Re: Muslims outpace Anglicans in the UK

Quote:
Now you firstly state that a person who uses violence in the name of Christianity is not a "True Christian", you then go on to name a *specific* act committed by Muslims *without* suggesting or even *hinting* that just because they "used violence in the name of Islam" they weren't "True Muslims".
Graham you really are jumping to conclusions which simply don't exist. Those who the caused 9/11, I don't know WHAT faith they professed to be but whatever it was, I don't know enough to make a comment on it. I might question it, which is the way I learn about such things, but when it comes to a subject as deep and wide-spread as a religion, I won't comment until I have competant knowledge of it. I just wish certain people would do the same on here.

This is precisely why I called it Special Pleading because your implication is "in this case (ie Christianity) it's different", when there is in reality no such difference.
Yes - to me there IS a difference. I know a lot more about Christianity than I do about the Muslim faith.

But I'm sure that *they* consider themselves to be "True Christians"!
*They* probably do but if they could show me anything in the NT which promotes their views and ideas I'll admit I'm wrong.

Quote:
If someone uses the fallacy of Special Pleading to claim that "it's different in this case", I'm going to call them on it. If he didn't think it, he wouldn't have said it.
I'm 99% sure you're the only person who thinks I said that.

I think you mean "Should not"!!
Nope, Xac was right first time.

You aren't being serious are you Russ?????
Too right I was serious. What's wrong with someone preaching what we believe to be the Good News? If you don't want to hear it, walk away.
