Slashdot, and other tech site editors generally avoid getting into religous frays on their own sites.
Injecting a little religion is always good for goosing the hit count and ad views. But the editors and writers themselves generally avoid getting into the middle of what results from the stories used to bait the readers.
Joe Barr quoting from the Bible, to put down those of Christian faith, from a few passages of the Bible.
Truly a disappointing day on Newsforge.
ps:
Hmmmmmm. We Christians are instructed not just to kill foreign infidels, but our wives, children, siblings and so on. How superior we are!
Are you saying that this is forced upon US school children today?
Which schools in the US are teaching Christian school children to kill infidels today? Last year? Ten years ago? Twenty years ago? Fifty years ago?
That's the whole point of the top post, isn't it? Quoting from Christian Crusades or the Middle Ages is a bit disingenuous isn't it? What you quote may exist in the Bible, but it isn't what we teach our school children today is it? We don't even teach them that in religious studies. Unless you are sending your kids to some school we don't know about...
