ISIS

boarderbloke - you may rightfully feel like charging me with dabbling in semantics, but in the technical sense your two statements in your two posts about the 3 religions "worshiping" or "having" the same God are not one and the same.

However you did clarify that somewhat in your later post.

It is of significance to witness the differences in the outcomes of the application of the major principles of each religion.

The only way one can do this objectively is to see what each faith through - its recognized leader - actually says and promotes and then compare that to what each faith actually practices.

It will prove to be an eye opener.

ISIS, as pointed out in the link in the opening post, is doing exactly what Mohammed called for.

The Jews are still, or once again holding on the the "land" that they and Christian Zionists see as the fulfillment of the Abrahamic Covenant. (Many do not believe, with justification, that that covenant has a literal fullilment.)

And the Christians? Wow, there seems to be a vast chasm between what Jesus actually taught and what they practice today.

It appears that the majority of Jews, Christians and Muslims are no more than nominal adherents (if even that) to their respective belief systems. That would be good news on the part of the Muslims, since their prophet incites them to violence.

Doubtless, there is something very unattractive about following the example of Jesus Christ who both taught and modeled a life of giving, serving and ultimately self-sacrifice.

But in the end, which road leads to the best outcome?

Parsley after reading your last post, I'm wondering where you buy your weed from.

Only a stoner could write a story like that.

Lol,just pointing out some of the stuff our bible says is as crazy as the koran's,but granted and thankfully nobody takes it to the extreme like they do.

I don't think its fair to say we didn't have a partial role to play in the problem.

We have been messing around over there for a long time,it doesn't take a leap to get into the mind of man who watches our modern war machines bomb the piss out of his people,in a country that is incapable of manufacturing cars.

If the situation was reversed and say on the news tonight the town of melfort was wiped out by the liberating army of china,some would be tempted to raise jihad,under whatever was the coolest looking flag around.

But all that being said maybe the situation would be worse if we where not doing what we are doing,i don't know,that whole area is to weird and confusing.
