@mariasstudyblr @Colossis2 Show me one legitmate Christian scholar that has interpreted either to require followers to harm nonbelievers. Shows you haven't read NT
@Colossis2 @mariasstudyblr @insertdedmeme It seems to me that Islam advocates for much more violence than Christianity. Several rational interpretations include some violence
@Colossis2 @mariasstudyblr @insertdedmeme I agree with that. But Christianity generally believes that the old law of the OT was traded in for the new law of the NT.
@Colossis2 @mariasstudyblr @insertdedmeme Clear interpretation is that someday Jesus will certainly be violent to nonbelievers. Aka judgment day. No call for followers to act at all
@Colossis2 @mariasstudyblr @insertdedmeme And those somehow are telling his followers to be violent? Historically no people have interpreted either of those to mean that
@Colossis2 @mariasstudyblr @insertdedmeme Uhh where are you getting that from? The new testament is widely interpreted as advocating only peaceful evangelism
@Colossis2 @mariasstudyblr @insertdedmeme Ironic. Many atheists (disbelieving religion) then enforce their views upon theists... historically often through violence (ex. Stalin)
@Colossis2 @mariasstudyblr @insertdedmeme It's also ironic. You are arguing definitions while your graphic states that arguing them is merely a distraction.
@Fishtiks@Colossis2@insertdedmeme @mariasstudyblr You insulted him... which had no bearing in the discussion. It was uncalled for an immature. Discuss philosophy not personal statements
@Fishtiks@Colossis2@insertdedmeme @mariasstudyblr I don't argue with that. I just don't a point in discussing his social life. That has little bearing on the intellectual argument
@Colossis2@insertdedmeme @mariasstudyblr Belief or lack thereof is a belief pattern. Negative and affirmative belief are two sides of the same coin. Stop quibbling with language.
@Colossis2 @mariasstudyblr @insertdedmeme It is a belief pattern... how can you disagree with that? Your picture even confirms that. You're quibbling on verbage now
