I'm not painting Jesus how I want, I am referencing his nature as portrayed in scripture.


I wasn't saying you were. When I said "Of course you're going to paint your savior as someone who hardly ever does anything wrong" I was referring to religious people in general, like the ones who wrote the Bible. Don't believe everything you read.

Islam was influenced by Christianity


Doesn't matter. Nobody mentioned Islam so you had no business bringing it up. Then again, I suppose Lilliesque had no business bringing Christianity up because I was clearly referring to the Roman Empire in your thread, not the IRL Roman Empire.

Also Christianity was influenced by other religions that came before it.

No, you can't justify murder by saying someone else is a serial killer. Don't you think demeaning a man who did barely anything wrong is justified by shrugging it off and saying nothing about another man who is portrayed as a psychopathic criminal?


By that logic we should bring up literally every religion ever, analyze every single tenant of each religion, and directly compare their messiah figures. Because it is unfair to criticize Islam when there could be religions out there that have done far, far worse. Again, this is going by your logic.

Anyways, this other man was never brought up, and was at no point a subject in the conversation. We only started talking about Islam when you brought Islam up.

This entire debate is pointless, unnecessary, and will inevitably end up with somebody getting muted. So we should probably stop.

Angel (last page),
I did bring up Islam as a comparison to what Lilli said, to see what he would have to say about a religion that truly praises a dead criminal. There is no reason why I cannot bring it up.

CaptLasky,
I see now, I thought you were talking about me.
There is no reason I cannot bring up other subjects to continue any discussion.
Christianity indeed was influenced by other religions, such as Judaism, Greek mythology, Roman mythology, and various Mesopotamian mythologies.
I don't see logic to bring up every religion to a simple question. It is not unfair to criticize a religion that praises a criminal that is still practised. Criminals and criminal behaviour should be criticized, ostracized, hated, ridiculed, and publicized, regardless if they are religious figures or not.
I did bring up Islam and Prophet Muhammad; there is no reason why I can't bring up other subjects into any conversation.

I noticed I am the only one condemning criminals and criminal behaviour.

Look, this debate is going nowhere, and it is pointless to continue it.

Let's all just convert to cookieanity, so that we may be absolved of our slims, and finally move on.

I don't see much debating going on, I am passing comments and replying to what is directed to me. It feels most honest, most truthful, and most respectful to spend time for people who spend time for me.

So that proves my point Angel, and I still am the only one condemning crime and criminal activity here.
