Pastor to Die in Iran for being a Christian (1 Viewer)

[Sarcastic]

Not really, a few posts saying that. The rest are the typical EE responses, minus the dinosaur posts, haven't seen those yet all there is still plenty of time.

This is off-subject, but what if Terra Nova's next episode ended with a scientist busting into a lab somewhere saying he got all the measurements wrong, and the wormhole only went 6,000 years...then the last episode of the season, the splinter group is shown building a big wooden boat while the rain starts falling. Fade to black, to be continued

I would totally get high and watch that show.

I think they go the $cientology route.

The scientists discover Lord Xenu's crashed spaceship and make peace with the Thetan slaves only to look up and see Xenu's fleet of DC-8's dropping hydrogen bombs into volcanos.

...fade to black..

In the spirit of Blasphemy Day...

I renounce Jesus, Yahweh and the holy spirit. One was merely a mortal preacher, the other two do not and have never existed.




No smites yet? Must be because there's no one up there to do any smiting.

Heck, for good measure ( . )( .) (those are Mohammed's moobs.)

If telepathic aliens show up, Julian May should sue.

Then its good for both of us, Taurus, that we're not facing similar predicament this man' is, that is, if we were brave enough to practice our beliefs(political/religious) against hardline fundamentalists, or xenophobe Wahabbis. As is, we're just mindful observers. Any atheists/agnostics living in Iran wouldn't be exempt more then mullahs arresting anyone trying to convert Muslims to Buddhism, Zoroastrianism(banned in Iran too, BTW) Catholicism, or _____ religion, teaching evolution, empiricism/rationalism.

 

[antipop]

bravery and stupidity are not the same thing

 

[Saintman2884]

But is that atheist observer speaking, anti? This doesn't any of us and most Americans. This thread turned from man facing possibly execution for his religious beliefs to criticizing, deriding him that not renouncing means he's abandoning his wife, kids. As if we could've handle differently, which hopefully, this country never unravels to point some would confront situations and make decisions with life, family, reputation on line. I can't say I face it differently, or break under pressure. This thread had lot of informative, objective posts but it ends there, because we can't forget what this really about, possible human rights violation in a nation that's executed gays, lesbians, outspoken critics, petty criminals, harassed, jailed, fined professors, scientists questioned clerical authority over religious, scientific claims.

This case is just one of many in a country where dogmatic theocracy trumps reason, logic, and unfortunate for Iranians who suffered under brutal autocrat and Savak for 34 years,

I'll tell them any damn thing they want to hear. While plotting the emigration of myself and my family.

It's a big world, vote with your feet.

Abrahamic faiths trying to kill each other and anyone else that gets in their way? Surely ye jest, these things never happen.

Not much respect for one's belief system on this board.

Respect is earned and can be lost. Very, very easily lost.

For an individual? Absolutely. For their belief system? That's a different story.

It was a collective term. All beliefs being represented here.

Some beliefs are silly and/or destructive. I don't think religious beliefs should get a pass.
