Converson by the sword. Slave trading. Sharia Law. Religious intolerance. 7th century civilization. Kindly read your history.
Yes. Islam is the religion of peace and tolerance when it is the minority, but becomes totalitarianism and intolerance once it becomes the majority.
Between keeping up with local politics, my current state laws, local legislation, crt, transgender bs, reading the Bible, going to work, taking care of kids homework ….yea Muslim religion is not gonna make it into the top ten. You’re my best bet….kinda…
Slave trading I’ll put it as a wash bc every civilization in history has slavery under their belt.
Now is that all Muslim religion or just certain sects?
The slave trading still goes on, in Africa. Think Boko Haram. Capturing children, particularly girls. Turning them into suicide bombers. Other slavers holding chained slaves on the docks in Lagos, NIgeria (I've seen the photos). I'm given to understand this probably prevails in the Sudan, also. The Ottoman Turks were noted for prizing white slaves (thus giving the name Slav = slave).
Every despotic civilization in history has slavery under its belt. A few portions of the present civilization have expunged slavery. You get to decide whether you want your children to grow up in a slave civilization. If you are made a slave under Muslim rule, say goodbye to the Bible. Look forward to being a cursed generation.
Ok not to be a dick but I have to point out the Bible condones slavery Leviticus 25:44-46.
Also I’m pretty sure God is not religiously tolerant at all. Exodus 32
Having said that, I am Christian. I believe in God. I believe that religion has been used to divide and control the people. And I believe that all religion have been corrupted by people.
should we make a distinction between totalitarians using religious texts to fit their agenda vs the actual religion being horrible bc the Old Testament does not read well either.
Just a discussion. What are your thoughts?
If you are a Christian and not a Jew, you understand that the New Testament in Christ's Gospel replaces the Old Testament in the Law. Yes, God did not tolerate the heathen religions, but only insofar as they amounted to an obstacle for His people to fulfill their mission. Jesus did not call for His believers to slay heathens or gentiles but to preach the Gospel among them.
The Old Testament is history and instruction to a Christian, not the Testament by which we are saved.
Christ warned us against false prophets and false pastors. It requires discernment and the work of the Holy Spirit to sort this out, and to turn away from the false ones. (In this regard, the work of Martin Luther was a great service to Christendom.)
You have a choice. Stand as a member of the Church of Christ, or wave in the wind as a subject of "religion." There are all kinds of "religion." There is only one Church of Christ. BECAUSE I believe in God, I also believe in Christ, and I therefore believe in the Holy Spirit, which prevails over His Church. No other religion has that, which is enough for me to say that "religion" is a paltry and useless concept. Either you are a member of the Church of Christ (Christendom), or you are wasting your life and soul on a falsehood. It does no good to try and include the Church of Christ as merely another "religion."
Do I seem hard core? I was an atheist for 40 years, of wandering in a spiritual wilderness, and came to my senses. It would be no favor to you to soft-pedal what I learned.
