Perhaps you are free to speak as you do. I live in Louisiana, if I was to express that I would interpret what Jesus meant, it would be the same as it was in Europe, lynching, burning at the stake. For the Bible is the word of God.
If I went into a church and said the Religious right is made up of poor whites, KKK, David Duke, now govenrnment pardoned Social Conservative, and that their votes, and oil company money, have been murdering people in a fake war, in Irak, and that they have done so because they want this to be a religious war, where Social Conservatives Klan, Dukes Nazis, will create a Religious State, discard the Constitution, and establish white rule, at the least, I would be asked to leave.
AS my Islamic friends have pointed out, the Koran does not change to fit politics. Through great effort and hard work they got here legally, learned the language, have studied the history and form of government. I have coached them for the test, and I had to look up the answers. If all Americans had to take the test, most would have to leave. It takes seven years of being employed, paying taxes, keeping out of trouble, to take the test.
They came because our ideals do spread a light over the world. They left everything for life under laws, not men, equal justice for all, that no man shall be deprived of life, liberty, or the persuit of happiness, except by proper action of the laws, courts, ect. They all come from places where being taken away and being locked up, without charge, without trial, lawyers, or any contact, was the normal life.
They were shocked that the man who swore on his oath of office to protect and defend the Constituion, against all enemies, foreign and domestic, would dare alter it. That people could detained without trial or charge, that government snooping, where there was no evidence of a crime, became tolerated, as confettii from the Constitution comes out of White House windows, making a place for a Theocracy, with a leader who has mentioned God more times that all prior presidents combined. What shocked them most, we did not rise as one and defend our freedoms.
That we hold these truths to be self evident, truths that men have died for over for two hundred years, are being dishonored, and replaced by Jesus babble. Why, because TERRORISTS, AND ONLY MY GOD CAN SAVE YOU.
What terrorists? Look around, China pushed the white devil out, Viet Nam, India, Africa, South and Central America, all since WWII. Are they racist? Terrorist? Or did they just want to rule themselves?
You Great White Bawanas of the White Jesus, Black Book of Magic, and your religopsyco babble about the white mans burden, what's that, stripping the planet? You complain about hauling the loot away, what lazy looters, you want it delivered? You can not even keep freedom at home, much less spread it.
The New Testament was written 100 to 150 years after the alleged incident. People wrote then, but no one took notes? Greatest event of all time was written down by Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, over a century later? And no one has any idea who they are?
Wait, I just remembered, it was at the Battle of Gettysburg, God reached down his hand and raised his only child from the dead, after he stopped five cannon balls, and with 200,000 watching, gave everyone beer and sausages, then they went back to fighting, but I thought I should mention it now.
Alexander the Great died at 33, pierced through the breast, Mani and a hundred others had a Virgin mother. The Bible is Sumarian, Noah and the flood, several others, the Ras Sharam text, To Baal, make up most of it, his name scratched out, and replaced with a tribal god. The Ten Commandments come from the 125 Chapter of the Egyptian Book of the Dead.
Your religion is Plagiarism!
Islam is a social system, and nothing matched it till Bismark in 1870, Islam educated Europe in Andulusia. Fibbernachi brought arabic numerals and Algebra from the University at Bougie, Adam Smith learned from Ibn Khaldun, Christians burned all of the works of the Greeks and Romans, Islam gave them back 1000 years later.
When I told Islamic people that I only worship the Universe, as the Temple built by a force unimaginable, yet perfect and exact, unknowable, but Supreme. they said, yes, that is the one, the only, our beginning and our end.
