Again you are proof texting. Quote the entire passage then defend your false interpretation. Islam is a false religion and the adherents worship a false god. Comparing the god of Islam with the Triune Godhead of the Christian faith is blasphemous.Originally posted by Johnv:
Acts 17:22-24
Paul then stood up in the meeting of the Areopagus and said: Men of Athens! I see that in every way you are very religious. For as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO AN UNKNOWN GOD. Now, what you worship as something unknown I am going to proclaim to you.
Note that Paul doesn't condemn the Athenians. He commends them for being religious. He then procees to explain to them that which they worship. He never tells them that they worship a false god, and never chastises them for their worship. But he obvous does go on to correct them.

Agreed! I think they're always looking for an excuse and most any will serve the purpose. I still predict that many will excuse their behavior and concede their anger is justified.Originally posted by KenH:
Violence over cartoons? This is silly, uncalled for, and unjustified. Those offended need to learn to do what we do here in America in similar situations - write a letter to the editor.
No getting around the irony of that one.Originally posted by Debby in Philly:
Bill Bennett made the comment on his program this morning that these "protesters" are threatening to kill people and cut their limbs off because the cartoons categorized them as being people who kill people and cut their limbs off!
Actually, you do, but these days it is irate individuals and not mobs.However, images of our Lord that are disrespectful and downright disgusting are hailed as free speech. You don't see Christians threatening to kill people over it.
Righto, KenH, but I'm not sure they can write a letter to the editor.Originally posted by KenH:

I definitely do not want to sidetrack this thread, so perhaps you could start a new thread on facts regarding your comment. I clearly must have missed that one in the news.Originally posted by Daisy:
