    But God forbid we use our free speech to say anything about the sanctity of marriage!

    We're bombing Isis, do you believe we should land troops? Give them visas to come to the USA? According to the article that you posted Isis is targeting many minorities in Iraq,
    Are you only concerned for the Christians?

    I'm concerned about anyone who is losing their lives to terrorists, and even more concerned at the amount of Americans who side with said terrorists and our tyrant of a president. But no, nothing will be done as usual.

    How many Americans do you think actually side with Isis?

    And again, what would you like to see done?

    I see plenty of people siding with Hamas to free 'Palestine' and supporting the radical Muslims whose religion teaches them that Christians and Jews should be killed and are the lowest of all lifeforms (Sura 98:6 and many others). And as for what to do, I don't know, but I think we can both agree that something should be done.

    I'm not sure if I agree that anything should be done. We invaded Iraq because we were told they were a nuclear or chemical threat to us. There is a disagreement as to how valid that was but that is the reason we went in there. Then we wasted billions of dollars trying to turn them into a democracy. Why? Did they want to be a democracy? Fuck if I know. IMO, democracy should be earned and can't be given but that is besides the point. All I know is that there are between 15,000-20,000 Isis troops kicking the shit out of a country with a population of 32.5 million. Seems to be like the Iraqis don't give two shits who rules them and I'm having a hard time caring about this. If the Iraqis aren't going to fight for themselves why should we?

    I have no problem dropping some bombs. It gives us good practice on real targets but anything else is a mistake.

    Christians are more important than dirty non-Christian heathens, bro.

    I don't think people should be murdered, regardless of their creed or religious beliefs, or lack thereof.

    Then we should all agree this is a tragedy right? No need to use a remark that Christians only care about Christians. Last time I checked, Christians try and help those that are lost because they care about their eternity.

    Regardless of what you believe, I think that's pretty cool that strangers care enough to help others don't you?

    I like it when Christians want to help others, they should focus on that instead of denying other people's rights, but that is a different topic.

    Yes that is a different topic. Would it be better we talk about gay rights or why Oden should be put in prison for slapping a woman?

    What do you think Oden's punishment should be? Sounds like he did more than just slap her.

    The original post in this thread did single out Christians. Discussing that was keeping on topic.

    Let me ask you what you think we should do? Should we go into Iraq to save only these Christians? To save all of the minorities that are being attacked? Should we grant only the Christians visas to come to this country? Give all of the minorities visas?
