She was Kurd and he was Sunni Iraqi. I thought the Kurds were the good guys but apparently they're just the different guys.

Aren't there some Christians out there who would like to stone a boy for loving another boy?

They don't use physical torture Spex. Christians are more humane. They use phsychological torture.

What difference does it make.... they don't. You're condemning people for what you think they are thinking, unless your talking about Phelps and he's the only one that believes he is Christian.

Hey...I would not feel so all alone. Everybody must get stoned. Or burned at the stake.

They don't do it but it is fair, then, to condemn the book that states that is what should be done?

From Wikipedia.com:
In keeping with the Latin etymology of the word, religious believers have often seen other religions as superstition. Likewise, atheists, agnostics, deists, and skeptics regard religious belief as superstition. (Edmund Burke, the Irish orator, once said, "Superstition is the religion of feeble minds".) From the broadest perspective, all religion is a form of superstition. Religious practices are most likely to be labelled "superstitious" by outsiders when they include belief in extraordinary events, an afterlife, supernatural interventions, apparitions or the efficacy of prayer, charms, incantations, the meaningfulness of omens, and prognostications. |

Quote:
The bible says many things, describes many customs and remedies for social ills that were applied at the time. There are plenty of sections of the Bible that are all kissy, lovey, forgive everyone, too. But the Moslems still practice these atrocities by social custom and the interpretations by their clerics of the Koran. What does that have to do with the Bible?

That one has nothing to do with religion. That's about fear and superstition of witches casting spells. But rkzenrage is so consumed with his hate, he can't understand the difference, even when it's stated in the article.
