Flogging adulterers and adulteresses one hundred times

What kind of legal actions would you be refering to? What I was drawing attention to was not the definiton of how a sin was deemed to have taken place but only the response to that sin once determined

Then what, what? All I did was point out that you had overlooked that the remedy is the same for the woman as the man.

No that’s more the job of hospitals and mattress makers. Religions are suppose to do what their Gd tells them to do no matter how harsh it may seem.

And when your religion does not recognize that Jesus has the authority to say this, he is only one man talking, and a blasphemer. If Gd has told you to “beat the ever-loving stuff” out of sinners, you do so, because Gd is Gd and His ways are not your ways.

And after 1000 years did Christians display any level more of kindness from Jerusulam to Srebinica?
Islam has its more liberal elements and more fundamental regimes just like every other religion. And again, when did “kind” become a benchmark for obedience?

Perhaps I am too close to the situation. I see calling Jesus and those closest to him a lying peice of trash to be insulting to me and to them.
eldestofvic says:

Listen, I’m not saying that Islam is right. If I felt that way then obviously I should become a Muslim. I think what I’m responding to mostly in these threads is the level of rhetoric that seems more in keeping with the kind of stuff/attitudes etc. that I’ve had to face defending Catholic teachings to Protestants.
