What Next? Satanism???

Children should be taught about beheadings, stoning, intolerance of infidels, killing of gays, slavery, subjugation of women, etc.

Yeah, no. It doesn't. Please trying reading it sometime.

The difference is that Christians have evolved over time and no longer tend to live in the seventh century. Not all Muslims still reside there but you have to admit that the behaviors mentioned by Runaway have occurred recently in time and are frequently ongoing behaviors by more than a few Muslims. That is the truth, Octavia.

The Bible is printed and cannot be changed (unless it is burned as leftists do when they disagree with things) and neither can the Koran. We are talking about current-day followers so you are agreeing with me? Get out the champagne...

No the bible doesn't condone beheading, intolerance of infidels, slavery, subjugation of women. go back and re-read exodus.
They didn't behead in those days (except for a few specific instances of extremely evil people), they stoned people as a form of death penalty for things that put the entire community at risk (STDs [sex outside of marriage, homosexuality], diseases from handling dead things [sorcery, witchcraft], etc...etc...). Anyone could become a citizen by following the laws. Slavery back then was for 10 years, the 'slave' could also save up money and buy their freedom, and were treated like live in servants (nothing like slavery in the US before the civil war).
Women could do whatever they wanted until they decided to get married and have children. At that point their responsibility was to take care of them. We've seen what happens when women don't do that. Just take a look around.

"Intolerance of infidels: Deut 13:6-16, among others"

Yes, the entire country signed a contract to only worship God. Part of that contract is not worshiping other Gods. Notice it doesn't say kill random people that worship other Gods. Its specifically talking about the Israelite people. Also note that the 'surrounding' Gods rituals included child rape and spreading of deadly diseases.

"Slavery: Exodus 21, Lev 25:44-46, Deut 15:12-17, 1 Peter 2:18"
Deut 15:12-17: If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing
Not slavery that's indentured servitude. There are a lot of stuff about freeing them from service and how they should be treated like normal people and not slaves.

Lev 25:44-46: Either his uncle, or his uncle's son, may redeem him, or any that is nigh of kin unto him of his family may redeem him; or if he be able, he may redeem himself
They can buy their freedom. Once again this is indentured servitude not slavery.

1 Peter 2:18: Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.

Try reading the (old) king James. In those days there were slaves and servants. This is clearly talking about servants.

"Sex outside marriage, homosexuality, sorcery and witchcraft don't put a community at risk. And even if they did, execution shouldn't be the punishment."
Back then they were deadly. No cures, no treatments. Go read up on common STDs today and what happens without treatment. They didn't even know to wash hands after handling dead things. Diseases ran rampant until they were given laws to 'purify' themselves by cleaning up after touching things.

"The Bible makes it clear that Hebrew slaves had to be set free every seven years, but non-Hebrew slaves only had to be set free every fifty years. Given the average life span back then, that was basically a lifetime of slavery for many people. Exodus 21 also says you can beat your slaves viciously as long as they don't die right away. Yes, it was very much like American slavery."

You missed a few things. They had to be treated like everyone else (and yes getting beaten was done to everyone not just slaves) Because a single mistake back then could mean the deaths of hundreds. They were treated much more humanely than civil war era slavery.

"Women back then were basically the property of their fathers until they got married, then they were the property of their husbands. Remember the commandment against coveting your neighbor's property? It includes his wife among his property."

Everyone was property of the leader of the family. Everything was a feudal state with the head of the family ruling over everything. In the roman times (new testament) things hadn't progressed much further, but women in Israel could hold positions of power and influence and were respected.

"So are you saying society is worse off now that women are free to pursue jobs outside the home and don't feel pressured to get married and raise children if they don't want to?"

I'm saying that women that don't treat their families as full time jobs churn out criminally ill families. The scientific studies on the subject back this up.

Of course, why would I not?

Either endorsing or denying them. Free speech, freedom of religion. Too bad the Dems don’t believe in any of that anymore

you know Octavia, I wish that Islam is taught in schools. I wish Sharia spreads like wild fire. Let it happen, it is what we need. Then I will love to see what your opinion will be, right then at that moment you are getting stoned.

Maybe "Goat Rapers of Dearborn Michigan" haven't maxxed out on his campaign?

I like how people who had never picked up a Quran can say things like comparing Islam to Satanism.
