Just for fun I am going to address the OP one more time:
No, some Christians hate science. Or are totally ignorant of it. If one demands that the myths of Genesis are true then one is in that category.
Not all wars etc., but a fair share of them. By the way, by twice over stating a claim makes it a strawman so we have two fake claims by the OP so far.
This is beyond anything that I have heard people say. Muslims might try to claim it is not the same as Islam, but they have their own deluded beliefs about Islam.
Three fake claims.
Three more quick fake claims. Six claims so far, all six of them fake.
Not even close. Another gross over exaggeration. Seven for seven so far.
See above. Eight out of eight.
Nine out of nine.
He's on a roll folks.
Agaian, some, not all. You have yet to get one claim right.
Some, not all. Once again, strawmanning your claims makes them invalid.
And the streak is broken at twelve! This one, though poorly worded appears to be true. I wonder how he is going to refute it?
Poorly worded since he does not tell us what would be considered a change. Or how many times must the Bible change to qualify for many times? He is back on a roll again.
Though it is hard to say exactly what religion he had, Christianity appears to be on the top of the list. One thing is clear, he was not an atheist.
Again an over statement. It is for many. It is not for all.
Since you got an amazing 14 out of 16 wrong at least, and you do not seem to want to discuss claims that were correct does this thread even have a reason for existing?
As requested by a poster, i am listing a set of what i perceive to be caricatures and phony narratives about Christianity.
This assumes a specific, exact, historical definition of Christianity, as defined by the Founder.
1. Christians hate science.
No, some Christians hate science. Or are totally ignorant of it. If one demands that the myths of Genesis are true then one is in that category.
2. Christianity is responsible for all wars, exploitation, and oppression.
Not all wars etc., but a fair share of them. By the way, by twice over stating a claim makes it a strawman so we have two fake claims by the OP so far.
3. Christianity is the same as islam, but not as peaceful.
This is beyond anything that I have heard people say. Muslims might try to claim it is not the same as Islam, but they have their own deluded beliefs about Islam.
Three fake claims.
4. Muslims would love us, and live in harmony, if they weren't triggered by the hateful Christians.
5. American Christians want a theocracy.
6. American Christians want to ban all books but the bible.
Three more quick fake claims. Six claims so far, all six of them fake.
7. The bible is the source of all hate and oppression in the world.
Not even close. Another gross over exaggeration. Seven for seven so far.
8. Christians want to force everyone to believe, and go to church.
See above. Eight out of eight.
9. Christians hate atheists, agnostics, Buddhists, muslims, Hindus, and any who do not believe as they do.
Nine out of nine.
10. America was founded by irreligious skeptics, who saw the evil of Christianity and tried to keep them from meddling in the lives of others.
He's on a roll folks.
11. Christians want to control and manipulate everyone.
Agaian, some, not all. You have yet to get one claim right.
12. Christians cannot reason or follow science, as they are blinded by their superstitions.
Some, not all. Once again, strawmanning your claims makes them invalid.
13. The bible is full of errors.
And the streak is broken at twelve! This one, though poorly worded appears to be true. I wonder how he is going to refute it?
14. The bible has changed many times.
Poorly worded since he does not tell us what would be considered a change. Or how many times must the Bible change to qualify for many times? He is back on a roll again.
15. Hitler was a Christian.
Though it is hard to say exactly what religion he had, Christianity appears to be on the top of the list. One thing is clear, he was not an atheist.
16. Christianity is an opiate for humanity, squashing free expression.
Again an over statement. It is for many. It is not for all.
There are more, and i am sure the helpful posters here will chime in with additional false narratives. We can debate the merits of each charge, to see if there is any validity, or if they are bigoted smears, from a competing ideology.
I look forward to a civil and informative discussion.
