So looks like this guy didn't burn a book after all... but it didn't stop all those moderate Muslims abroad from burning flags and having violent demonstrations.

So this guy TALKS about burning a book and it causes international fury. In 2007, Palestinians bust into a church and destroyed about everything they could get their hands on. Do you remember the international fury over that? I don't.

I very much don't get why people constantly make arguments centered around "Yeah, well some other guys did worse stuff!". The fact that a group isn't engaging in the worst behavior out there doesn't make their behavior OK, or even any better. Especially when the arguments almost always use actions of groups the arguer obviously dislikes as the standard for comparison.

Now if you're talking about selective outrage, I'm not sure it's that selective at all. I can't speak for anyone else, but I hold my fellow Americans to a higher standard than people in other countries, because that higher standard is what makes our country great in the first place. If Muslim-Americans had burned flags or destroyed Bibles in protest, I would find that equally stupid. But while I'm not a huge fan of Afghans burning American flags, it honestly just doesn't bother me as much. Maybe because I care way less about them screwing up the values in their own country than I do for people fucking with mine.

It's all about selective outrage. It's not about Americans vs. non-Americans. It's about Muslims vs. other religions. The fact that people are foaming over the mouth about a hypothetical burning but ignoring actual burnings and deaths makes it more absurd.

POPE has no authority from God only Rome and the Lie religion they created.

I am intrigued by your post and I would like to learn more. Why is this POPE intentionally deceiving people? Do you capitalize all of his letters because he is the holiest of holies?

Learn the true History of the HRCC and you will know everthing you need to know . It was all about Power and control of the nasses. Give hope but offer none in its hierarchy.

This occurred because the living word told his 12 followers that what the establish on earth comes from Gods authority.
Ceasar of rome being intelligent in the matters of government and ts control over the masses seen this Christian religion as a means to extend that control over the Masses.

But The Living word himself did say . I have come to fullifill the law not change it . He did also say make not laws least ye be bound by them .

The Pope threw deception did allow false graven images and did change the worship day to Sunday . The Romans were in fact Sun worshippers.

The Roman form of Christian beliefs is a Lie and Has little or nothing to do with Christ and the worship of God Almighty.

Now the Hard part for all to absorb . A true Christian that believes in the after life has nothing to fear from the first death and Christ did teach this . So a true Christian can NOT KILL FOR ANY REASON . Because the first death is as nothing. Energy can't be destroyed only transformed this is a scientific fact.
Sorry but the majority of christians are following pagan beliefs and shall not take part in the second life.

I will give ya a starting place , You can take it from here.
