You mean like the Crusades?
Wayyyyyyyy too much typing now. In fact, Im fixin to take a nice little 1 hour nap!
Believe it or don't but I think everything about the Crusades was shameful.
I believe you.
Like anybody could take your word for what the Catholic church thinks.
Deflection, do better
I meant the bible should not be cherry picked by amateurs of average intelligence, for the reasons I articulated in my previous post
That will not stop them from trying though. I wonder how many of them stop to think that when they go to church/Sunday school, that what they are being taught is that particular minister's interpretation or idea of what a particular passage really means. It would be one thing to attend a lecture by one of the Biblical scholars you referred to, wherein he/she discusses particular verses in both the context of that entire passage but also in the context of the time and the world in which they were written. His interpretation would at least be backed by years of study and knowledge of the original language(s). Many of the evangelical preachers, otoh, don't even have degrees. When they claim that it's "the word of god," it's really the word of some humans who wrote it down, others who (mis)translated it, and yet others who translated it further -- and then filtered through the mind and mouth of the guy in the pulpit.
The virgin birth, death, and resurrection of Christ were also borrowed from earlier religions.
good insights
Your garden variety fundamentalist seems to think it is child's play to read and interpret the bible, and to cherry pick quotes to support preconceived ideas.
I am pretty sure there are fundamentalists who think the scripture was written in English. They have never even considered that they have never actually read the real New Testament, nor that it is extremely difficult for even trained theologians who can read Greek and Latin to read and interpret archaic texts which were written for the culture and mindset of people who lived thousands of years ago. Can you imagine how challenging it actually would be for an English speaking Deplorable of below average intelligence?
Saddam had kicked the inspectors out and limited where they could look.
Despots don't care about agreements, honesty, meeting their obligations or sanctions.
War WAS the last resort. We tried for more than thirteen years to get him to comply.
It was 1990. The first Gulf War.
Big mistake... evangelicals are cult not a real religion...religions do promote and accept the biggest crook in history
trumputin...and keep voting for him after they know he's the anti-Christ....

Wrong.
As of March, 2003, inspectors had unfettered access to all suspected sites.
As of the last NIE before invasion, Saddam wasn't even a threat to his immediate neighbors.
War was completely unnecessary. It was not a last resort. It's rare that a group is as vindicated by history as those who were against the war from the start.
We were right. You were wrong.
WRONG: they received LIMITED access after Bush threatened them with war. and continued to defy the UN. After a year of that bullshit we finally went in with a BI-PARTISAN vote and the agreement of 46 other nations.
Right; because YOU say so. But leaders in the Party of the Jackass, Republican Party and 46 other nations didn't think he wasn't a threat.
Again; because YOU say so. Idiots always think that HINDSIGHT makes for fabulous arguments.
There was no vindication; it was all hindsight second guessing malarkey. I remember the mood among MOST Americans after 9-11. Enough was enough. Unfortunately, leftists lack any common sense or intelligence and so they continue to make the same stupid mistakes and dumb arguments over and over again.
But I get it; you would prefer tyrants, dictators and terrorists to Democratic institutions; you're a dimwit.

I'll give you credit. It's kind of amazing to still see anyone on the right argue that Iraq was the right decision anymore.
That ship has sailed for most who have even a basic level of intelligence & historical understanding.

Did you miss the video where Biden says he wants to teach Islam in schools?

You guys are so dishonest because there's no way you are this stupid
Meanwhile your leaders support BLM and Antifa rioting and looting and even murdering. They never say anything about except its a myth. Plus your leaders let criminals out of jail because of a cold virus
