Religion of Peace

[Rakehellion]

A pastor at the Bible Baptist Church in Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey is coming under fire after his church posted a video of him claiming to have converted a “smart aleck” youth by “punching him in the chest as hard as I could.”

Accept Christ as your savior or be assaulted.

Well I guess you are dead now. Crowds of Baptists even now are arming themselves with AK-47s.

And here's the non-religion of peace in action.

A most intelligent looking, superior individual, completely free from violent tendencies.

So which are you?

If the "true" religion of peace fanatics only punched people in the chest from time to time we'd all be much happier. As you can see, your attempt at equivalence was lost at conception and the premise is quite disingenuous as well.

Wow..does he have a derp face naturally?

This, exactly.

Hey, at least it's a break from claims of no difference between believing that homosexuals should not be allowed to marry and believing that homosexuals should be burned alive.

lol

 

[trenchfoot]

Nothing like beating people into the loving arms of Christ I say. Reminds me of that old adage "Beatings will continue until morale improves."

 

[DrDoug]

lol

The internet allowed me to say that with a straight face. When the phrase first crossed my mind I nearly choked to death laughing.

I know, I'm going to hell. :biggrin:

The whole purpose of violence is to make the false self, the ego, important. How much more self-important can a fool imagine himself to be than somebody who has beaten another causing the victim to belief in God. What a wonderfully satisfying sort of delusion that must be. But this is an ancient psychosis. Spare the rod and spoil the child. You have all been through it. And we do this words on this forum every day. Look, I'm doing it now, right?

Macho Man Randy Savage here to beat the LOoorrRRRrddd into you

Id rather get punched in the chest from someone speaking english, than have my entire house blown up by someone who hates me simply for existing.

 

[PokerGuy]

lol at idiotic attempt at false equivalence.

 

[Black Octagon]

Someone can hate you simply for existing and speak English too...Dick Cheney comes to mind, for example

 

[moonbogg]

He did it because he has no God in his life.


bah just kidding

 

[master_shake_]

clearly he was casting out the devil.

I don't get it. I thought people were violent because we're still primitive animals.

The only thing of any real significance in this thread is the OP actually believing he posted something significant denigrating Christianity. Surely he can do better than this transparently weak rationalization of his bigotry.

Not quite the same as tactics of ISIS/ISIL/Boko Haram/AQAP/etc.; however both evil and reprehensible. Merely a matter of degrees.

Hopefully the "pastor" will be arrested on assault and battery charges.

The problem is that people don't apply the religious teachings in their daily lives. They talk about it, they think about it but they never actually do it. For example, the teaching, "Love thy enemy." Who in this rotten world loves his enemy? Another teaching, "Love thy neighbor." Who in this world truly loves his neighbor? I doubt very few if any at all. So religion is all talk and no action. True religion is long dead. Now, it's all a big show.

Add in long beards in some religions, garbs in others, and fancy looking places of worship in others. That is what is called religion. It's all external, superficial stuff with very little substance. Even the religious leaders don't follow any of the religious teachings so how can their followers?
