Christians in Pakistan Killed

[skidadl]

Smitty, I don't think that your understanding that my friend and his family has helped plant over 200 churches in Pakistan. And yes I understand that's at the cost of his life and he understands that. But to say make it seem like there's no progress being made for the sake of the gospel is untrue. And if someone feels they truly are setting others free and they're willing to die for that then that kind of shakes me as far as my own laziness and love of my own comfort.

As far as the other thing that you said that's exactly my point. That's exactly what I'm trying to talk about. That if Christians get taken over it's their own fault.

Just so I can move on with this debate in peace...Schmitty...you still think Islamic radicals are friendly if we give them cell phones?

Burners or i phones?

 

[boozeman]

Burners or i phones?

I think it was iPhones.

 

[L.T. Fan]

I think it was iPhones.

I apparently missed that line. I still have the same one I bought 3 years ago and holy cow, I paid for it.

No, and I've never thought that.

I think an extended time of economic development will change their cultural values like it has ours.

I don't have the energy for one of these.

It's probably gonna go alot quicker than hundreds of years, too...what with the internet and all.

Once they start educating and empowering women it is game over. Same thing that drives progress everywhere.

I started to reply, but have been over religious stuff so often, especially with superpunk, that I'm with you. I don't have the energy for it, either.

Now, let me get a few more beers in me and we may rock and roll.

More or less.

Protip: It is 93% the exact same as the bible. The other 7% is the mind-numbingly awful books of Chronicles, wherein we learn that Bathbahathshazaar begat Joseph, who begat Athmashazar, Rhamadamadingdong and James, the father of Rehobothshelchemech. Everything else is identical.

This is at least 93% false.

And also about warning everyone how awful Muslims are.

Peace-loving terrorists

Today at football practice during our halftime devotional time interesting thing happened. I was telling the story about the church getting blown up when another one of our coaches spoke up. He is a Marine they got part of his body blown off during an attack from the Taliban. When he interjected he basically wanted all the kids to know that most of the Muslims are not like that. He was trying to make a point tonight eight people because of their religion. I thought it was a pretty interesting point considering the source.

I don't know what half time devotional time at practice has to do sports. I just don't. It annoys me big time. What has one got to do with the other?

Christian school, maybe?

And why would this annoy you? You have nothing better to do than be bothered by others practicing their faith when it in no way affects you?

Forget I spoke. I went to religious schools from the age of 4, still not understanding why sports are a part of religion. I just don't get it. Sorry.

Carl, I know you can't understand this but Christianity is not a casual thing. It is not part of the believers life like work or a hobby. Christianity is first and all other things are a part of that.

Ok, fair, but is that how it should be. There are so many other things going on in this life. I am happy with my faith. I pray every night for strength and protection. After that, I think its on me.

 

[skidadl]

Well, if you are talking about the faith of the bible then no is the answer.

It's not a self-hell program strictly for your benifit.

It's also not an occasional shout out to God either.

I'm not trying to offend your beliefs or anything. I am just giving trying to answer your question.

If you don't indoctrinate and brainwash them while they're young, they'll never believe it.

Exactly what the public school system has done the last 40ish years.
