Fang said:

"Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition", not "what are you, the Spanish Inquisition".

The latter was probably Jerry Seinfeld, or someone similarly formulaic.

Anyway: does anyone remember what this thread was supposed to be about?? No? Me neither.

EDIT: overcome with dyslexia today...

I'm not sure I'd agree with this, more times than not, at least where
I have lived there are normally both in a town or a city. The choice
is there to go to either, if any particular religion is building a school
where none exist before, what is the harm in that too? If there were
no schools in the area, the parents would simply send their kids to
where ever they are currently sending them when there was no
school in the area.

The detail of the way in which 'failing' schools are remodelled as 'Academies' in the UK contradicts what you say. As for your argument 'more times than not', how mant occasions of 'not' are acceptable? If it is your local school and your children involved would you accept imposition of a religion you don'rt brelieve in?

Ok: religion and public/private schools deserves a thread of its own.

Here I have simple questions:[b]

Should Christians tolerate slurs and inflammatory, hateful comments about their faith?

Why are such remarks acceptable in modern society, when the equivalent disrespect shown to either of the other monotheistic religions would cause outrage all round?

Why can someone openly express hatred for all things Christian, and not be countered on it

(when if one declared to hate all things Jewish or Islamic, the stocks await for a public barrage of criticism)?


That is what I wanted to discuss. Is the answer as straight-forward as it seems. What does that say about our society, and the obvious double standards this question highlights?

you are right.

Christians do tolerate the mean and disrespectful comments about their believes. They should not tolerate any of this, and must stand up for what they believe, and that is Jesus Christ!

Modern society accepts every- and anything. People want to fight, people want hurt others. The only reason is that they think everyone is for him/herself.


Why can someone openly express hatred for all things Christian, and not be countered on it (when if one declared to hate all things Jewish or Islamic, the stocks await for a public barrage of criticism)?

Good question? I dont have an answer. Anyone who does this, can you answer?
