    You have demonstrated nothing. You have ignored all the other examples. You have only repeated the same fairy tale. Radical Reasoning.- obvious conclusion? Secular Progressive with a Patriot Act style name. Go Tell George and the Grinch you failed. Goodbye Comrade. I dont serve the partyi.

    I'm rather well-versed in the New Testament. NOWHERE does JC endorse violence by those who follow Him onto others ~ anybody, even those who commit violence against them. JC does not condemn those who defend themselves ~ duh, self-preservation, but He does not endorse any sort of violence towards anyone that's considered revenge, anger or malice.

    Any jack arse who claims violence in the name of Christianity is an IMPOSTER, an INFILTRATOR of any given church whose job is to twist the word of Jesus, confuse those who don't know anything or very little about the Bible & thus, turn them away from learning the truth about the message JC gave to everyone.

    Those POS are not to be trusted or viewed as Christians, they are not. They are no different than the Luciferians who call themselves Jews and they are not: Revelations, Chapter 2, Verse 9. Do not be deceived!

    It's baffling the cirque du soleil contortions the left is willing to go through to deny reality... "Don't believe your lyin' eyes".
    You really need to do more research, and you'll recognize the inaccuracy of your assertions.
    The fact that 15-25% of Muslims are ok with violent jihad is a problem (Pew, Gallup, and multiple other studies have demonstrated this).
    It only took 10% of Germans to support Hitler's actions.

    So now you're changing the goal posts again to impy atheism is a religion, too, like Christianity???
    The first thing one should when in a hole is stop digging.
    Your quedtion to me has been answered and your assertion proven incorrect.

    You've officially jumped the shark, and it's become obvious that you would rather play at moral relativism than recognize the nature of our enemy. A quick study of history would teach you that the Chamberlain approach never works.
    It will require those of us to who do understand the world we live in to make it safe for you.

    The big problem is that the government does not fear or respect us and has not for a number of years, long before President O was in office.

    The Nazis were NOT Christian. I'm not sure where you learned this, but is laughably wrong.
    Again, you're unable to provide examples of Christian armies committing jihadist atrocities, because the don't exist.

    You must not be actually reading my responses or assertions of the terrorists themselves. The Quran commands them to commit jihad, to kill in the name of Islam, etc. islam as espoused by Muhammad and written in the Quran is incompatible with other religions or freedom and liberty generally.
    Western civilization, which is based on Judeo-Christian beliefs, is fundamentally antithetical to their beliefs.

    You made the assertion about modern Christian armies committing atrocities just like jihadists. I've demonstrated you're wrong, but you continue to assert. Provide examples more current than the Crusade.

    Just so I understand...you are willing to accept the New Testament literally, exactly as written?

    Nothing you've posted is evidence that you really want to know "Why?" Just state the position you believe.

    In spite of that, fundamentally why anyone supports violent jihad is because they believe they are right and others are wrong...just as you believe your beliefs are superior to theirs. A man's life is not valued for what it is, rather its value is determined by the jihadist's belief. That belief, like any other, is a crisis away from establishing its position of superiority with force...which is the ultimate way to win an argument when reason and existence have been abandoned.

    Get all the statistics you want from CATO institute they are the only one's that keep them up toi date.
    Summation. 1% of police commit crimes at the rate of one percent for all categories of crimes . 1% of the general population commite crimes at the rate of 1 percent average for all classes of crimes.

    What are they getting prepared for? Let's se the city let's me use a 9mm popgun while the criminals are are sporting .357's with armor piercing rounds. As a guess i would say survival.

    Too Easy. George Soros whoops wrong religion. Hillary Clinton? Except for the part about suicide - especially if it's political. Salvadore Allende? Juan Peron, Lyndon Baynes Johnson. Not sure if Rachel Carson was Christian or not. Sybionese Liberation Army, Weatherman Maybe not. Charles Manson. i think he claimed to be Christ. I see you ae narrowing the focus. I'm going to widen it. Anyone who voted for anyone who voted for the Patriot Act with it's anti Bill of Rights provision. Choosing the lesser of two evils only makes the chooser one who has chosen evil. the rest is relative. Therefore it follows the jihadist or terrorist is found by looking in the mirror for those who have chosen evil and blanket condemnations or blanket denials of fact is a form of evil. Good enough for a secular progressive or the run of the mill left wing fascist or the Government Party not good enough for the standards in the gulch.

    "After President Barack Obama delivered brief remarks in response to the shooting in Chattanooga, Tennessee, that claimed the lives of four Marines, conservative political pundit Charles Krauthammer said he noticed a pattern.

    The Fox News contributor said the attack on military personnel is an “example of radical Islam at work” and slammed the president for suggesting it was an isolated incident.

    “The general issue is radical Islam,” he stated. “And unless we have a president who immediately says ‘this is a lone gunman,’ how does he know?” "

    That was Jesus then - not Christians now. That was Mohammed then not Islamics now. etc. etc. etc. But you can keep ducking. It's almost time for you to pull the built in escape hatch so let's pull the parachute and see if it works. WHAT is your definition of modern?

    Quack Quack Quack. if it'talks leftist and walks leftist and ducks leftist......it isn't an apple. Especially if it follow the secular progessives manual of non debate.

    Actually, while the government may have more guns than us, they have far fewer capable shooters under their control, which is exactly the way it should be. And don't forget how many times that same government (at least, local police forces) has claimed that the "civilians" are better armed than they. I would like to keep it that way.

    Remember that the Constitution specifies that if our government ever gets too "big for its britches", that it's up to the citizenry to replace it, if necessary. The only way to do this will be for us to remain better armed than the government. After all, our government should both fear and respect us.

    Yes, that list is short, but may I also claim that the beliefs of Hitler, Kim Jongs, Mao and others had a LOT in common with the characteristics of Religion?

    Or Cults, for which I find lots of similarities, too.
    :) Even Mao had HIS own little Good Book, though it had a red cover, right?

    The implied generalization is that, unless the pope himself led the charges, it wasn't a "Christian Army."

    The assertions here are that a large percentage of the armies who were led by Hitler and others WERE Christians. The 'conclusion' should be "why didn't they all leave the army or refuse to follow orders?"

    Stop dancing away from the points.

    and there are charts that draw the conclusion that Muslims are NOT a problem until their percentage of an overall population exceeds some number, and I don't think that number is anywhere near 25% or so.

    Which Polls?

    In your never-so-humble opinion.

    I did not claim that they represent ALL or even some tiny part of "Christianity."

    They just exist and are a data point that refutes claims that such morons don't exist at all. That's all. Stop going to 'they don't represent..." stuff.
