Muslims promote Sharia law. Why do Christians not promote their law?

What specifically do you recognize as "Christian Law"?Christians never seem to agree on a lot of things when it comes to the bible... at least not on this site very often.So first lest establish what is Christian Law, then we can see if it's being used.- Oni

I'd say Christianity and Islam promote violence equally. There is plenty in the new testament that promotes violence, to the point where Jesus reminds everyone to follow ALL of his fathers laws - To include stoning gays and adulterers to death...and there's plenty more. How can you have complete secularism? What does that even mean?The only thing that should concern us being secular is things we all share. So it makes sense that we should ALL want secularism when it comes to politics and decisions about laws, etc.I mean, surely you're trying to avoid living under Sharia Law as much as I am? If you don't want a secular government, who's to say it's your religion that will be in charge? You wouldn't want to live under someone elses religious laws, so it's best we live under no one's religious laws IMO.But it makes no sense to call that atheism. Both the atheist and the faithful should want a secular government. Right?Not all of the religious people want a secular government though. I'm sure there are a few fundamentalist out there who want their religion to govern the land.- Oni

Then you have the wrong understanding of what "secular" means. You're describing some kind of science fiction political government.Secular just means religious ideologies don't govern political decisions and law making. Which is what you want when it comes to things like Sharia Law.So you can relax, atheist are the least of your worries. What if it was a Christian/Muslim/Buddist/Hindu who was a liberal, environmentalist, who wants to redistribute the wealth? Would that change your opinion just because they were religious? Or isn't that what we're trying to avoid? Do you make sense to yourself? Because I can't really take you serious when you say ridiculous shit like this. Right...but still secular. YOU seem to associate scientific knowledge with big government. I imagine there are others like you who also believe ridiculous things like that as well.- Oni

What a great moral government that enslaved and segregated certain individuals because of their skin color. Allowed for them to be brutally killed with little to no consequences. Same government didn't let certain religious groups hold political positions. Same government didn't allow women to vote, and pretty much treated minorities like second class citizens.Some morality...And that's the government you want to go back to? Over my dead body.- OniEdited by onifre, : No reason given.

It's because you use terms like atheist science class that leads us to believe that any attempt at a good debate will be worthless. When you make ignorant comments about gay marriage being a burden, I feel it's best to stay out of a debate with you.So maybe it's YOU that doesn't draw in people to debate with.- Oni
