The new testament says that homosexuals has already gotten their punishment, so no, it shouldn't be necessary to kil them.
Darn, I was looking forward to some good old fashioned different-people-slaughtering.

Yeah. Jews don't believe in an afterlife or in Satan, so this didn't really need to be said.

Do you realize they're just as likely to be right? That you have nothing to support that except your own faith? You can believe anything you want, but don't try and press these offensive and unfounded assumptions on to anybody else. I hope you understand how self-righteous you come off with statements like this.

Don't try and tell me what my life's true purpose is. You have no idea. The concept that I should work to serve a whimsical and vicious God that attacks his own creations is also ridiculous.

Good for you. That belief is totally unsupported by any scientific field in existence, so I'd appreciate it if you don't pretend it's a justified point of view to others.

Fallacy. Edit: No, it's not just a fallacy. It's sheer arrogance. "I cannot and will not accept that I am ever wrong." How fundamentalist of you.

By "individual persons" are you referring to the millions and millions of people who took part in or supported the Crusades? Or are you referring to the "individuals" who participated in the Spanish Inquisition?
Christianity as a collective has contributed nothing to society except unnecessary war and pointless suffering. To respect its integrity shows a profound ignorance.

That's a story. A fable. Maybe you believe it, but I certainly don't.
The only reason Christianity is the most common religion is that it offers its followers the easy way out. Pray and everything is A okay. Murder? You can be forgiven, because the son of God who is also God and is immortal but sacrificed himself died for your sins.

Sorry, I don't take my understanding of history and religion from movies.

No, he's not trying to aggressively convert people like your church does. ("Hey starving African kid. Want some medical care? First become a Christian!").
He's pointing out exactly why Christianity doesn't make sense. You can still choose to believe it, if you want.
