Those aren't facts. It would be nice if you could at the very least post some links about these imaginary attacks on gays by Christian mobs.Again...you can't seem to be able to separate the difference between refusing to bake a cake for you and murdering you in front of cheering crowds. Most American Muslims want to institute Sharia Law in America....which means your death sentence.The Old Testament is the history of the Hebrew nation.It's one thing to believe that homosexuality is a sin.....quite another to murder people because of your religion.
Which is exactly what Christians in Uganda do, (thanks in no small part to.American evangelicals)
Nothing in the Bible says it's okay to murder someone because of their life choices. Matter of fact....Jesus was considered at one time to be a sinner by the Sanhedrin in Jerusalem and even his own people in Nazareth because of his open-mindedness and his habit of having supper with sinners the locals wouldn't be caught dead with.
And you must think every Christian in America is a missionary....apparently.
The Old Testament is part of the bible. Ever read it? Says it's totally cool to kill gays, required in fact. And there are Christians that want to follow the OT and kill gays (bunch right here on USMB). Here on my side of y'alls religious doctrine, two sides of the same coin, fundie Muslims and Christians.
Christianity is based only on the teachings of Jesus Christ (New Testament).....not Israel.
The only reason the Old Testament and the New Testament are together is because it is important to learn from the past.
Unfortunately people like you like to live in the past.
Jesus was the new doctrine which is what Christianity is based on.
The Old Testament is the doctrine of the Jewish people.
You have to go back over 4000 years to point a finger and blame every Christian you meet.....and this doesn't justify the hatred you can't seem to get rid of. Problem with that is you simply don't understand what you're talking about on this subject because you choose to believe people that want to mislead you and turn you into a hateful and spiteful excuse for a human-being. And the press tells you that you have every right to be so.
The Old Testament is part of the bible. It is part of Christianity. I don't hate Christians. I don't even hate Christianity. I look at Jesus and Elvis the same...dig their vibe, but some of their fans leave a lot to be desired.
None of this changes the FACTS. In the United States of America, Muslims support gay rights more than evangelical Christians.
Solid majorities of all major religious groups in the U.S. support laws protecting LGBT people from discrimination in housing, public accommodations, and the workplace. Among major religious groups, the strongest supporters of LGBT nondiscrimination protections are Unitarian Universalists (90 percent), Jews (80 percent), Hindus (79 percent), Buddhists (75 percent), and religiously unaffiliated Americans (78 percent). Even majorities of faith traditions that have been historically more opposed to LGBT rights support these protections. Fully seven in 10 Mormons (70 percent), along with 65 percent of black Protestants, 60 percent of Muslims, 54 percent of white evangelical Protestants, and 53 percent of Jehovah’s Witnesses favor LGBT nondiscrimination laws.[...]
Majorities of most major religious groups oppose religiously-based refusals to serve gay or lesbian people. The greatest opposition comes from Unitarian Universalists (83 percent), Jews (68 percent), religiously unaffiliated Americans (66 percent), Buddhists (66 percent) and Muslims (60 percent). White evangelical Protestants (55 percent) and Mormons (54 percent) are the only religious groups where a majority support allowing small business owners to refuse service to gay and lesbian customers if doing so violates their religious beliefs. Jehovah’s Witnesses have no majority opinion: a plurality (43 percent) are opposed, while almost as many are in favor (39 percent); 18 percent offer no opinion.[...]
White evangelical Protestants are the only major religious group in which a majority oppose same-sex marriage (31 percent favor, 60 percent oppose).

For the record.....I don't care about your statistics....because they can be manipulated quite easily. It is written in the Koran that lying is a very important tool that can be used by believers against non-believers. In the Bible lying is a mortal sin. Thou Shall Not Bare False Witness. Another thing.....everything that you read in the Bible isn't taught in Christianity as something you must do to others. It is sometimes a lesson on what not to do.
And again you are confusing other countries with the United States. In other countries both Christians and Muslims kill gays. In the United States it is Christians that are the greatest danger to gays...there are many, many more white evangelical Christians than Muslims (who don't hate gays as much as evangelical Christians do anyway).
Of course you don't believe facts....you're a Trump sycophant.
You feel that when a so-called Christian kills somebody in Uganda...it's over religion.
Having spent alot of time deployed to Africa I know the primary cause of violence is because of tribal differences.
I was deployed to Somalia in 93' and every couple of weeks there would be a flare up over tribal differences. Bunch of idiots got high on Khat and started shooting at each other. Many other fights were usually Christians fighting with Muslims. Christians are being slaughtered in many countries..Yemen, Sudan, Iraq, Iran to name a few...but the media refuses to post stories about it. This has been going on for over a decade.
Now....if you can point to a single time your life was threatened by a missionary or a Bible-banger, please feel free.
