Interesting video. So they chant "Allah akbahd" when they feel they've accomplished something?



Who missed the point? The people on the other forum? What'd they rant about?



I am very surprised by his compassion despite their hatred. My faith teaches such things, which is a complete opposite of theirs,...and as much as I feel I would/could do the same, I'd probably be my short-fused italian self at that moment and go ballistic...

If someone shot at me like that, I would have called in an air strike, then kicked back and smoked some cigarettes.

Umm no?



I don't know EVERYTHING about them, which is why its interesting and I asked about their comment after firing.



It's disputable, their faith/belief's, only in the same regard that the Bible can be interpreted one of several ways. The issue is a case of what they believe, and how they believe, people become/are the enemy.



The main difference is what my God and Allah teach as to what you should do when you find someone who isn't of your faith. Among the numerous other things...

That is why human interpretation of "God" is fatally flawed. The audacity of mere mortals to actually create a sub-version of what can only be one true God. All the different religions creating a seperate vision of "God" to suit thier own petty beliefs practices and interpreted truths.



If an individual simply believes and has faith in that belief, that alone should solidify the religion aspect of anyone's life, picking a specifc religion and following those religion's practices alone should condem that person to eternal damnation, this talk of my god, your god, his god is utter nonsense, I mean really, who do we think we are?

Your point is understood, and I can't say the idea hasn't passed through my mind.



But I feel, rather, I've come to know that the idea of "creating" a "sub-version" of the only true God is beyond that understanding in and of itself.



A large part of it deals with the Absolute Truth issue, as well.



The idea of religion is somewhat separated from the Truth God intended. Sure, he wanted the "Church", but the Church is made up of His people, not a physical building or a set of enforced traditions.



I'll leave it at that, but if you do enough research you'll find the parrallels, differences, and sort of see the "Map-out" of how such a "variety" of religions came about.



The truth......is out there....*dun dun dun

To make light of a few things, who on this rock we call Earth really knows the Absolute Truth? and where can we find it, them, him, her, etc.?



I have heard the bedtime stories that we will all know when we leave this place, and that the questions that we have will simply fall away, somehow becoming un-imminent and rather foolish in retrospect, simultaneously answering the age old question of WHY...but that to seems sugar coated and, to say the least, far fetched.



Sometimes I even entertain the idea that death IS the answer, not prematurely of course, but why else would it be saved for last?

Mark... sending you a PM... non-religious

Nah, the video isnt bullshit. True story. Everyone is flawed because a massive "he's a hero" give him a medal theory is developing. Notice the bulky **** on his arms? Thats a light kevlar attachment for the IBA, only issued to vehicle gunners. This signifies him as the vehicles gunner. Also note the lack of a gunner on the humvee. If he would have been in the humvee, on the gun, pulling some decent security like he should have been that might not have happened. If it still did, he could be spewing 1000rounds a minute in retaliation.



Gotta love privates.....

some people just dont know how to follow orders.................

I'm glad he wasn't killed if that video was real. Those guys had enough time to take a clean domeshot and why the **** were they just sitting there talking after they fired? I think that guy learned his lesson, do your job out there. Or it's your ass.

I'm not using an opportunity to start arguments. And I'm not trying to establish I am a christian, everyone already knows that.



I'm merely speaking my opinion on the video, which is what Sweet7 was asking. Just because it may differ from yours, or what I speak somehow pisses you off, doesn't mean I shouldn't say anything. I have to sift through all the BS posted here, you can handle the 2-3 posts I make of my BS, okay?



And never, has any arguements here resulted in banning, name-calling, or the like, at least from my encouragement. I'm sorry it upsets your usual Beer/Sex posts...you can simply ignore it/me.

How did my quoted statement show me "getting worked up"? I wasn't, and almost never am, at all, here.

1. I never said my faith was "Better". Very poor wording, perhaps even on my part, but that should not have been how it read.

Okay, first of all, your point becomes a lot less effective when you resort to childish namecalling and immature remarks; cut the bullshit.



Second, since when can sinful men clearly depict a perfect God? We simply can't. We are called to be different, try harder, strive for perfection, in faith and by grace because we simply can't do it alone.



Brain washed? Hardly. You have but a very small fraction (especially if you just go by what I've said in this thread) of my history, my research, my upbringing, what I've been through, how I've analyzed all possibilities, my experiences, and the reaction/results of such things.



You can calm down now.
