Now, I ask you, which of these two stories deserves the greatest outrage?
From Atlas Shrugs:
Muslims in Pakistan Burn, Beat Evangelist Unconscious
"Nothing to see here, folks. Keep moving ......
More from the religion of peace.... RESPECT IT!
A Presbyterian minister was beaten, burned and left for dead by six Muslims in Pakistan on his way home from preaching at a nearby church. The police are refusing to investigate, because the Muslims involved are the sons of a powerful land owner. The police have allegedly been bribed, or perhaps they, too, are devout and pious Muslims.
Muslims in Pakistan Burn, Beat Evangelist Unconscious (hat tip Danielle B)
Police decline to name suspects in attempted murder.
SARGODHA, Pakistan, December 13 (CDN) — An evangelist is still recovering from burns after six young Muslim men beat him with clubs and belts and set him on fire last month in a village near this Punjab Province city, the Christian told Compass.
Area Christians said they found the Rev. Wilson Augustine, 26, of Village No. 44-SB, unconscious with burns on his head, hand and arm on Nov. 22 near the bus stop of Village No. 101-NB on the outskirts of Sargodha.
Christian elders Austin Masih and Nadeem Samuel of nearby villages said that Augustine, who was ordained in a small Presbyterian church in Village No. 44-SB, was distributing pamphlets and proclaiming Christ door-to-door the previous day among Christian families of villages Nos. 79-NB, 98-NB, 99-NB, 96-NB and 101-NB some 25 kilometers (15 miles) southeast of Sargodha.
Rustam Masih, a Christian from Village No. 99-NB, told Compass that Augustine was going door-to-door in Village 96-NB when the sons of a powerful local land owner saw one of the pamphlets. Augustine later identified the six as Muhammad Usman Ghani, Muhammad Taha Khan, Talha Mehmood, Nisar Warriach, Zareen Cheema and Jamshaid Ali Ansari.'

BTW, Diogenes, remember the severe flooding that took place a few months ago in Pakistan? That was God's judgment on the Islamic nation for its harsh treatment of His people. With Pakistan's track record, there will much more to come.

You know, I'm not even going to respond, personally, to your idiocy, MoreLies.
I'll let Rabbi Brad Hirschfield handle it, better than I could hope to do:
DOES GOD CAUSE NATURAL DISASTERS?
"... So what's the problem with Rabbi Ovadia, or any other religious leader who makes such proclamations about the relationship between global events and divine justice? It's not that they are necessarily wrong, though I believe with all my heart that they are. The problem with them is their arrogance and their insensitivity.
Unless these religious leaders believe themselves to be prophets with a direct connection to the mind of God, how can they possibly make assertions about the way in which God chooses to reward and punish? The arrogance of it all is astounding, and were others to make similar pronouncements, ones which did not accord with their view of things, they would be the first to say so. And then there is the insensitivity of it all.
How dare any person apply their personal theology or theodicy to the suffering of others? How can someone see the pain of another person and simply say to them that it will all make sense as long as you believe as I do? I think the answer lies in understanding, though not in excusing what such leaders, including Rabbi Ovadia, are doing...."

DiogenASS: That’s great, thumbsucker!
The less you respond diogenass, the less BS people have to ignore!
Yeah, you got it figgered out, AnonyMoron: why bother reading what some rabbi has to say about Biblical prophecy about God smiting sinning peoples with natural disasters? I mean, what would happen if you LEARNED something you didn't know or weren't told by the Religious Rightwingnut community?
Your whole world would crumble if'n you let in even a little learnin'.
What, no Christian Zionist response for the erudite rabbi, MoreLies? Surely your pair of Johns (McTernan and Hagee) must have made up a convoluted heretical statement that explains away your arrogance and insensitivity?
DiogenASS: Is arrogance and insensitivity a crime and why would someone reply to an arrogant and insensitive bigot like yourself?
Debra doesn't have to justify her comments to a leftwing atheist bigot like you, thumbsucker!
On any other Conservative or Christian news site or blog, you would have been banned long ago.
Of COURSE I would be banned, AnonyMoron. Religious Rightwingnuts thrive when there's nobody around to tell them how full of crap they are. Homogeneity of thought is exactly what rightwingnuts want!
If you want to convince me how wrong I am and how right you are, try using some logical arguments that contain a few facts every now and then. Quoting self-professed "prophets" on the3 end of days, and telling me how "most" people feel just doesn't cut it. They're the signs of a weak argument and an even weaker premise.
Arrogant? Yeah, I'm probably guilty of that on this blog... it's hard to remain humble when continually (un)challenged by cretins like you and JustaDumbass, AnonyMoron. I'm no Einstein; I just play one on MoreLies' blog.
And insensitive? That's about as stupid as JustaDumbass' "you're intolerant of intolerant people" argument from awhile back. MoreLies pukes out her "vengeful god" poison, so I posted a reply from a very well-educated and well-reasoned rabbi who puts the lie to her disease-ridden garbage... and that makes me "insensitive"? If that's all it takes, then yeah, I'm insensitive... and proud of it.
