I met some Ishmaili Muslims once who were very pleasant - but then too are mystical Christians. The exceptions don't really make the rule. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I somehow feel there might be other factors at play. It’s quite straight forward if you look at statistics of migrant unemployment and crime. Previously Christian countries have become more and more unsafe. Mainly due to migrant gangs , almost totally actually. (Culturally the West is Christian that’s where we get our basic values and human rights, a lot of people fail to notice this simple truth) The U.K. is like this. Sweden too is like this, so sad so many no go zones there are some places Police won’t even go, and the same is happening in America. (They would rather spit on a Bible in court than swear on it, if they can even speak English…) Tough criminals come from wore torn countries with different values. Not Christian. Last year Poland paid 1 million euro fine per day, because they refused to take the Migrant Quota from the EU. Germany recently admitted it cannot handle the migrants and they have destroyed the safety of their country, they have been recently trying to send them here to Poland… Poland currently has the lowest crime rate in Europe. I understand Croatia is quite similar in that regard… Check yourself before you wreck yourself. That’s the best border policy too… Edited 3 hours ago by Thrice Daily Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I asked a question in my last post and wonder if you have an opinion. I’m most interested in what females have to say… And I agree, 1000 x 0 is zero What do you think we Westerners, should do about birth rates? Please Google first if you are not sure what’s going on with replacement rates country to country. Check South Korea first. You’ll understand what I’m getting at then… and yes it’s extremely relevant to Christianity… or lack there of… Edited 3 hours ago by Thrice Daily Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
