Nah, there just trolling me.
Christians in the Middle East are persecuted. That's sad, and wrong. But it's not happening in the US.
I do not think that taking God's orders in their holy texts makes them "extremists". It makes them devoted believers. They are labeled extremists because those holy texts are extremely immoral by modern standards.
Your average modern-day Christian hardly follows the Bible at all. That is good. But it really begs the question why call themselves followers of the Bible at all? They'll claim it's the inerrant word of God, but they throw most of it away with their own judgment.
Keeping the book around and claiming it as the inerrant holy text of God enables the extremists who are not so discerning. The Bible should really just be thrown out or at the very least straight-up declared by churches to be errant.

It's common for people, of all ages, to get upset because they think they're being targeted or their opinion isn't being heard.
Although he could have been seen as immature on one post, Alien51 has provided quality discussion to this thread. I appreciate his opinions.

If you forgive others, try not to judge, ask for forgiveness, believe in the Jesus Christ, and follow the ten commandments... I'd say you're a well-representative of the Christian faith.
DID YOU MEAN: THEY'RE?
People who are obsessed with religious teachings are what are wrong with religion as a whole. They make it bad for the rest of them, which is why people have a poor reception of religion.

People of all faiths do this. Judaism is a religion that doesn't usually, and uncommonly act on bigotry of hatred.
Thanks for the correction.
no problemo neighbourino
You're one to talk, lol.
I grew up Lutheran, and I think the branch I grew up in brings negativity to the world. They're against a lot of things and seem quite condemning. The church found out my lesbian friend got engaged to her girlfriend and told her they'd have to reconsider her singing in front of the church during services. In my opinion, that's not a way to get this generation to go to church and to worship. My family and most of her's left that church months ago.
I do feel more non denominational churches will be more my thing, because I do enjoy the feeling I get going to church and worshiping and singing in a praise team. However, I will not do that again until I find the right place to do it at.
So, right now I'm quite neutral.

My (past) Youth Group teacher was obsessed with religious teachings. She still allowed teenagers that were apart of the LGBTQ into the youth group, although she disproved of their identification. She did not act on bigotry or even mention it. She wasn't pressured in her beliefs and actions. Her beliefs and actions derived from her relationship with her God and The Bible.
Ironically, I'm acting my age yet you're acting like a 12 year old telling people to stop "telling you what to do".
Uh, you forgot the capital N and the period. Not to mention, problemo and neighbourino don't appear to be words.

I think you're contributing it without seeing the repercussions of it. This was, and still is a civil conversation happening about religion. If you'd like to no longer discuss religion, specifically Christianity, please don't post as it would be meaningless and unnecessary.
Nevermind

People like that make religion look bad. ISIS make Islam look bad. Extremists make a religion look bad, regardless of whether they're acting on the truth of their religion. Islam is a peaceful religion and it disapproves of violence towards other religions, yet the extremists we're seeing make it look bad, which upsets true believers of that religion.

I'm a bit confused about that.
She is a benevolent, kind woman who gave, and gives kids a sense of stability and belonging.

That's all fine and dandy, but I'm not sure what that has to do with our discussion.
I'll admit I do not know much about Judaism in terms of its followers. However, I do know there are multiple sects of Judaism. Some very liberal ones, like a fair portion of modern-day Christians, and some very conservative ones (I believe they are called Orthodox Jews).
So how did you know she "disapproved of their identification", then?

Yes, I agree that 'One bad apple ruins the basket.'
You can take action against that basket. But you don't have to hate the basket.

Good question!
Because I respected her opinion and got to know her. In relevant conversation and upon when being asked, she told ones asking questions what she believed in.
