The new American Genocide

[whatifidontwantausername?]

I am doing a research report on genocide for my Human Behavior course and have found a rather interesting federal law that I feel we should all read, then I will explain why I made this thread.

I was thinking that this law could be interpreted liberaly to say that Christians cannot try to actively convert people to their religion because by doing so they are trying to wipe out other religous groups. I know that such a law cannot be read as such in the United States of Christ but it makes for an interesting rant.

 

Christians are willingly commiting genocide and also encouraging genocide in the United States. The beleive many groups of people to be less than human (gays, non-christians, other christian sects) and that such people should be erradicated. Convert or kill, as I always say. I see this everyday in the news, everytime I flip past a bible network, even when I walk down the street or at home where people continously preach for me to be saved.

 

Many of us have felt left out of family gatherings or dehumanized by those we care about most for our religous choices. Do I beleive that Christians as a whole are capable of a religous war against the secular society? Look around you and you will see more people turning to fundamentalist christianity, condemnation of homosexuality and other religions. You begin to see a certain polarization, worse than ever before. More people associate themselves only with people of their own christian sect while only allowing those outside of the sect to be targets for brainwashing.

 

So now to my question of the day: Do you beleive that a Christian nation is capable of genocide? I do.

does Bush classify? after all he's destorying the Iraqi people by spliting them into 3 factions.

 

Ummm, no. The Iraqi people have traditionally been split among three main factions. The current war (illegal for other reasons) has not actually changed the demographics of the country.

[whatifidontwantausername?]

I suppose we could see he as trying to make Iraqi's slaves, but I doubt he is actualy trying to destry them.

 

Perhaps Muslims in general, but not Iraqi's specificaly... so yes he would be genocidal.

Yes. Christian nations are notorious for there genocidal acts, even. Look at the Crusades, or even more evidently, at the treatment of the native americans by the spanish conquistadores.
