    I can see you are just going to ignore everything that doesn't agree with your POV, so I'm done. Have a good one.

    How rude and silly; you had no meaningful points and were patently wrong in every meaningful well and then you insult me. Classy move.
    In fact as far as I'm aware the UK is the only european nation that outright bans guns for civilians.
    Shotguns I'll give you (provided you're allowed 12 and larger gauges... because I mean... come on...) but not .22s.
    This is why people ban guns. Gun supporters don't know what guns are.

    Don't want to quote more than those, I think they are enough.

    Infracted.

    All three Abrahamic religious 'paths' (Christianity, Jewish, Islam) have scripture that idolizes and promotes killing of other people/cultures. Are you trying to single out the Jewish religion as the only one that does this?

    Dudes with beards angry at dudes with beards blow up dudes with beards. Dudes with beards subsequently become angry with dudes with beards for blowing up dudes with beards, so they blow up dudes with beards.

    Also, something about grotty arid shitholes apparently being arbitrarily important to variant magic sky ghosts. Or something.

    Have I missed anything?

    No not all three religious paths promote killing. Actually one of them forbids killing with no justice.

    Will say it again not a single country (especially) Western countries would have accepted the forming of the State of Israel if the same thing happened in their own country. This entire situation for Palestinians has nothing to do with religion, they don't claim the land based on the Koran but they claim it based on the fact that they actually lived.
    There is no recognized state of palestine by Israel or most of the western world so they have no "their land". One day one of those homemade rockets is going to kill the wrong Israeli and Israel will finally make a nice big parking lot out of the area and end the attacks once and for all...personally i hope it's much sooner than later

    All three are fine with and hold up as paragons people who killed 'unbelievers'.

    Man this conflict has been going for so long... I wonder if they'd feel empty without it.

    Generally when a country wins a war, and takes land, it remains in possession of that land until someone wins a war against them and takes it back. Pretty much end of discussion. Palestinians clearly need to step up their game if they really care so much about their "homeland." Land isn't going to be handed back to them on a silver platter because a bunch of anti Israel brainwashed students majoring in political science back in the United States believe in their cause. The same applies to idiots attempting to run a military blockade by claiming to be on a "humanitarian mission."

    Fixed it for you. Stop spreading misinformation about Abrahamic religions. None of these ever supported genocide or cultural intolerance. people just believe whatever they see on the media and these are sad times when people find it hard to believe that religious philosophies were originally peaceful in nature.

    Palestinians owned the land that was stolen from them. Not hard to grasp.
    Countries do not OWN land, they CONTROL it. Palestine obviously lost CONTROL of their land and now someone else controls it.

    /Yawn. Genocide and Cultural Intolerance is written right into the Bible, the Qur'an, and the Torah.

    You are entitled to your own false point of view. The scriptures and philosophies are full of examples of mercy, compassion and coexistence between people. The violence that people do these days (and peddle on the media) is a wrong representation of these creeds. You don't need to be Abrahamic to be genocidal anyway. Wake up, already.

    I didn't say you had to be Abrahamic to be genocidal. Which scriptures are we talking about here? Bible? Qur'an? Torah? I can cite you examples from each one of scriptures giving praises for individuals who destroy other societies just because they didn't believe.

    Spoiler: You're both right. (in that you both can collect evidence and scripture that support your perspective. Saying that there's no whiff of genocide or intolerance in the Bible only means you haven't read it.)

    Justification for slavery and war for you, support for tolerance and enlightened attitudes toward the poor for you. Everyone's happy. Of course you don't have to be a member of one of the Abrahamic religions to consider your ingroup intrinsically superior to another, the chosen people, it was pretty damn important to humans thousands of years ago, and we haven't entirely grown out of it.

    You clearly stated that these religions promoted genocide within their scriptures; my point is that genocidal doctrine is contra to these scriptures and that is how individuals twist these things. You also used the word 'written' and that is perhaps part of the reason why you may have this misconception. I am not really going to go into more details simply because such a discussion on religion is out of the scope of a forum like MMO-champion.

    I am talking about all 3 scriptures here, in general. Just so you know, I don't want to spark up a full on argument on religion here. I would encourage you (and others) to do do more reading more on the matter of philosophy of different religions.

    I said that each one held up as a virtuous man someone who murdered and destroyed other peoples just because they didn't believe in the same god as them. I didn't say the overarching philosophy embraced genocide, nor do I think religion actually makes people genocidal.
