Well, I seriously doubt that Christians are going to start strapping on dynomite and start blowing up Muslim children, and then think that God would think we are wonderful. We aren't exactly the same as them.

Yeah, well I would've given that up too if I lost so many crusades, obviously when Christians use violence, it only hurts themselves.

'At the camp, Fischer stresses the need for children to purify themselves in order to be part of the "army of God". She strongly believes that children need to be in the forefront of turning America toward conservative Christian values. She also feels that Christians need to focus on training kids since "the enemy" (Islam) is focused on training theirs. She refers to the Earth as "a sicko world" and wishes for Jesus' return. In the preparation meetings before the camp begins, she asks other staff members how they should prepare for "demonic forces" that may be stirred up during camp services.'
(Part the Deux):
'In one scene shot at Christ Triumphant Church, Lou Engle preaches a message urging children to join the fight to end abortion in America. Children are shown a series of plastic fetuses and have their mouths covered with red tape with "Life" written across it. Engle is a founder of the Justice House of Prayer and a leader of Harvest International Ministries, the religious organization with which both the church and Fischer's ministry are affiliated. He prays for Bush to have the strength to appoint "righteous judges" who will overturn Roe v. Wade. By the end of the sermon, the children are chanting, "Righteous judges! Righteous judges!" In another scene, a woman brings a life-sized cutout of Bush to the front of the church, and has the children stretch their hands toward him in prayer. This is a derivative of laying hands, a common practice in charismatic Christian circles.'
There's been bombings of abortion clinics in the US. Not to mention the likes of Timothy McVeigh, and Scott Roeder. You do the maths, Ruptured Retards.
I've said it before, but it bears repeating: Right-wing Fundamentalist Christianity. It should be illegal.
Yeah, Christians don't strap dynamite to themselves and start bombing Muslim children. They just drop bombs on them.
Besides, Christians are to busy brainwashing their own children, not to mention murdering doctors and thinking God will reward them for it.
Yes, I know that Christians and Muslims are different. I don't like Islam or Christianity, even though they are different religions and even though most of the Christians I know and all of the Muslims I know are perfectly nice, good people, both religions provide justifications for people who aren't like that to commit atrocities. Both have pathways that can lead to murder and fundamentalism. And it's Fundamentalism that's the problem.
From that Wikipedia article:
"Throughout the movie, there are cutscenes to a debate between Fischer and Mike Papantonio, an attorney and a radio talk-show host for Air America Radio's Ring of Fire. Papantonio questions Fischer's motives for focusing her ministry efforts on children. Fischer explains that she does not believe that people have the freedom to choose their belief system once they pass childhood, and that it is important that they be 'indoctrinated' in evangelical Christian values from a young age. Fischer also explains that democracy is flawed 'because we have to give everyone equal freedom.'"
Messed. Up.
No, Christians don't blow themselves up.
They just send drones over to Muslim areas and kill them that way.
Confused?
