British-Conservatism

My main opposition to Islam is that it like Communism is against the nation-state and nationalism.

Nationalism is a concept alien to Islam because it calls for unity based on
family and tribalistic ties, whereas Islam binds people together on the
`Aqeedah, that is belief in Allah (swt) and His Messenger (saaw). Islam
calls for the ideological bond.

I didn't say they had...

Accepted. I didn't think of this at the time. What I was really thinking about, which I did not make clear at the time, was the existence of God - which I see as far more important to any discussion concerning a religion which believes in a deity.

P.S. For_England, perhaps next time your reply could be a little more civil - you seem to be extremely angry for some reason and I would appreciate it if next time you were not so aggressive in your posts towards me.

Although entirely irrelevant to the point he or I was making. The fact that he missed it out means he falls foul of a logical fallacy. The fact that I mentioned it was that myth can mean many things (for example, whether Jesus did or did not exist or whether Jesus did exist and the miracles he supposedly performed did or did not).

Can't nationalism also be founded upon an ideological bond? I would have though so.

Yes.

It sends an immediate message to the attacker that he is dealing with a thing that is bigger than both of them. For the victim it allows him to “witness for his faith”.

In part the people who would have turned them into martyrs have realised that Christianity is not the threat that they themselves are, in part because many people realise that in dealing with a true Christian they are dealing with someone who is essentially a good and decent person which true Christians, in my experience are, and remember, Idiscriminate between church goers and Christians. The two are not automatically the same..

Since European culture is based on Christian ethics and morality it would seem that claiming that Christianity has no place in Europe simply shows great ignorance about Europe.

As for Islam being a Semitic ideology, I would only agree insofar as Islam was probably invented by a man who was of that race. I do agree that it has no place in Europe and precisely because our superior culture is Christian based.

Shot yourself in the foot there.
The Scripture you quote is from Paul’s letters to the Corinthians, it is part of the Western Bible (I note you use the KJV) but is not part the teaching of Jesus.

It also shows that you have missed the message that Paul was sending.

Unless of course you’re scared that you might, on seeing the truth, see the light and convert!

Of course the standards of Christianity are unattainable!

But that doesn’t mean that a Christian person shouldn’t know what they are and shouldn’t strive towards them!

I would add, no, on second thoughts better not. It would only result in a formal complaint!

Bear, "...I would only agree insofar as Islam was probably invented by a man who was of that race. I do agree that it has no place in Europe and precisely because our superior culture is Christian based."

So no place in South America, or USA, or Africa for this superior culture.
Superior culture? I await expectantly.

I have never read the koran, have you? And I don`t mean snippets from the Internet! Have you read it in its entirety?

Have you ever read the bible in its entirety? I have, many times! And I can think of nothing more disgusting, cruel and `evil` than the contents of that book, especially the parts that deal with the jews` destruction and slaughter of their enemies, men, women, children and even animals at the behest of their bloodthirsty misanthropic `god`!

[quote=C_steam;502635]A genuine xtian would never be offended by so trivial a matter.

Josephus Flavius, the Jewish historian, lived as the earliest non-Christian who mentions a Jesus. Although many scholars think that Josephus' short accounts of Jesus (in Antiquities) came from interpolations perpetrated by a later Church father (most likely, Eusebius), Josephus' birth in 37 C.E., well after the alleged crucifixion of Jesus, puts him out of range of an eyewitness account. Moreover, he wrote Antiquities in 93 C.E., after the first gospels got written! Therefore, even if his accounts about Jesus came from his hand, his information could only serve as hearsay.



It is allegedly based on the historicity of the birth, life and manner of death of its central figure, jesus of nazareth. People have been burned at the stake for calling these alleged `facts` into question along with other less trivial matters of faith.
If jesus did not exist he was thus not the son of `god` or the supposed saviour of mankind who `died for our sins`.
Without any historical evidence it is a mere collection of jewish fairtytales and thus of no relevance to European man living in the 21st century.

xtianity is no less opposed to the nation-state and nationalism for it places no distinction between `jew and Greek`.
