Bangladesh blogger Ananta Bijoy Das hacked to death

I didn't say that they don't kill, or that bible doesn't advocate it. I asked if it does.

I'm regarding the old testament differently, because I see it as a collection of crazy old stories. I don't believe it's possible to follow the word of the old testament these days without being insane. Or without getting locked up as soon as you start trying to stone prostitutes.

Anyway, my point was - does the text itself (in nt) tell you to fight anyone of different faith. The fragments you quoted say Jesus was going to do that. He didn't tell others to follow the same.

I'm not interested in this kind of dishonest contortion of facts.

GP claimed that Islam was a bad religion and pointed to a small number of Islamic extremists to prove their point.

That point is trivially countered by showing the genocides perpetrated by Christians against people from other religions -- and there is at least one genocide perpetrated by Christians that is still ongoing.

You're "only asking questions"[1] but you're ignoring inconvenient answers and refining questions in weird ways.

For example: You don't get to define which bits of the bible are relevant. The christians using the bible as a justification for murder do.

[1] "I'm only asking questions" is a troll technique. You probably want to stop that.
