The history of the Baptists does not begin in America, but rather in Europe. The rise of the American Baptists in America to prominence only begins after 1800 during the Second Great Awakening. Here is a decent website for Baptist history. Baptist History
Wonderful...thanks for the history lesson. Europe seems to be guilty of alot of past evils.
Any criminal religious activity seems to have originated from outside the US.
Thanks for providing the incite.
I'm still waiting to hear about the Baptists running amok cutting off heads and subjugating
Christians (including Baptists) slaughtered up to 90% of America's indigenous population. I am quite sure that Baptists were well represented in the history of lynching in the South after the Civil War. If I remember right, the Southern Baptists opposed emancipation and even discussion about the morality of slavery.
I am glad that you appreciate learning history, 'whistle.
Letting people vote in an overly controlled manner does not equate with democracyi think you could pick leaders in a theocracy, no problem. it could still be democracy whether you held it over or under any principle.
democracy is held below representation in the US, such that majority gives way somewhat to plurality. it is subject to law and process. islam has all that law and process built into it, maybe out of a long history of functioning as a basis for societal control. that democracy is subject to that is perhaps an impediment, from an occidental perspective, but still democracy.

By the way...everything in the US originated from somewhere else....except Native Americans.
It seems that no one has clean hands.
Well maybe the Wiccans. Have they ever attacked anyone?

Them too, actually.
They migrated over from Asia when the land was still connected.

I wonder if they did that because they were Baptists or because they were racists.
I also wonder what political party most of those Southern Baptists belonged to...
Also I wonder what political party also has the only former Grand Wizard of the KKK currently in the Senate.
I'm not knocking you because you brought up a good point....but I think that the realities of religious persecution in this country and around the world needs to be addressed and the causative issues clarified, not just rationalized by a loud political action group.

One of my nieces is a Wiccan. She's bi-polar. She attacked me because I told here Robert Redford was a hypocrite.

Hmmm. I wonder if that is common.

I don't know. I never went to any of their ceremonies.
I have a problem with stripping in front of strangers.
And it will remain so until justice is established. There would be no need to fight if Muslims weren't oppressed by others as well as fellow "Muslims."Islam remains a violent religion, soaked in blood.
I see you haven't been keeping score.Buddhism, Christianity, and Hinduism (to name three other major religions) have advanced past that cycle of violence.
Violence became necessary when pagan persecution began. "Permission to fight is given to those upon whom war is made, because they are oppressed."Note also that both Christianity and Buddhism began peacefully while Islam was incredibly violent from the word go,
At the very least, "Christian teachings" encompass the Jewish Torah and the Tanakh. This is to say nothing of the writings of early church leaders such as Augustine, the history of the Catholic papacy, or the writings of Martin Luther.and that while Christian teachings (the New Testament)
Some honorable teachings can be found in Buddhism, but it is by and a large a religion that seeks to isolate itself entirely from the material world, as if this entire existence is pointless. I take it you've never read any of the sermons attributed to Gautama Buddha.and Buddhist scriptures all pronounce peace and brotherhood for all as the way,
Yet you've consistently been shown to be wrong when you've attempted to advance this point of yours.Islam in the Koran teaches adherents to enslave and murder the infidel.
Good thing non-Muslims have someone with such an intimate knowledge of Islam in their midst to warn them of the forthcoming slaughter.Then when caught Islam invariably claims the translation was wrong and the intent was different; all while taking violent actions based on the bloody teachings of Mohamed and absolving themselves of any blame because they have a religious duty to kill infidels.
And it will remain so until justice is established. There would be no need to fight if Muslims weren't oppressed by others as well as fellow "Muslims."
And Islam defines oppression as "someone else is in charge."Violence became necessary when pagan persecution began. "Permission to fight is given to those upon whom war is made, because they are oppressed."
If they are a minority they make babies and immigrate to try and become the majority.
As long as they are a minority they scream about persecution of the oppressed minorities.
So soon as they become a majority democracy vanishes along with the rights of non-believers.

Why do some of the more psychotic kafirs devote themselves to claiming that we want to kill them? It's as if you want that to be the case. I suppose your martyr complex can be attributed to your presumably Christian upbringing.

You may begin, if you wish, by responding to my rebuttal of another of your laughable claims a few pages back.
Oppression is not a college student with a wealthy family attempting to blow up an aircraft with a diaper.
Oppression is not being the son of the richest contractor in Saudi Arabia. [Osama Bin Laden]

muslims need to get a goddamn job. if you get up and work, instead of handycrafting foreign flags for demonstrations, there wouldnt be an issue at all. muslim nations ought to concentrate on developing some employment and prosperity, instead of anger and ignorance.
ive been to kuwait, saudi arabia, egypt, dubai and jordan. i found these countries (in the cities) to be functional and respectible. i put that up to employment and industry.
Was there a more oppressive person than Saddam Hussein?
