  I'm pretty sure there are quite a few posters here breaking the rules they agreed to when they registered. WickyWoo, Jesus didn't command anyone to kill. Luke 19:26-27 is not Jesus giving a command, it is a character in a parable he was telling. The parable was about his return on the day of wrath. Again, it is not a command for us today. The character of Jesus doesn't endorse any of those things you said and you would have to seriously twist His words to even come close.

  Blondmike, this last summer I visited Auschwitz, Birkenau, and Schindler's factory in Oswiecim, Poland and Krakow, Poland. http://www.auschwitz-muzeum.oswiecim.pl/ There is no way to deny what happened without lying to yourself and to the world. The overwhelming piles of evidence totally cover up any attempt to disprove it, no matter how Gibson you are.

  WickyWoo, Jesus is not making a commandment there, any cursory glance at the text will show that. The only way to say he is making an order there is to forget all about basic reading comprehension. This is a character in a parable that makes the proclamation, not Jesus. What "other times" does Jesus do this directly? The "neighbor" Jesus showed in another parable was a Samaritan, not a Jew. The OT also speaks of caring for the alien, the foreigner, etc saying "for you were also an alien in Egypt." I obviously don't have time to go through centuries of …

  Wow, you know everything about me! Amazing! Yeah I totally hate everyone and I want to kill them! I didn't scream "out of context," in fact I pointed out exactly how it is out of context. I didn't run away, and I don't feel pity. I simply know you're an intelligent person who has heard everything I could ever say, so it's pointless to keep down this path. People pick on religion and say it's the bane of the world. Excuse me for not believing that because that doesn't explain the works of Mao Zedong, Pol Pot, imperialistic Japan, and every …

  I didn't take any guided tours. I walked the grounds with my wife and just took in the scale. There was a room filled with hair sheared from the heads of the prisoners (gypsies, Christians, Jews, and other "undesireables") and the stench was overpowering. Two rooms full of shoes, and this was a small portion of the total they collected from one of the ten warehouses filled with items. The evidence for this holocaust are overwhelming. There are few dissenters and they come from very select groups. You tell me to be critical in my thinking while you are quite clearly …
