Is it me or are liberals now routinely anti Christian and anti Semitic?

I think if the majority of people see nothing wrong with it, yes. Is there anything wrong with putting up a displaying for a special religious Holiday? I don't think so.

 

How is putting a religious Holiday display up on the court house lawn waving it in your face? I haven't driven past my court house in months. Even if I did, it wouldn't be like waving it in your face.

 

I wouldn't consider that waving it in my face.

Agreed

 

God's TRUTH and you know it.

 

So America was founded by Christians that hurt no one settling the land, even though it belonged to someone else..Where in the Bible does it say it is okay to take by force that which belongs to another human?

 

Adam had a wife before Eve, Lilith, she split the scene man, didn't like being controlled by a spirit and a man...

 

Of course the bible state it is more then ok to wiped out whole peoples in order for example Moses and his tribe to have a new home land.

Hell Moses was very annoyed when his army did not at once follow his order to killed all the women and children but for the young women who had yet to know a man of a people who crime was living on land that the Israelites desire.

 

Romans adopted Christianity as their official religion but expelled Jews from their borders. Nothing "Judeo-Christian" about the Roman Empire...same for Ancient Greece and such.

Judaism, Christianity and Islam have been in conflict for two millenia. "Judeo-Christian values" makes about as much sense as "Judeo-Islamic values" or "Christiano-Islamic values".

 

Jews are generally liberal is antisimitic? Whodathunk!

 

Are you referring to religion that has been the cause of untold millions of deaths? Religion where priests molested children for decades? THIS is the religion I'm supposed to practice to make the world a better place??? No thanks. I'll stick with what my parents taught me.

 

The stories about Joshua's conquests and great armies are fiction.. Never happened. The Hebrews were creating national heroes and an epic history.

 

There is some anti-semitism on the left, but I've faced far, far, far more anti-semitism on the right. Most of our positive Western values can be traced to the Greeks. The Golden Rule predates Jesus, and the Bible often goes against the Golden Rule. And the Bible says that, at times, God has supported plunder, rape, enslavement, infanticide, etc.

 

It's you. Otherwise, the majority of Christians and Jews would be joining the Trumped GOP.

 

I don't think liberals are anti-Semitic in the least. They are becoming increasingly critical of Israel, but that's not the same thing.
As for anti-Christian: I think that they do not extend the tolerance to Christians, for doing or believing things liberals don't like, that they readily extend to Muslims.

Many liberals have a kind of abstract approach to politics: if something is a 'right' according to them, then it must be uniformly, immediately enforced. At least where Christians are concerned. With this sort of thinking, there is no room for common sense, for toleration, for gradual evolution of popular attitudes.

On the Right ... I guess you could say this ... you find this rigid attitude among some Libertarians.

For people who think like this, if reality clashes with theory, so much the worse for reality.

I see nothing in the New Testament that says anything like that.

 

Nothing of that in the New Testament.

 

Is the God of the NT a different God? Does the NT call all of the evil of the OT as being evil or does it accept it?

 

A central them of the Bible was the taking of occupied land by force.
God advised the invaders, Jews, to "utterly destroy" the previous occupants. The Israelis ignored that last part.

A lot of you want to blame it on Christianity. Who's fault is it if people who are suppose to be Christians, do unChristian like acts? Do you blame the law because some people break it?

You don't think people have been killed in the name of religion? There are countless examples of religiously motivated wars and genocides. Are you denying this?
And where did I blame Christianity? I blamed religion.

 

Beside the point one way or the other as the bible does indeed approved of the wiping out of whole peoples.

So your branch of Christianity only accept the new testament an not the old testament?

My branch? The New Testament covers Christianity. The Old Testament covers laws to the Jews, although some have been incorporated into the New Testament, like the Ten Commandments. Christians are not required to make animal sacrifices or kill anyone. They are taught love, forgiveness.

Is there anything in the New Testament that tell anyone to kill? People read into it what they want. Not what it actually says. There are many different religions. I don't follow them, only one.
