they went there teaching people that its wrong, and the government decided to do that, what wrong is that? It's like if a bunch of evolutionists went there and promoted that, then the government banned religion.

 

What's the difference? Just people preaching what they believe.

If homosexuality is declared wrong in the bible, then why did Jizzus have a harem of 12 men?

Yeah, the government should have realized that the priest was just kidding about how homosexuals were demons who would destroy the country if they weren't jailed immediately. Silly government.

 

In other news, Hitler Stalin (to avoid Godwin's Law) was a pretty cool guy because, while he may have caused a much higher death toll than Hitler, he didn't go around stabbing people himself. All the deaths were caused by people doing what he told them to do, and it's clearly his underlings' fault for not realizing that he was just kidding when he said "Fire!".

If a bunch of "evolutionists" were to go into a country and inform the government that the very existence of religion would spread evil and disease and would insantly doom the country to doomy dooms of doom and that religion must be exterminated at all costs, and the government were to then turn around and ban religion, then yes, that would be the "evolutionists'" fault for exactly the same reason. However, such "evolutionists" don't actually exist, whereas these preachers quite clearly do.

[Pudpop]

Well, according to Dark's originaal post, they didn't go around saying that they were demons etc. Just promoted Christianity and anti-homosexuality. If Dark didn't write down what they actually said, then don't blame me for my original post. And If there aren't 'evolutionists' who go around saying how bad Christianity is and that they are right, then a llama is sitting on my bed reciting the Oxford school dictionary word for word. Euronyme's sig is all I can say.

No. "Evolutionists" will often speak out against anti-intellectualism that is in part fueled by Christianity. "Evolutionists" will often speak out against attempts to discredit evolution and teach religion in the science classroom of public schools because, duh, science does not mean what the Discovery Institute would like it to mean. And "evolutionists" may not be religious and may even look upon being religious as stupid. But you'll be hard-pressed to find "evolutionists" who claim that religion is evil and will kill everyone and needs to be banned for the good of the world; in fact, virtually all "evolutionists" believe in freedom of religion.

 

Granted, I'm sure there are some extremists who want religion banned, but there are extremists on all sides, and the anti-science movement has far more - you'll note that the Intelligent Design movement has far more supporters than the Hey Let's Repeal The First Amendment's Whole Freedom Of Religion Thing It's Sort Of A Drag And I Hate Jesus Movement.

 

But if some hypothetical "evolutionists" were to walk into an African nation and claim that Christianity causes cancer or something like that, and that country were to then ban religion, then yes, that would also be wrong for the same reason that this is wrong.

 

Euronyme's sig is all I can say.

 

I don't know what Eurynome's sig is right now, and I'm too lazy to look it up.

Don't forget that wearing clothes of different materials is also a sin in the Bible. And you must also sacrifice a lamb.

Careful though, God might kill all firstborns and banish you from Earth and punish you forever for eating fruit.

[Theseus]

You see, people, is that Christians, however much they preach tolerance of other peoples, will always be intolerant, for example the Ku Klux Klan. In fact, Uganda is simply a poor country in the middle of a civil war in which they are using CHILDREN to fight.

 

You'd think the Christians would go to help that cause, but unfortunately, they simply go because homosexuals. I see nothing wrong with gay marriage. Gays have sex with other gays, so it only kills of the gay population through AIDS. But unfortunately, that is not the case. We have homosexual people IN THIS COUNTRY. Why don't Christians try to--- OH WAIT...

[Dark]

Let's not try to get off topic. I could care less what religion you are or how tolerant you think you are of others. This topic is strictly about how the Evangelical Church went to some random country and thought they could force anti-gay ideas onto the population.

 

Bolded for emphasis.

[Theseus]

^-^ Sorry, Dark. I think that a church declaring that homosexuality is wrong is not their choice. I vote that we set up "The First Church of Gay Jesus." That would get some supporters. And some haters, but whatever. Uganda is in a pretty poor state right now. If they were going over to TREAT people and teach them about AIDS and how not to pass it, I'd be fine, but it makes me so angry that what they do in America is now being spread to the third world.

I'm not a very religious person (lol' date=' no s[b'][/b]hit), so can you explain me the difference between that church and a generic Catholic church in this matter?

 

Either way I see it, it's a religious institution trying to impose their wrong beliefs onto an already unstable country. Furthermore, it's an example of how religious leaders think they do good when they really just screw things up... bad.

[Guest JoshIcy]

Keep the religious talk out. Their beliefs have a hold on their choices, but they are all people first.

[Brushfire]

Not all religious people attempt to force their beliefs on others. Some, if not most, maintain enough intelligence to see all views and yet still support their faith.

 

You tried to use this as an attack on all Chrstians when these were clearly evangelical extremists that brainwashed a government.

I was asking the difference between an Evangelical church and a Catholic church; while it may be religious talk, the answer only consists of factual material. If that leads to flaming, the person who flames is the idiot in this matter.

I did not try to use this as an attack on all Christians. I may have implied it to you, but that was not my intent, nor did I state it. I was simply posting a topic I'd seen on TV, and to allow intellectual discussion amongst the forum.

It definitely seemed like it with the whole "this is a clear example of Chrstian's forcing their beliefs on others". But okay.

 

Also, intellectual discussion? On YCM?

Indeed, most people are people. However, some people forget that other people are people. And when that horrible failure of memory causes them to stop treating other people as people, a problem exists even though these people are still people.

[Dark]

No, this is an example of any religion attempting to impose their beliefs on others. Why would I target only Christianity when the majority of religions do things like this?

 

And I was horribly wrong when I said intellectual discussion. So just make it 'discussion'.

Yes, like in the case of Germans seeing Jews as the problem that caused the depression after the first world war. :D I got it.

Please define 'majority of religions'. I'm pretty sure there are like 6 major religions.
