Priests brawl at Jesus’ birthplace
This certainly amuses me to no end. It just goes to show that there is nothing of value in their Weltanshauung worth talking about.
Greek Orthodox and Armenian priests attacked each other with brooms and stones inside the Church of the Nativity as long-standing rivalries erupted in violence during holiday cleaning on Thursday.
The basilica, built over the grotto in Bethlehem where Christians believe Jesus was born, is administered jointly by Roman Catholic, Greek Orthodox and Armenian Apostolic authorities.
Any perceived encroachment on one group’s turf can touch off vicious feuds.
On Thursday, dozens of priests and cleaners were scrubbing the church ahead of the Armenian and Orthodox Christmas, celebrated in early January. Thousands of tourists visited the church this week for Christmas celebrations.
But the clean-up turned ugly after some of the Orthodox faithful stepped inside the Armenian church’s section, touching off a scuffle between about 50 Greek Orthodox and 30 Armenians.
Both of these groups worship the same, half-naked criminal crucified at the cross by Roman soldiers and all they care about is bickering about their turf.
“Religion of love”, my arse.

I dont understand why…please email me back.
[MENJ: I did not. I called whatever half-naked man that they worship a criminal. That man was certainly not Jesus (P)]

I’ve gotten curious again. If the actions of a few individuals, as above has led you to snicker at the very thought of Christianity being the Religion of Love, please explain to me how is it different for someone else to label Islam (based on the action of few extremists) as, perhaps to say;
“Religion of Peace”, My arse?
Cheers

MY RESPONSE,
SO YOU ARE COMPARING THE ACTS OF CHRISTIAN PRIEST TO MUSLIMS WHO ARE TERRORIST (WHO MAY NOT EVEN BE TRUE MUSLIMS). DON’T FORGET ABOUT THE IRA WHO HAPPENS TO BE THE FOLLOWERS OF THE RELIGION OF LOVE AND THEY TO HAVE CARRY ACTS OF TERROR SUCH AS BOMBINGS AND KILLINGS OF CIVILIANS TOO IN THE NAME OF THE RELIGION OF LOVE.
THE RELIGION OF LOVE WHOSE CATHOLIC POPE AT ONE TIME ORDER THE MASSACRE OF INFIDELS INCLUDING INNOCENT WOMEN AND CHILDREN IN 1099 WHICH CONSIDER BY SOME FOLLOWERS OF THE RELIGION OF LOVE (EVEN IN THE MODERN WORLD) AS ACT Of SELF DEFENCE AND SALVATION TO GOD.
A RELIGION OF LOVE MY ANUS.

MY RESPONSE,
WHY DON’T YOU TELL US EMMANUEL? SINCE YOU ONLY GIVE 2 CHOICES OF AN ANSWER SO CHOOSE.
BUT BEFORE THAT, WHAT IS YOUR OPINION ON BRAWLING IN THE CHURCH OF NATIVITY BETWEEN PRIEST? GOOD OR BAD.

Meanwhile as we speak, Shiites and Sunnis are slaying each other because Shiite and Sunni ulamas are calling for the death of the other…
