Gah
It seems that whenever I listen to someone talk about this whole Taliban thing and other religious nuts, the first thing that comes out of their mouths is "they arn't real Muslims!" ...or real Christians ...or real whatever, depending on the situation. The same could be said of Jerry Falwell or Pat Robertson. Most Americans view them as extreamists with no connection to the Truth(tm).Open your fucking Bibles, people! These nutbags are closer to "god" than any of you idiots! Flip through some verses like Deuteronomy (or however it's spelled) 13, and read on from there! Basically, it says that if another person comes at you with another religion, you should kill them. And if they are your own brother? Then you should be the first to kill them... without mercy. But what's that you Christians are saying? You say that's the old law, and isn't applicable anymore? Goody... now you have a god that can't make up his mind.Of course, your scriptures are no better. Take the whole "moneychangers in the Temple" scene. Jesus walks into the temple, sees people doing something he doesn't like... so he goes berzerk, starts destroying other people's property, and whips them like animals! The next time you find yourself in a sticky situation and ask yourself "What Would Jesus Do?" ...just remember that the answer is probibly something that will get you arrested.

Well, the question must be asked: if no other christians are going against the christian coalition, who's to say they don't represent "true" christianity?The problem here, ...RN, is that religious scripture is open to interpretation. That, and the fact that it's so dated (try finding the churches explanation for genetics).
Open to interpretation? Most of the "interpretation" I see is just a convienant forgetfulness when it comes to scripture that is considered evil by today's standards. I think Falwell called them "buffet Christians," as in they pick and choose what to believe. Seriously... how can you "interpret" a scripture like Deuteronomy 13 (to call upon an earlier example) that says, and I quote the NAB here,"If there arises amung you a prophet or dreamer... (blah blah blah) ...urging you to follow other gods (blah blah blah) ...that prophet or dreamer shall be put to death... thus shall you perge the evil from your midst. If your own full brother... (blah blah) entices you secretly to serve other gods... (blah blah blah) ...do not yeild to him or listen to him, to spare or shield him, but kill him. Your hand shall be the first raised to slay him; the rest of the people shall join in with you." And it goes on to say that if you encounter a city in Isreal that worships another god, burn it to the ground and kill all their women and children, eta, eta. Now how the hell do Judeo-Christian-Muslims anser that?
