The First World War and the Bible: Paralleled

foul excuse

I figured that out myself too 😊

but phoe, ya gotta understand that some of those religious (if not many to all) people get offended when people like I say "it's not true" "it's all bull" etc.
then you have this member who gives it as a FACt that the bible prophecised WW I, can't people like I get offended because of that?

yes you can, but that doesn't mean you have to insult christianity and the bible while you get offended!

of course you could be offended by it yersie, shouldnt let that petit thing offend you though. Let them be the fool

but that doesn't mean you have to insult christianity and the bible while you get offended!

yerss, i get that your offended. But by calling the bible an 'old book' and insulting christianity, how do you think you are making me feel? I have never pressed my religion onto anyone or told anyone that it must be true - I have only ever said that it is true FOR ME.

and to set it straight: I'm not offended by a long shot, needs more than religion to do that

I say Odin and Tor are the true gods

why not, havent the christians offended enough mythologies and religions to tolerate themselves to be ridiculed

that is a staggering generalisation. Personally, I have never offended or disregarded other mythologies, faiths, religions or philosophies, and I'll think you'll find that very few christians actually have. the ones that do don't have the right to call themselves christians - the first ideal of christianity, for me at least, has always been 'love thy neighbour'

we give them what they did in the past/present 😉

Not only is that tarring everyone with the same brush, but have you ever heard of forgive and forget?

but erm... phoe... it IS an old book... the last added part is 1500 years old, I already think 40 year old guys are old, what do you think I consider 1500 years 😉

By Tor, do you mean Thor? 😕

They'll both be senile by now. Haven't you come across the Voluspa?

that's true, you never did that 🙂

ancient book would have been ok - some old book is rather derogatory

By Tor, do you mean Thor

I'm sorry, must have been bad translation, in dutch it doesn't have a bad ring to it as far as I'm aware of it

many wars fought in the name of christianity were excuses - the rulers wanted lands, riches and power, 'crushing the infidels' had nothing to do with it

and how did the christians try to stop that?

I help you on the way, commit to christianity or die
