So I tried to respond to a youtube video
Here is the link to the video. I responded as utubecommetsnjm:
To respond to the question- How many christians feel it is okay to pick up a gun and kill people working at family planning clinics? No one religion has blood free hands at this point [okay I corrected a typo for this post- so sue me]
Someone named mosquewatch responded to that post:
Good point. Now ask the Muslims too denounce islamic jihad, hammas, abu sayeff etc. They won't. I denounce any Christian that acts in violence. I not only denounce them, they should be punished by the law. When was the last time a Christian said "Talk bad about Jesus, I'll kill you? "
I tried to post my response on youtube quite a few times with no luck (all of them will probably show up at once making me look like more of an idiot than usual). In any case I wanted to respond and this approximates the final post(s):
There is too much generalization going on. There are as many muslims horrified by extremism as most (hopefully) christians [NB: I even provided a nice google search link to provide backup documentaqtion but of course I can't remember what the query was] As far as the question posed, what about the guy who shot up the Unitarian Church? Many Unitarians (but not all) identify themselves as christian. The attack was purely motivated on what the shooter belived a christian should be.
I also referenced those assholes at Westboro Baptist Church * who protest at the funerals of service men and women because they feel that 9/11 was God's punishment on the USA. For an intesting take on the Phelps family read the this article. Check out wiki link as well
* The church is filled with Fred Phelps' extremely litigious lawyer spawn [note: not all lawyers can be designated as spawn but in the case of the Phelps family, I think it applies] so if they sue me there isn't anything to get.
