Your thoughts on assault on Hindu temples in Birmingham...

@hartfire
Violence emanates from within those who are estranged from the love of God.

@marke
Check the stats on violence - you'll find it makes no difference whether someone believes in God or not. Believers of all kinds commit crimes just as often as non-believers.

@hartfire

Rebels against God commit far more acts of violence than do Christians who fear God, in spite of what corrupted leftists like Merrick Garland stupidly claim to the contrary.

@marke Nonsense.
Most people of faith will declare that they are sinners, or not good muslims, or that the standards of faith are a tough ask to live up to. Many will sin knowing they will later do penance and ask for forgiveness, over and over again throughout their lives. There are very few believers who genuinely walk their talk and are not hypocrites. The grooming and rape of minors by religious teachers and pastors, the protection of pedarists by religious authorities, the accumulation of capital and wealth at the expense of the poor, the tax free status of religion in the USA - all these point to centuries of corruption.

@hartfire
There is a godly principle outlined and supported in the Bible and that is the accumulation of wealth by honest hard work, and not by lazily and selfishly sucking up the resources others created by their hard work.

@marke There are also godly principles of paying Caesar what is Caesar's, and of giving charity even if it is one's last and only shekel, and of God caring for the lilies and birds of the field.
If you look closely enough through the Bible you can use it to justify anything that suits you.
God condoned Noah for starting slavery, and Abraham for mutilating his sons' penises and initiating the practice for all Jews and future Muslims. War and murder is justified in the name of "faith". The Inquisition was justified in the name of Christ.

@hartfire

God justifies righteousness and condemns wickedness.
