He [Elisha] went up from there to Bethel; and while he was going up on the way, some small boys came out of the city and jeered at him, saying, “Go away, baldhead! Go away, baldhead!” When he turned around and saw them, he cursed them in the name of the LORD. Then two she-bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys. (NRSV)

 

The sons of Judah also captured 10,000 alive and brought them to the top of the cliff and threw them down from the top of the cliff, so that they were all dashed to pieces.(NASB)

 

Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, unto battle at Jahaz. And Jehovah our God delivered him up before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and all his people. And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed every inhabited city, with the women and the little ones; we left none remaining. (ASV)

 

Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy everything that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.' " … He took Agag king of the Amalekites alive, and all his people he totally destroyed with the sword.(NIV)

 

Samaria shall bear her guilt, because she has rebelled against her God; they shall fall by the sword, their little ones shall be dashed in pieces, and their pregnant women ripped open. (NRSV)

 

All of this found from the Bible. I've even copied it exactly the way it is, so that I won't be accussed of cherry picking ;) 

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but those are from the Old Testament, a book that Christians read for historical purposes, rather than what they get their laws from. Christians believe in the golden rule (do to others as you would have them do to you), not the laws in the Old Testament, or they would be Jewish.

And besides, I asked how Christianity is violent, not how it was. Have you heard of christians doing this in modern times? Christianity changed from what it was in the Dark Ages, and evolved, and that is something that Islam has not done, but desperately needs to do.

So...basically Christians ignore the book they're  meant to follow? The New testament is like the sequel to the old testament. One alone won't work without the other.

 

The old testament show's god's wrath towards sin(with some mercy), while the new testament shows His grace towards sin. Either way, it is a part of Christianity.

 

Also, many Christians are as xenophobic as the religious Islamic nuts. But you know what's the difference?

 

Let's take Ted Cruz for example. He thinks atheists shouldn't be president(only theists), and that abortions shouldn't be allowed. Why? Because of his beliefs.

Now, if you ask a reasonable Christian, they'll go ahead and say this isn't what a Christian should be.

 

Now, let us take ISIS. They do their regular schedule of raping and whatnot, and you see a PLETHORA of Muslims going out of their way to help people realize many Muslims can change, and have learned to accept other people's opinions. But guess what? Once that happens, people have to be jerks and say things such as "well the real islam says they are muslim" and so forth.

 

I mean, FUCK YOU(not to you, but to the people I'm talkin about). Do you want them to reform or not, because that's EXACTLY what they want to do. But once they try, people pull out the ''no true scottsman" card and make it impossible for muslims in this era to be accepted by people.

 

By people's logic, true Christians should kill me for not accepting anyone's cult. But no, they(as well as most religions) have had moderates create a no-violence version of their religion. Difference is, people don't care when it comes to Islam.

 

Christians are cool people. if you are one, I don't care at all! I'm fine! I care on whether you're a nice guy or not, and your taste. You apparently like pokemon, so it makes me like you more! Your religious beliefs don't make me hate you or love you any more!

Muslims are awesome folks as well. I live in a state with the most somalians in the whole country(2nd most in world)-it's Minnesota. I see moderates all the time trying to stop violence in the name of their god, but people never listen. Not sure why people can't realize there's already a regroup of Islam, but that's the world I suppose.

 

Religion will kill to the point of extinction.
