The religion of peace

If Charlie Hebdo were to "satirize" Grampy Bobby in a cartoon they would no doubt depict him as a complete and utter dick head smelling his own farts while cowering away from sincere discussion, and even those who didn't think the cartoon was all that funny, and thought it was disrespectful, would rally round, welcome the exercise of free speech, and ignore the protestations by "insulted" Grampy Bobby and his "insulted" fans. 😀

Yes, I'm aware of these manifestations of evil in Dubai and elsewhere in the world which militate against personal freedom and the exercise of free will [and especially belief in Jesus Christ]. Who do you think is the author of evil? Sin isn't the issue for an unbeliever. Believers in Christ cannot 'lose' their eternal salvation which was sealed by the Holy Spirit at the moment of regeneration [spiritual birth]; and have been provided with the option of 1John 1:9 for the restoration of fellowship.

So although I am a non-believer, my "eternal salvation" is "sealed" and cannot be lost because I once believed? Is this your theology?

A believer in Christ's vision is clouded if 'chastisement' by another human being is of concern rather than God's discipline.

If you are now suggesting that divegeester is somehow at fault for being concerned by your "chastisement" why are you now chastising him for being "clouded", and why did you issue your "chastisement" in the first place?

Chastising you and then chastising you for feeling chastised by him. This is a Ground Zero for Grampy Bobby's passive aggressive behaviour in this community.

No. I am blaming you for expecting me to make conclusions based on facts I am ignorant about. If you wanted us to make conclusions about the 'religion of peace' based on Saudi culture, then you should inform us about Saudi culture. Instead, you told us about how many capital punishments were carried out - which you have already admitted is not sufficient cause to draw the conclusion you desire.

The US kills prisoners who have been found guilty of murder. The thinking is if you take a like you should lose your own.

And do you see that as a good thing?

In Islam, women are without any real representation. They are abused, oppressed, and without any form of justice.
In Islam? Can you justify that claim? Can you quote the articles in Sharia law that apply to your claim?

The comparison is apples and oranges.
But nevertheless informative.
