Throughout human history, just about every follower of any religion or faith has been persecuted. Just ask the Scientologists. There was a time in history that one religious faction in particular did much of the persecuting: Christians. So lovely to see one extremist sect saying now that the Episcopal Church confirmed Mary Glasspool, a lesbian, as a Los Angeles bishop, Christians all over the world are going to be slaughtered by Muslims in a jihad.
According to Jeff Walton with the Institute on Religion & Democracy (IRD), Glasspool’s election will make it tough for Christians in certain countries.
“Last week there were over 500 people who were killed in three villages surrounding Jos Nigeria,” he shares. “These Christian villagers were killed for their faith. The people who attacked them were yelling ‘God is great’ in Arabic, and one of the charges against the Christians was that they were immoral.”
Walton explains the rationale behind that accusation. “When a Muslim sees the newspaper headline, ‘Anglican elects partnered lesbian bishop,’ they don’t draw a distinction between African Christians and European or American Christians,” he says.
Not that Walton really believes the Episcopal Church will have blood on its hands!
The IRD spokesman is quick to point out that he is not blaming the Episcopal Church for the attacks in Nigeria. But he says Episcopal Church officials in the United States are not taking that factor into account in their race to be “all inclusive.”
Yes. Because other religions cannot be all inclusive, nobody should be. This man is a poison.

This dickwad knows perfectly well that Muslims are terrified of Christians in their midst because so many muslims start opting for Christianity, and its comparative freedoms, when other Muslims don’t have the power to stop them. This is THE reason Christians are persecuted in Muslim countries. Muslims know they can’t compete with it. That’s why so many Muslim countries have the death penalty for converting to another religion.
But guys like this stay up at night trying to find angles and talking points to screw us. We can’t let the lies just sit there. We have to answer back with the truth.

QUEERTY wrote, “Yes. Because other religions cannot be all inclusive, nobody should be.” As a point of order, other religions, at least some, can be all inclusive. All it takes
is exercising one’s First Amendment rights to create as many
all-inclusive religions as you like. It’s really not very
hard to do, all the more so since there is no requirement for
a religion to be logically self-consistent!
If you give me 100 distinct, theologically “all inclusive” tenets, I can easily give you a computer program that will generate for you more than 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 separate religions! Then there will be more “all inclusive” religions than ones that are not “all inclusive”, excluding extraterrestrial religions, of course, since we don’t know how many of those there are.

People of European and North African descent should go back to their traditional “old religion.” Wholly inclusive and adaptable, as well as being psychologically more grounded and realistic, with way more spirituality and pageantry. Like I’ve said, just add Jesus to the pantheon.
Zeus rules!
