And some would have us believe the selective tolerance by liberals is a myth_
As do I Jerry, although big government is usurping more and more of those rights everyday_
But most universities are subsidized by government these days, which is suppose be constitutionally intolerant of such religious discrimination and persecution_
As far as I can tell, Islam has been received exceptionally well in the United States_
Especially considering the world-wide rape, assault, oppression, murder and destruction committed in its name_
ie; They were simply taking advantage of an opportunity to punish their perceived enemy; a Christian!
But, I wonder what would happen if a pro-life home-owner complained about a black worker in their home because they assumed he was most likely a democrat and therefore pro-choice?!
I'm afraid I have no response to such an amazing well thought out argument_:surrender ..........:giggle1:
Correct; but only because I'm not a member of the Christian Faith nor any other for that matter_
For what its worth, I don't have a dog in this fight PoRob; I'm simply pointing out the obvious_

The Christian Bible says that "an eye for an eye" is also a justified course of action sometimes_I have seen enough examples of how believers use totally irrational views to justify their choices on getting a pound of flesh.
The point is that hiring a lawyer is not turning the other cheek....especially when multiple apologies were issued. That is not forgiving.
I already covered that:The Christian Bible says that "an eye for an eye" is also a justified course of action sometimes_
I would imagine a good Christian knows when it's appropriate to turn the other cheek and when it's appropriate to demand an the eye for an eye_
IMO the Christians are well aware that the apology by those who hate them is insincere and meaningless and it's only a matter of time before a similar incident occurs again, either here or somewhere else_
Perhaps the Christians believe that plucking enough of their enemies eyes out will teach them a lesson which they don't seem to be learning from turning the other cheek_
Getting your eye for an eye is reverting back to the OT, that is the wonderful thing about christanism, you can rationalize nearly everything with the canon.

I was agreeing with you by providing my take on the related liberal policy of "selective tolerance"_Could you expand on this a bit? I'm not sure where you were going with this and what you are believing my beliefs to be.
"turned on" ??? Are you seriously asking if Christians get sexually aroused reading bible passages?Do Christians get turned on by those cheesy passages where so and so "knew" or "went into" some ho ?.......Just wondering..................
Seriously dude, can such words as these be motivated by anything other than hate?!I already covered that:
She didn't lose an eye, she got her apologies, but I know those who hold to irrational beliefs love to think they know the mind of dog....er....goddess....er.....spaghetti.....er....copper plates....um.....Baal.....er....
Occam's razor__I thought I made that quite clear several posts back Gimme!PS....what evidence is there of "hate" in this incident?
Um, disbelief mixed with humor....and a lot of pity.Seriously dude, can such words as these be motivated by anything other than hate?!
Not Occam, but jumping to conclusions.Occam's razor__I thought I made that quite clear several posts back Gimme!
Although I suppose the long history of far-left attacks on Christianity was a dead giveaway as well_

ie; don't worry, we're on the same page_____I think?!
Yea, there's really alot of lynchings and stake burnings and clinic shootings goin on these days, huh Gimme?!Um, disbelief mixed with humor....and a lot of pity.
Not Occam, but jumping to conclusions.
And I hate to break it to you, but this wasn't an "attack". As I said, people with irrational beliefs often come to delusional conclusions.
Hatred would be displayed by lynching or burning someone at the stake......or shooting someone at an abortion clinic.
Besides, you brought up getting an eye, a pound of flesh....
Seriously??? Christians have "had their way"???Christians in this nation are NOT victims either. Plot out how many of our political leaders do not declare themselves Christian. Christians have had their way and still get their way almost all the freegin' time. Anyone whining that they are victims of anything in this country is beyond laughable.
Your denial of the far-left's relentless war on religion indicates your politics takes precedence over your faith_In a country that is overwhelmingly right of center, far left attacks are more useless than far right attacks. If you think hearing something they don't like means Christians are under attack, everyone everywhere s constantly under attack. As a Christian myself, i can state with certainty that the claim we are under attacks pure nonsense.
Your denial of the far-left's relentless war on religion indicates your politics takes precedence over your faith_
Sorry Boo, but it's quite obvious that you don't take your Christian Faith very seriously_
Were we discussion the number of times a thing happens or whether it happens? You posted a extremely minor, tiny, rare occurrence......and called it HATE!!!!Yea, there's really alot of lynchings and stake burnings and clinic shootings goin on these days, huh Gimme?!
In reality, the very few abortion clinic shootings that did occur were publicly condemned by the great majority of the Christian community for committing such violence in the name of their faith_
Your irrational hate has caused you to believe these isolated acts of violence of being common place_
This is a far-left tactic, utilized to influence public opinion_(which only works on the weak of mind...hint)
I posted a tiny occurrence that is anything but rare or minor_Were we discussion the number of times a thing happens or whether it happens? You posted a extremely minor, tiny, rare occurrence......and called it HATE!!!!
If I posted examples of persecution by your standards, I could include Romans feeding Christians to lions in the colosseum_You have jumped to an unsupported conclusion. this was not an example of hate, I gave you examples of acts of hatred.
It got you wound up. You recognized that these were examples of hatred carried out by believers.
LOL....you got yourself into such a frenzy when REAL examples of HATRED by believers were presented....that you thought you could read my mind and imagined I thought they were "common" now. I didn't, that is your JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS AGAIN.
Breathe.
Seems appropriate.
I think he should have to drag a big wood cross around campus for a week, including the restroom......24/7.
Seriously??? Christians have "had their way"???
It appears to me that Christians have rarely had their way for the past few decades_
The Marx inspired far-left hatred of religion has been very successful in that area_
Oh please, spare us. The far left is too few and too powerless to do much of anything.
such a passionate cry from someone who claims not to have a dog in the fight. I guess you're just their white in shining armor.
yes. Christians pretty much own this country. no amount of crying victim is going to change this fact.
It got you wound up. You recognized that these were examples of hatred carried out by believers.
How do you distinguish 'the left' from 'the far left'?
I'm curious to see an example of a University that celebrated other religious holidays except for Christmas. I can see if the University in question be a private one such as Islamic or Hindu owned, but you could also see a Catholic University not wishing to display one on Ramadan too. Can you provide a news story please?It's the same why Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, The Hindu Festival of Lights, and Ramadan can be plastered all over university walls but no Merry Christmas, that must be replaced with Happy Holidays.
