10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

Matthew Chapter 5 v. 10-12

Odd isn't it. God is powerless against the Chinese government. Almost as though he/she/it/housecat doesn't exist at all.

Once again, your logic is truly stunning.

Ohhh, Rule of So, strawmen, followed by an accusation that the logic that was just made up was my logic! Oh man, that is beautiful

St. Aquinas : “To interpret the injunction of the Sermon on the Mount literally is to misunderstand it. This injunction signifies rather the readiness of the soul to bear, if it be necessary, such things and worse without bitterness to the attacker.”

Thus we must resist the evildoers, here the Atheist Chinese.

Further, as noted, I do not speak for all, particularly not the 1 million Muslims living in bondage under the Godless Chinese Regime, Peace and mercy and blessings of Allah be upon them

It does not matter if the terrible logic that you use is is your own logic, or is the logic of someone who lived a thousand years ago, or the logic is some combination of both because all that matters is that the logic you are using is terrible.

Now my favorite thing about your avatar is that is anti-religion, and then flashes to "think" which is hilariously ironic, particularity when reading posts like "Note, I'm not defending the policy so much as promoting it. Destroy religion, burn churches, use christian-conversion therapy."

You forgot stick a million Muslims in a camp, which is happening today in China, by atheists.

You find a thread about forced conversion, destruction of churches and the internment of 1 million Muslims "pure entertainment."

No, those, if true, are serious things. But everybody here knows that you are using all of that as an excuse to pontificate, as a vehicle of your hate speech and to be the centre of the party. And I adhere to that party, that's why I am so entertained. By you. You should be flattered.

Maybe in another thread, perhaps in another forum, some people are seriously talking about what is really happening in China. But that place is clearly not here.

On the contrary, it is quite relevant.

After all, 'The Big Dog' often discusses how powerful his god is and yet his god cannot protect his own worshipers from the people he that defines as atheists.

It's pretty evident this thread is born in you hating atheists and trying to peg them whatever you can, with a pseudo-logic not discernible from "The Son of Sam was white and a killer so all white men are killers".

But this thread is also about you, you, you and you. So I'm providing aid in reaching the 500 post mark so you'll have your needed dose of messages addressed to you. So you should be thankful. Not that your interest in one million Muslims -especially one million Muslims in China- is to be doubted. Or is it?

I think your problem is that I find your threads entertaining, even if you talk about concentration camps. It had nothing to do with their putative topics but with their hardly concealed intention.

Quote:

China has an estimated 38 million Protestants, and experts have predicted that the country will have the world’s largest Christian population in a few decades.

I once heard a radio evangelical nutcase say that one of their "hopes" is that the fundamentalist Christian missionaries (i.e. from the US) would convert enough people in China so that they would rise up and establish a fundamentalist Christian theocracy in China, and that China would then invade the US and force a fundamentalist Christian theocracy here. Seems like kind of the long game, but I would not assume that the millions of Protestants in China are some kind of benign entity.

It is called a strawman. Say, y'all missed the part about the Muslims again? You are wrong again. There is no strawman involved, instead there is just your feckless god who cannot even protect the people who worship him.

Posts: 9,215	Originally Posted by The Big Dog You find a thread about forced conversion, destruction of churches and the internment of 1 million Muslims "pure entertainment." Well, there you have it folks... Stories about the repressive actions of a Atheist Totalitarian regime are "pure entertainment." Fantastic. No, those, if true, are serious things. But everybody here knows that you are using all of that as an excuse to pontificate, as a vehicle of your hate speech and to be the centre of the party. And I adhere to that party, that's why I am so entertained. By you. You should be flattered. Maybe in another thread, perhaps in another forum, some people are seriously talking about what is really happening in China. But that place is clearly not here.

Calls a thread about massive internment "pure entertainment." When this is pointed out declares my posts to be "hate speech." And just when y'all think that atheists' arguments in this thread can't get any worse, huh? Hoo boy... hate speech.... Damn....

What the Chinese Government doing is tyrannical and reprehensible but to say all Athiest support that is silly. But I am disturbed that a couple of poster here seem to think what the Chinese Government is doing is somehow excusable,using the old "defending China against Cultural imperialism " B.S.

Who said that? That being said, I am certain that all who support it are atheist however.

On the contrary, it is quite relevant. After all, 'The Big Dog' often discusses how powerful his god is and yet his god cannot protect his own worshipers from the people he that defines as atheists.

It's pretty evident this thread is born in you hating atheists and trying to peg them whatever you can, with a pseudo-logic not discernible from "The Son of Sam was white and a killer so all white men are killers". But this thread is also about you, you, you and you. So I'm providing aid in reaching the 500 post mark so you'll have your needed dose of messages addressed to you. So you should be thankful. Not that your interest in one million Muslims -especially one million Muslims in China- is to be doubted. Or is it? I think your problem is that I find your threads entertaining, even if you talk about concentration camps. It had nothing to do with their putative topics but with their hardly concealed intention.

Big Dog's opinion might be totally silly, but he has a right to them..and to practice them (so wrong as he does not interfere with other people's rights) without the government harassing him.

Check.
