No you are trying to backpeddle. I never said that they were the same as other religous laws. Just refuting your assumption that Christians don't try to impose their beliefs on the rest of us.

If you look them up, they're retained as a matter of tradition and convenience. They're the reason we have days off on sundays. They're also related to the laws that give us days off on Thanksgiving, and Christmas as well. What, praytell, are you complaining about? Even though Thanksgiving isn't entirely religious, Christmas would be a working day. I've come to the realization that you must be looking for something to complain about because no one would complain about laws that give us a two-day weekend.

Oh those "Formerly religous laws" are now just retained "as a matter of tradition". Its not a religous thing anymore. Like christians don't commit terrorist acts. Only Catholics, and everybody knows they arn't "real" christians.
What Bullcrap. If I wasn't afraid I'd get banned, I'd tell you how I really feel.

Well, the law found him guilty. I'm all for the death penalty, so I'm glad he was executed. He's a murderer. He's the type of person that gives the rest of us a bad name. But compare this to a case of an American citizen who fought for the Taliban, commiting treason in the process, is only given 20 years. And now they want to overturn that! It's not a level playing field. I hope your happy. Christianity is slowly losing influence, and the country is going to hell.

Who is this Taliban fighter?

Yes it is. As a matter of fact, it is a sort of spinoff from the "Army of Mary" group that was excommunicated by the Catholic Church. Which, by the way, is more the the Muslim "majority" has done about the acts of Jihad.

How about a reference on that.
None of the AoG people(except 1) and none of the spokepersons are Catholic. And they have nothing to do with the Army of Mary. They don't mention any Catholic references on their website.
And the website is ran by a Pentecostal minister. The Rev Donald Spitz.
Damn those Catholics sure are sneaky (sarcasm), having non-catholics run their christian terrorist operation, and recruiting non catholics to do the dirty work. Brilliant idea if there are no catholics in the AoG, they can get away scott free. No one would ever pin those crimes on a religion that wasn't there, well except you.

New to me. Please cite your source so I can give an informed response.

Google it. Or ask some of our Indian posters. Might also look some of these Christian groups up also.
Uganda Democratic Christian Army
Lord's Resistance Army

They always condemned them. Even the most Bible-thumping, rebellious Baptist churches I've been have condemned them. I don't look at Pat Robertson, or Jerry Falwel (certainly not anymore) as leaders. I believe in the local church. Therefore, pastors are leaders; not televangelists. None of them have proven themselves fountains of wisdom (in contrast to Charles Wesley, or DL Moody for example) to make them leaders, anyway.

I've seen some backhanded condemnations from a few pastors but please cite a few references of Christians condemning bombers and killers.
You ask that all Imans condemn the acts of a few Jihadist. Show me where there was an overwelming outpouring of condemnation from Christian leaders when christians commit acts of terrorism.
