I think you're being unfair. It looks like this Forum is following the talking points the Republican Party uses to convince the religious right that they have a home in their big tent.
I'm sure they discuss fertilizer and rental trucks in a secret forum. |

"The ACLU and other homosexual activists..."
What can you say about people who think like that? |

Talk about Bizarro world.
SheEagle911 is going to be a moderator ????? She is far more effective at inciting flames than at quelling them. I hope she can become a little more mild-tempered as a result, but I remain doubtful. Brian Yay!! My first post on the new board...just for kicks. TEST TEST TEST Kewl |

Sorry, but as I once asked in another thread: how would these Xian missionaries feel if they suddenly started getting knocks on their doors (here at home) by Muslims, Buddhists, Jews, Satanists, Wiccans, etc.? I also recall once a thread about 'Xian persecution' here in the US. A widely believed myth that is perpetuated by Xian ministers and activists. Hey Xians: |

Tempting to hack their board and get the password. *ponders*
On second thought, I don't want to know. |

Well, I do feel sympathy for the baptist missionary doctors who were recently murdered by a fanatical islamist in the Yemen. Whatever their wacky beliefs, they seem to have been there principally to minister to the medical needs of the community. Does anyone know how hard they try to convert the locals to xianity?

I caught part of an interview this morning about a Baptist program to train missionaries to go to Islamic countries. I think the interviewee was a writer for Mother Jones magazine, but I don't the the article on their web site. The interview said that Baptists are trained to get into Moslem countries by subterfuge to convert Moslems to Christianity, because Islam is such an evil religion. The young missionaries are told that they will probably be safe and the worst that will happen is that they get kicked out of the country, but that the people they convert are likely to be imprisoned, killed, or tortured - but they should still go ahead because it is important to save their souls for eternity.
Obviously, I do not support the actions of a government in torturing people for their religious beliefs, but the Baptists' efforts seem misguided. Which still does not justify murdering them. |

Yeah, go ahead and convert them. If they're then killed, at least they'll have accepted Christ! :banghead: |
