		<description><![CDATA[Islam sucks, but your grasp on Christianity does too. 

Simply put there is no God so the argument isn&#039;t about which religion is better, it&#039;s all about how disgusting Islam is and how full of crap it&#039;s followers are.

		<description><![CDATA[One problem with your polygamy Mormon analogy and the Muslim religion. One of them is banned under our laws and the second is not.

Freedom to practice your religious beliefs under our constitution is just that - freedom from prosecution from the government.

Now - if the prosecutor could show that the Imam actually molested the women under the cover of religion (again as I pointed out before - has happened with Christians and Jewish religious figures) then I would be the first  to say that we need to throw the books at him.

But that was not my point in this thread. The entire article is short on facts but long on accusations simply because the alleged sexual deviant belongs to the Muslim religion. 

So I ask again - if this guy was Catholic or Jewish or even a mainstream Mormon, would we be talking about his religion or his sexual deviancy? I&#039;ll bet it would not be his religion. Which brings me to my point - bigotry under any circumstances (even if it is against a religion we find abhorrent) is appalling. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thank you.  



Your Mormon example is a good one, especially if we posit a member of the LDS church.  However, if we posit a member of the breakaway sect(s) that still practice polygamy, I think it changes the equation quite a bit.  Either member can transgress but I would be inclined to think that the latter guy, who comes from a more closed, authoritarian, and rejectionist community would be likely to try to justify any sexual misconduct by reference to his religious doctrines.  (After reading Krakauer&#039;s _Under the Banner of Heaven_, I&#039;m absolutely convinced that accepting polygamy is a terrible choice that will cause men to become completely unhinged.)  The LDS church, however, is an admirable institution in my experience as a friend of the church, and I doubt that any of its doctrines would be of use to any criminal defendant.  



So, yes, Mr. Greenfield is on solid ground.  Islam is such a repulsive set of beliefs and it undergirds &quot;the perfect closed system&quot; as Baron Boddisey noted.  If a Muslim accused seeks to exonerate himself by saying his conduct is sanctioned by his religion, that may well be true but as DG states at the outset, the doctrines involved are suspect at the outset.  If all he did was some kind of &quot;anointing,&quot; wellll, the devil is in the details.  If the doctrine doesn&#039;t sanction sexual assault, he didn&#039;t assault the women, and the women are falsely accusing him, he should have his day in court on those points.  If he did assault the women, I can&#039;t wait to hear what Islamic doctrines permit him to do that.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The wiki entry of Iglesia Ni Cristo does not paint a pretty picture.

I had heard of this church in the last 2 years.

If they are butt head, I will hear more in the future.

It will be along the lines of some Muslim, homosexual or communist telling me that they are Christians, therefore Christians are bad and defend their actions or give up your faith and accept our ways.  It is the usual line of argument.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Concrete ages.  Some concretes used in Spanish forts for instance got harder fro the 1st 400 years After that period they decrease in strength.  I leaned this after visiting national park at Fort Saint Augustine.

All concretes are not equal so some of these concretes might have different lifespans.

Plus building are like air frames. Airframes develop cracks over time due to cyclic stress or or any other stresses.

Likewise building undergo stresses. Such as earthquakes, diurnal thermal cycle, seasonal cycles.

It was just these building&#039;s time considering th church leaders lack of engineering principles (Then again I did not pay as much attention in confirmation as a should have. Point is that the leaders are deficient in engineering, but I really can;t throw stones. I am deficient in some areas of theology.  6 of 1 half dozen of anther as the saying goes.).

The Catholic church leadership is not made up of civil engineers.  They probably did not give much thought to this.  Now maybe they will.   Some catholic building inspectors can inspect churches in the diocese,region or country and give their professional assessment to the leadership and congregation.

The Iglesia Ni Cristo are new.  their time will also come. Regardless that they have re-bar in the concrete they will also deteriorate. 

Nowadays we coats the re-bar in concrete for roads to stop or at least slow corrosion.  Point is at some point those Iglesia Ni Cristo buildings will have to be torn down and rebuilt or at some future date they will fall down too.

Besides not one Catholic church fell down.  In America we are so lazy in our talk that we call the church buildings churches.  The church is the congregation.  The congregation is diminished on earth, but it goes on.  Now it is as it always is &quot;in a rebuilding phase&quot;.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well isn&#039;t it a Jewish saying that you save a soul you save the world? So it doesn&#039;t really matter how many you saved so as long as you tried. Now this Iglesia Ni Cristo is comparing the destruction of centuries old Catholic Churches to the strength of their newly engineered temples and claiming that it is as foretold in the Bible that only the true church of god will withstand such and such...with accompanying Bible verse of course. So you see.....in order to justify itself, religion and the religious do not ever mind to destroy the competition. Is that Christlike? Is that something you want to believe that religion ought to be? Or how religious people should behave? I meant to use that as an example not as a condemnation in particular to or in defense of the other.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One concept that I did not know until several years ago was the concept not pf Christianity but of Christianities.  You should look it up.

 Iglesia Ni Cristo has been around since 1913.  I only heard about in the last year or so.

The building would have only held so many people  How many more do you think would have fit in?

I am not real familiar with the Filipino community, but they are pretty good here in America.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First - your apology accepted. Thanks.

Second - You are right. The prosecutors did bring charges against the Imam and so there may be more to this story. (Something I pointed out that we need more information of).

As for the bigotry charge. What else would you call it? Have there been other religious figures who have behaved inappropriately with their charges? Of course. If a Mormon priest were to have been charged with the exact same accusation, would we be correct to lay this at Mormonism door? Of course not. We would correctly blame the person not his religion. Why then in this (and many many other example) is it ok to blame the guy&#039;s religion? Especially when no details have been put forth to substantiate it?

		<description><![CDATA[man I couldn&#039;t care less if you pray to God or Dog. My point is.....overly, extremely religious people are the scourge of the world. Because with extremism comes ambition. All I&#039;m saying is that y&#039;all Bible/Qur&#039;an/Thalmud etc...ad infinatum could do with a little more of less. My country right now has suffered through a awful calamity.....that big storm that just passed through. Ok....while there was a certain locally popular indigenous church (called Iglesia Ni Cristo) where some residents tried to seek shelter from the storm....they were refused entry on the grounds that they were not members of the church. Now after the storm, the church was about the only structure standing. Meaning it could&#039;ve protected people. But hell no. Non members could go to hell for all they care. By the way....that church is creeping into the USA by way of the Filipino community. It&#039;s like our own version of Scientology.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some pretty far out spin there. God is the same as Christ, the Old Testament is the same as the New, etc....all in an effort to link Christ to rape, I have to say I am impressed. What a great mystery you have solved, the Christian God and Christ are rapists! It sucks that you had to do all that scholarly hard work to prove it. One thing you have to admire about Muhammad is that he just lays it out there; he is the divine grand champion of rape.]]></description>
