What would you do about a cult.

A cult that, throughout its history, has raped, tortured and killed people in the name of its deity. A cult that has started wars and ended civilizations, all in the name of its deity. That continues to draw adherents that are violent, that rape and murder in the name of that cult. Adherents who imprison innocents and steal money in the name of the cult.

What would you do about that cult?

The public goes on and on about the evils of Scientology every time that cult, or one of its adherents is in the news. Yet this other cult regularly causes deaths, war and oppression in its name to this very day, yet nobody says boo about such crimes. Why is that?

I suppose that, in part, because this cult is now mainstream. It is, of course, Christianity, perhaps the most violent and destructive cult in all of history.

Yet people go on and on about the evils of Scientology. I don't deny those, but I abhor hypocrisy. Perhaps we should look at reforming the largest cult in the land before taking on one that has only a few thousand adherents.

Don't worry 0bama is working on reforming religion, he is making them buy their employees contraceptives through their insurance plans, he is forcing gay marriage down their throats, and he has called a lot of them terrorists.

3. Hate speech. Like murder only occurs in a vacuum called "Christianity".

Only white Christians, and white hispanics are ever guilty of murder.

I'd do what we do now at CC...ban the little Ron Paul propagandists after they've become too annoying to tolerate anymore.

And then there is the Religion of Peace and Love that endorses 'honor killings', stoning, lopping off heads, using young boys as sex toys - but we dare not cast any shadows in *that* direction, dare we.

The DUmmies really do hate Christianity, but seem to accept (even like) any/all other religions.

Just another anti-Christian bigot. Never let facts, such as the sickening Nazi-like THING called Islam being far and away top dog in inspiration for war and mass murder in all history, get in the way of some good old-fashioned bigotry.

By casting a stone toward Christianity and ignoring the proven to be dangerous Islam you have proven yourself to be both a liar and a hypocrite. Of course, that is standard operating procedure for any true DUmp member.

By many standards DU could be considered a cult. Let's see group think, intolerance of outside ideas, discourage relationships (including family member) who are not part of the group... hmmm sounds like a cult to me.

It's close as to whether they hate Christians or Jews the most.

This moron has Islam confused with Christianity. Oh wait, he probably thinks that Islam is a perfect and peaceful cult (Notice I said cult. There is no way that Islam is a religion). It is typical hate speech from someone who knows nothing of which they are talking about.

Of course he/she/it/Pat could also be talking about the inquisition. Well, Scooter, the Christians made up for that a thousand times over. The Islamic retards are doing the same thing they did when their main terrorist Mohammad was alive.

As for Scientology. Those people are just down right bat crazy, and should be locked in a padded room.

The thread got locked shortly after this somewhat reasonable response.  DUmmies must be reminded from time to time that they must 'toe the line' (yes lurking DUmmies, it is 'toe' not 'tow' as so many of you like to type) and never deviate from it.

14. This is an old canard.

I see some version of this posted on DU every few months, and for every post I see, there are probably 100 that I don't see.

PEOPLE are ****ed up and will do ****ed up shit. Sure, they may use Christian faith as an excuse, but if they didn't have that, they'd use something else. The Romans did just fine spreading militarism without the need of Christianity, as did any number of civilizations before them. More recently, Genghis Kahn never needed religion as an excuse to murder entire cities.

I have Christian friends and I have Scientologist friends. I don't understand being involved in a religion, but I don't think that someone's more likely to kill me because they're a follower of one religion or another. Shockingly, it turns out that - even with religion - human beings have free will and are uniquely responsible for their own actions.

At first I thought the DUmmie was talking about the Democrat Party and their KKKers and their Occupiers and their venereal diseases and child predators and whatnot.
