(33,543 posts)For an organization that legitimizes itself on something that happened 2000 years ago, I don't think I would call this old news.

(33,543 posts)so I thank the OP for posting.
Do you find this less worthy than other threads here?

(146,218 posts)Did you happen to catch the one about Turkey?
The story was interesting as far as what some people do because of religion, the OP's comments about the country were unfounded.

(146,218 posts)Surprised you didn't know about it. There were at least 5 threads on it, including one in the Religion/Theology group started by cleanhippie.

(146,218 posts)The hypocrisy is stunning and abominable.
I am, however, surprised that people were not aware of it, as it was posted here at the time. I also wonder about why someone might decide to post it now.
Sometimes it is not in one's best interest to support an action, even if that action appears to support your cause.

If you'll please inform us as to the statue of limitations on the truth, I'm sure everyone here will be glad to observe it.

(146,218 posts)And the thread about Turkey is just fine, too.

(10,437 posts)Jurors (expecting this like anything even slightly criticizing Christians to be breathlessly alerted) please read the whole thread before deciding. And the one referred to too. "Context" is a favorite apologetics tactic after all - so try to be a bit fair.
