| Recently someone came up with an explanation | | | | Sarah (all in NT). They are to give him sex |
| as to why someone of the Islamic faith cannot | | | | as a part of her duty and submit. The Koran |
| possible be a good American. This is in | | | | and the Bible sprang from the same culture, |
| response to that ignorance. The writer | | | | which few Fundamentalist Chrsitians realize |
| asks.."Can a good Muslim be a good American?" | | | | or think about. In many respects the Taliban |
| In doing so, he sets himself up for a | | | | are to the Koran what the Fundamentalist |
| fall."Consider the following:" | | | | Christians are to the Bible. PS...Lots of |
| | | | Fundamentalist Christian men abuse their |
| And of the Christian Fundamentalist, | | | | wives with the word."Intellectually - no. |
| consider the following as well."Theologically | | | | Because he cannot accept the American |
| - no. Because his allegiance is to Allah, the | | | | Constitution since it is based on Biblical |
| moon god of Arabia."And of the Christian | | | | principles and he believes the Bible to be |
| Fundamentalist...Theologically- NO Because | | | | corrupt."And of the Christian |
| his allegiance is to God, the Sun God of | | | | Fundamentalist...Intellectually no, because |
| Egypt. This is why God is Most High (At | | | | he can't accept that the American |
| Noon), Jesus can be seen as an archetype Son | | | | Constitution was NOT predicated on founding |
| of the Sun God and the Gospels are the | | | | fundamentalist, Old Covenant believing |
| account of a one year trip of the Sun Jesus | | | | Fathers. I would not use the word |
| through the signs of the Zodiac, and I ain't | | | | "intellectual" with Christian fundamentalists |
| kiddn! The origin all gods in the human | | | | either, as critical thinking or the examining |
| psyche is the SUN and all that it does for | | | | of evidence that runs contrary to their |
| humans. This is why in the Old Testament it | | | | established belief system is not encouraged. |
| says in Malachi that the "sun will rise with | | | | This was called the Dark Ages in the European |
| healing in his wings," which is statement | | | | past."Philosophically - no. Because Islam, |
| about the messiah to come. In Revelation, | | | | Muhammad, and the Quran do not allow freedom |
| Jesus is also called the "son of the morning | | | | of religion and expression. Democracy and |
| star," which of course is the SUN, or the | | | | Islam cannot co-exist."And of the Christian |
| Planet Venus depending. Long story. Don't | | | | Fundamentalists...Philosophically no because |
| sweat Allah the moon god."Religiously - no. | | | | Christianity, Jesus and the Bible do not |
| Because no other religion is accepted by his | | | | allow freedom of religion if you take the Old |
| Allah except Islam (Quran, 2:256)"And of the | | | | and New Testaments as the only way to be or |
| Christian Fundamentalist...Religiously- NO | | | | literally enforceable in our culture today. |
| Because "there is no other name under heaven, | | | | Fundamentalists look to the commands of "God" |
| (Jesus) by which a man can be saved. There is | | | | in the Old Testament, to kill unbelievers, |
| one true Christian Church and whoever | | | | just as much as they think Islamics do in |
| believes on the name of the Lord..Jesus | | | | reading the Koran. Fundamentalist would |
| Christ, shall be saved, while others are | | | | only tolerate Christian values, which can be |
| condemned. Fundamentalist Christians do NOT | | | | atrocious at times, and morality, which can |
| accept any other religious beliefs as valid | | | | be appalling. True Democracy and Biblical |
| to theirs, so no difference | | | | Christianity cannot co exist either. Someone |
| here."Scripturally - no. Because his | | | | would insist on someone else losing their |
| allegiance is to the five pillars of Islam | | | | rights to free thought. "My Kingdom is not |
| and the Quran (Koran)."And of the American | | | | of this world, if my kingdom was of this |
| Fundamentalist...Scripturally NO because his | | | | world, then would my servants fight," said |
| allegiance is to the Ten Pillars of | | | | Jesus in Matthew. No military solutions |
| | | | were encouraged by Jesus unless there was |
| Christianity, which they tend to modify | | | | only one sword per 12 disciples allowed. |
| according to the need, and the Bible, which | | | | Turn the other cheek, Love your enemies, |
| is neither always historically accurate nor | | | | don't slay them. Christian Fundamentalism is |
| inerrant, no matter what they say! There is | | | | a good example of the mess you get when you |
| nothing in America that says you have to be a | | | | mix Old Testament politics with New Testament |
| Bible believing Christian to be a true | | | | sentiments, thinking it takes both to make up |
| American. It is freedom of religion | | | | a proper Christian text. It's old wine in |
| here...all religions. If Fundamentalists | | | | new wineskins."Every Muslim government is |
| have their way, we might all want to amend | | | | either dictatorial or autocratic."And of the |
| the Bill of Rights to say "freedom FROM | | | | Christian Fundamentalist...Every Christian |
| religion.""Geographically - no. Because his | | | | Fundamentalist government is either |
| allegiance is to Mecca, to which he turns in | | | | dictatorial or autocratic too. This |
| prayer five times a day."And of the American | | | | statement shows the ignorance of whoever made |
| Fundamentalist...Geographically No because | | | | it up. The Christian Kings of Europe didn't |
