Wait a minute... how can he go to heaven? I grew up in the Pentecostal church. I was told Catholics weren't real Christians.

As a choir sang, Pope Benedict XVI poured holy water over Magdi Allam's head and said a brief prayer in Latin.

Yeah, but the version of heaven he's going to now doesn't have the 72 virgins.

Just checking, is Islam the only major religion that condemns those who leave it's religion to death? As far as I am aware of, it is. I could be wrong.

Italy's most prominent Muslim commentator, a journalist with iconoclastic views such as support for Israel

Sounds like it wasn't much of a loss for the Muslim team anyway.

Deuteronomy 13:6-8
'If your brother, or your son or daughter, or your beloved wife tries to secretly entice you, telling you to go and worship other gods, gods of people living near you, or far from you, or anywhere on earth, do not listen to him.' Deuteronomy 13:8-9
'You must kill them. Show them no pity. And your hand must strike the first blow.'

I think that technically christian parents are supposed to kill their children if they stray from the religion.

That is the written law not the oral one. The jews I believe follow the oral law.

Christians seem to like the written law, what with the hating on gays and all.

You don't hear about it because they've picked and decided which laws to follow and which ones to throw out.

Much of the OLD TESTAMENT was FULFILLED by Jesus' death and resurrection guys - the "laws" may not be required now. Please try and educate yourselves before you lambaste Christians for not following what you think we're supposed to follow.

You're not kidding, and it is you. As someone who was raised Catholic, I can tell you that you are considered 'other-denominational'. That is code for someone who is going to hell.

Why did it change the food rules, but not the ones about men lying with men as with women?

Captain Darling 2008-03-23 01:11:15 AM  
Point of order, submitter: the convert has been threatened by Hamas for his support of Israel, not for his conversion. I'm sure Hamas, as a Sunni organization tied to the Muslim Brotherhood, is in favor of executing apostates in principle. It's not clear that they have threatened this man on that basis.

TFA: Egypt's highest Islamic cleric, the Grand Mufti Ali Gomaa, wrote last year against the killing of apostates, saying there is no worldly retribution for Muslims who abandon their religion and that punishment would come in the afterlife

Well, he claims he was misquoted on that. He denies saying that Muslims should be free to leave Islam, but he doesn't think they should be killed (source). This is in fact the practice in Egypt and elsewhere, harassment of apostates is common but killings are rare.

This is grain, which any fool can eat, but for which the Lord intended a more divine means of consumption. Let us give praise to our maker and glory to his bounty by learning about... BEER.

Anyways, funny aside, he's big enough to make his own decisions. That's why catholics have the Confirmation, it's the renovation to the faith in the Catholic Church.
