Sharia Law at Wal Mart [Trigger Warning: People Arguing With Ben]

[loinburger]

For the same reason that Protestants argue that Catholics support Idolatry, fwiw. My point stands. If you're executing someone, chances are you don't believe you worship the same God.

So Protestants and Catholics don't worship the same god? Or do all of those wars and executions during and after the Reformation not count for some absurd reason?

[Bereta_Eder]

pogroms were for the capitalists, they were bad people (they were christian)

(no seriously)

[Ben Kenobi]

Ah, so if a Jew said "Christians don't worship the same god as the Jews because Christians have killed millions of Jews," you'd respond "Oh come on, Christians have slaughtered at most a few hundred thousand Jews "

You made a claim. I suggest you provide a citation for your claim that Christians have killed millions of Jews.

Luther justified his execution of Dissenters on this principle, fwiw, so I can only conclude that Protestants don't believe that other Protestants believe in the same God.

How did the Papacy justify the execution of Protestants?

[Bereta_Eder]

jesus. how many gods are there?

[Ben Kenobi]

how come catholic nations have bloodbathed eachother for decades?

Not in religious wars. That last time majority Catholic nations went to war with each other was when? War of the Austrian Succession in the Maria Theresa War?

[Ben Kenobi]

How did the Papacy justify the execution of Protestants?

The Papacy wasn't the one doing the executions. Better question would be why Bonnie Queen Bess justified execution of Catholic priests and laypeople.

Her justification is that it was considered Treason to go to Mass.

I'm not going to waste my time looking up an estimate that you're just going to summarily reject ("That source isn't Catholic enough" or whatever). Instead, how about you provide your own estimate: how many Jews have been killed by Christians over the past thousand or so years?

[Bereta_Eder]

so catholics can kill catholics if it's not a religious war. ok
i hope god can forgive them because it was not in his name

[loinburger]

The Papacy wasn't the one doing the executions.

The Inquisition doesn't count?

Well then, that settles that question, no?

The Inquisition doesn't count?

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.

Did Pinochet worship the same god as the people he executed? Or were they all godless communists?

[loinburger]

Well then, that settles that question, no?

In your estimation, how many Jews have been murdered by Christians over the past thousand or so years?

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.

So, the Inquisition doesn't count?
