In contrast you have Jesus cursing a fig tree to death and killing a bunch of pigs

You don't know the biblical narrative. Jesus cast out of a man, demons that had been tormenting the man. The demons found the nearest living things to kill.

But of course you do not believe in the Creator, or demons. You just love to bash the only source of hope and life we have. And that sounds quite demonic to me.

A religion based on pathological conditions is not just worthless but harmful.

The Christian faith is the most loving and helpful faith ever as it is based in Christ Jesus whose Spirit lives in us. Christians have done more for the poor, homeless, fatherless, motherless, and oppressed than any other group in the history of man.

Aside from the Crusades, this is very true, and wonderfully stated. We must be clear on this point. The Crusades were financed by Rome, and that so called church that resides there.

The European wars of religion were a series of religious wars waged in Europe from ca. 1524 to 1648, following the onset of the Protestant Reformation in Central, Western and Northern Europe. Although sometimes unconnected, all of these wars were strongly influenced by the religious change of the period, and the conflict and rivalry that it produced. This is not to say that the combatants can be neatly categorised by religion or were divided by their religion alone, as this was often not the case.

Individual conflicts that can be distinguished within this topic include:

Conflicts immediately connected with the Reformation of the 1520s to 1540s:
The German Peasants' War (1524–1525)
The battle of Kappel in Switzerland (1531)
The Schmalkaldic War (1546–1547) in the Holy Roman Empire
The Eighty Years' War (1568–1648) in the Low Countries
The French Wars of Religion (1562–1598)
The Thirty Years' War (1618–1648), affecting the Holy Roman Empire including Habsburg Austria and Bohemia, France, Denmark and Sweden
The Wars of the Three Kingdoms (1639–1651), affecting England, Scotland and Ireland
Scottish Reformation and Civil Wars
English Reformation and Civil War
Irish Confederate Wars and the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland
Although later wars such as the Nine Years' War (1688–97) had a religious component that was important locally in some arenas, they were more fundamentally undertaken for political reasons, with coalitions forming across religious divisions. Purely political motivations and cross-religious alliances were also significant in many of the earlier wars.

Well said I agree with your vision, but the big problem you see is that the hippies from the 1960's are older than dirt today. A lot of them grew up, cut their hair, created multi-billion dollar multi national companies that decimated our natural resources as well as bankrupt nations of any remaining wealth for future generations.



All is not lost my Bohemian brother. There are still hippie relics like Bernie Sanders still around,. He’ll elevate our species once again so we can have the same rights as our dogs. Anyways we’ve made progress since the influence of religion has be neutralized in our Western culture. I mean really. Had religion continued to rear its ugly head, we'd have to know that Caitlyn Jenner once had(or still has) testicles. Godless equality and flower power my brother, acid is still groovy, don’t lose hope ok? Peace lol

Did your mother drop you on your head as a child?

Peace

Dear Popeye,
can you bless the believers on this forum with act of sacrifice? Take a ride on your boat about 10 miles offshore. Shackle your leg to 300lb anchor , leave the key on the boat then, throw the anchor overboard into the Gulf of Mexico Pretty sure even the sharks won’t have anything to do with the tainted blood that flows through your varicose veins. So all you’ll really have to be concerned with is whether or not your lungs will fill up with saltwater or that you’ll be featured on Unsolved Mysteries, but at least this forum will be rid and sanctified of your nefarious presence. lol

I dont condone hateful statements but I will say that this is what Sail and the others are trying to get out of others. Sail and the others have no intention of accepting Truth. They know God is real but simply refuse to accept Him. In the mean time people be smarter than them and ignore them, not letting them provoke you as they try so hard to do.

So what's your plan????

The Christian faith is the most loving and helpful faith ever as it is based in Christ Jesus whose Spirit lives in us. Christians have done more for the poor, homeless, fatherless, motherless, and oppressed than any other group in the history of man.

My plan is we gas up the boat, my treat ASAP

So what you're saying is.......

You're bragging about who's doing what, in your church, but in the same breath condemning others in saying it doesn't matter who does what ,as long as people get fed.
I smell a hypocrite.

Well, I can't see Duchessa's posts for one thing.


Obviously it's just you and Duchessa, who care, and are apparently pointing the finger at each other.

You are hysterical

Well, opinions are like buttholes,....... every one has one

In your case ..... I suggest you remove your head.

Peace

Don't be offended by her block..She blocked me a while back ago too.
She's quick on that drawl with that block button..

What falls under everything?

There is no question that mere "religion" can be very destructive and evil. We see this to our detriment with Islamic extremist terrorists.

We must also remember that they were very religious people that murdered Jesus.

Why did they want Jesus killed?

He gave hope to people, like no one else did.