| his mental allegiance is to Jerusalem, Israel | | | | do to badly in the dictatorial or autocratic |
| and the Holy Land at least twice a week, | | | | department, and might we mention the |
| about which they talk all the time as if they | | | | Popes?"Spiritually - no. Because when we |
| have ever been there, know the real history | | | | declare "one nation under God," the |
| of, or think they would be welcome. Millions | | | | Christian's God is loving and kind, while |
| of Christian Americans have a soft spot for | | | | Allah is NEVER referred to as heavenly |
| Rome too..."Socially - no. Because his | | | | father, nor is he ever called love in The |
| allegiance to Islam forbids him to make | | | | Quran's 99 excellent names."And of the |
| friends with Christians or Jews."And of the | | | | Christian Fundamentalists...Spiritually no |
| Christian Fundamentalist...Socially NO | | | | because the God and Jesus of the Book of |
| because his allegiance to Christianity | | | | Revelation drowns the world in blood, |
| forbids him to make friends with "the world" | | | | plagues, signs, trumpets, vials and |
| (love not the world, neither the things that | | | | slaughter. The Christian Jesus is loving but |
| are in the world, whoever loves the world, | | | | no one does what he really says as it really |
| the love of the father is not in him.") Paul | | | | is too hard. The Christian God the father is |
| cursed the Jews in the New Testament, and | | | | absent mostly, but is angry, jealous, and is |
| hoped they'd cut their private parts if they | | | | patterned after the war gods of paganism |
| wanted to be circumcised. Martin Luther , a | | | | every bit as much. I suggest a good read of |
| Christian, taught they should be killed like | | | | Karen Armstrongs. History of God. The |
| pigs. Lots of places in NT tell the church | | | | Fundamentalist Christian God is 'loving" only |
| to have no relationships outside the church. | | | | to the degree you obey and fall in line. If |
| including not being "unequally yoked with | | | | not, you are toast just as with any other |
| unbelievers.""Politically - no. Because he | | | | "god" The Jesus of the Gospels is NOT the |
| must submit to the mullah (spiritual | | | | same being in the book of Revelation. The |
| leaders), who teach annihilation of Israel | | | | fundy Jesus comes back with a Rod of Iron to |
| and Destruction of America, the great | | | | threaten and beat the poop out of those that |
| Satan."And of the Christian | | | | don't obey and love God #1 the father and God |
| Fundamentalist...Politically No because he | | | | # 2 himself...we won't get into God #3. |
| must submit to the ministry, ( "obey those | | | | Monotheism is basically divisive by nature, |
| that have the rule over you, {ministers}, for | | | | even if the one God is three, co-this and |
| they watch out for your souls"). Many | | | | co-that."Therefore after much study and |
| Fundamentalist Christians teach and hope for | | | | deliberation.... perhaps we should be very |
| the annihilation of everyone outside of | | | | suspicious of ALL MUSLIMS in this country. |
| Israel. Christians often attribute anything | | | | They obviously cannot be both "good" Muslims |
| against them as of the Great Satan Christian | | | | and good Americans. Call it what you wish.... |
| fundamentalists call Roman Catholicism, the | | | | it's still the truth."And of Christian |
| Great Whore, so don't sweat someone calling | | | | Fundamentalists..Therefore after much study |
| America or Washington the Great Satan. | | | | and deliberation..perhaps we should all be |
| | | | very suspicious of ALL, and I Mean ALLLLLLLL |
| Paul cursed anyone who did not believe his | | | | Christians in this country. They obviously |
| true gospel and called the people of Crete, | | | | can't be both good Christians and Good |
| liars. Jesus is said to have said the | | | | Americans. Call it what you will, it's still |
| Pharisees were "of your Father the Devil." | | | | the truth.Side note: Whoever actually came |
| Name calling envoking the name of Satan to | | | | up with this ignorant and insane list of |
| define the enemy is a fundamentalist art | | | | reasons why an Islamic cannot be a good |
| form. It's what you do when you are afraid | | | | American is deluded, ignorant, self absorbed, |
| of the unknown."Domestically - no. Because he | | | | mistaken, misinformed and the reason we'll |
| is instructed to marry four women and beat | | | | end up with nothing but a sanitation problem |
| and scourge his wife when she disobeys him | | | | to fix and where will we be then? Actually |
| (Quran 4:34)."And of the Christian | | | | they are FunnyMentalists, which was nicely |
| Fundamentalist...Domestically no because a | | | | coined by someone recently."If you find |
| fundamentalist Christian is instructed to | | | | yourself intellectually in agreement with the |
| marry only one which is his property, but | | | | above statements, perhaps you will share this |
| cannot talk in church and can only ask her | | | | with your friends. The more who understand |
| husband bible questions at home. A | | | | this, the better it will be for our country |
| christian believes if you "beat (spank)a | | | | and our future."Actually if you find yourself |
| child with a rod, it won't kill him." | | | | in agreements with the above statements about |
| Fundamentalist Christian women are to keep | | | | why a Muslim cannot be a good American, you |
| silence in the church, obey their husbands as | | | | will have to also conclude that neither can a |
| unto the Lord, and call him "Lord" as did | | | | good Christian fundamentalist be one. |
