The difference is that every time someone like this pops up people like you are all "Christians are like this."
Obviously the pastor here is ignorant... but he's also not killing tons of people every day.

But my post was not in response to what you said.
It was very clearly marked as a reply to an observation by "mekhanics", which I quoted.
viz;
Where's the peace-loving Christians on ATS?
Did you not notice how, in my direct repky to you, I referred to what "that poster" said?
That's not what happened. The Church actually discouraged the populace from reading the Bible on their own -- a policy that intensified through the Middle Ages and later, with the addition of a prohibition forbidding translation of the Bible into native languages.

Where's the peace loving Christian on ATS condemning Pastor's remark? Oh, they're busy crusading, debating how 1.6 B Muslim are evil.
Meh ...

The pastor was half right.
It would be crazy to ignore the obvious links to the band name and the actions that took place.
I did not realize that the poster was not serious with the post.
i cannot agree with them deserving death but i do see how it is asking for it when one embraces the thought of death
or we could just say that words have no power and linking words to actions is irrational but that does not seem right either.
Making false claims does not prove anything

Dude Christianity is all about embracing the thought of death.
You have many wanting everything to end because of a promise made in a book 2000 years ago.

same answer as I gave young monkey.
the thread and question posed to me was about death metal and how it attracted death.
am I really a bad guy for being realistic?
I mean make a thread about Christianity and death and I will give an answer or just ask me about that but it is childish to not accept my answer because I may or may not listen to death metal myself
you all can borrow my step ladder when you get ready to get off the highhorses

Oh look, another ATS thread with Christian hating liberals telling Christians how they should behave.
Too bad these are the same people that want the US flooded with illegals and Muslim refugees.
Why do liberals on ATS hate Christians but love Muslims?
Lastly, one Christian preacher does not paint the attitude of all Christians. Most Christians believe in "turn the other cheek" and "live and let live". Christianity is about LOVE not HATE, you have us confused with Islam.
