Ummm "20 per year" HOMICIDE-by-gun deaths
+ 5 "unintentional" gun deaths
+ 120 suicide-by gun deaths :shock:
= more like 145 "gun related deaths".
Oops! Meant of course gun related homicides. :oops:

We're actually at the OECD average. Sure, slightly higher than the US and Canada, but not significantly.

OMG!!!

You're living in a fantasy sumbitch! if you think Christians represent 93% of the world heck even religion in the western world is a dying concept. You just gotta get out of Abbotsford and travel a little more.

Well, yeah, that's wikipedia for you. :roll:

Some moron has replaced the official numbers with numbers from a suicide research report, which includes uncertain cases. The official figures for 2011 are 16.5 per 100,000 for men and 6.8 for women. Can't calculate the combined figure, since it should be weighted and I don't have time to look it up, but unweighted it would be 11.8. Will try to fix the wikipedia site when I have time.

Guess the 30th place in the list is for the 2008 WHO figures, but the trend is dropping in Sweden, so that figure was probably slightly higher.

Just have to point out though that most of the figures reported are incorrect. Suicides are heavily underreported, and especially in Catholic and Muslim countries. Do you really believe that there was not a single suicide in eg Jordan and Honduras? :eh:
Suicide carries a strong social stigma in catholic/muslim countries and therefor the official cause of death tends to be listed as accident, to spare their families. I mean, people who commit suicide aren't even allowed to be buried in hallowed ground according to church tradition.

I do believe most OECD countries give fairly accurate figures (although I'm a bit sceptical of the figures presented by Greece, Mexico and Italy) which is why I thought that comparisson was more relevant than including all the obvious bullshit figures from the highly religious third world. But whatever.

Christians would be 33%, all religious 84%.

But sure, I can buy your 100% being hypocritical statement.

Still others might say its in our nature and we cannot rise above out violent ways without direct help from Christ.

For that you kinda have to believe there is a God or at least one of your understanding, but considering God created the universe he might choose to save your ass, who knows?

The point is the best anyone can do is try to live the life Jesus set as an example...

So peace to everyone, but that doesn't make me stupid so if you are gonna roll the blitzkrieg, well fuck you...

If it was easy you would just be called a son of a bitch...
So, in other words...Jesus died on the cross for nothing. These are the facts, the Christians of today simply do not practice what Jesus was preaching. If Jesus the extreme socialist came back today, I don't think the Arab Jew would be very happy with his so-called apparent followers who are nothing more than a violent, racist, greedy bunch of pornographic, snuff-film sado-masochists.

I disagree. The early Christians went the full nine yards, practiced non-violence, no earthly possessions, the whole shebang. It was only after Paul hi-jacked this tiny Jewish sect, turned everything on its head and made it the most successful McReligion of all time that people got the notion that they could call themselves Christians while ignoring everything Jesus said, and once it became the official religion of the Roman empire, it got even worse.

Jesus always sided with the outsiders, the little guy. The church has pretty much always sided with the powerful.
Jesus was vehemently opposed to violence, the church has started a zillion wars in his name.

Yet there are those that have tried to stay true to his teachings even in relatively modern times, like eg the Quakers and to some extent the Jesuites. The liberation theology of Latin America (which started with the Jesuites) also comes pretty close to what Jesus taught. But the mainstream church basically goes against what Jesus taught.

So because it's impractical to achieve all of it you might as well not bother trying any of it?

Sounds suspiciously like your professed stance on gun control. :sly:

LMFAO...uk, stop it your killing me man. 'You need his help to live it'? What the fuck is that??? One of America's most valued rights - Freedom of Choice. Freedom of Speech. Nobody is stopping the Christian of today from staying true to Jesus words, the reason he died on the cross for the likes of you. I mean, isn't that why you are a Christian, shit do you even know why you are a Christian? What is so hard about 'turning the other cheek to violence'? Being against organized religion, being an extreme socialist, helping the need, against greed, against war blah, blah, blah. Doesn't sound so hard to me. There is no draft, Christian gun toting soldiers can bow out any time they like. Nobody is holding a gun against your head, UK to stop you from being true to Jesus words. He was a world peace loving man, meek shall inherit the earth. You idiots have completely butchered his ways into something else that has been pretty much the reason why there has been nothing but pure violence since they day he's died until now.

If Doc is right, 93% of the world is Christian??? Then there should be no need for violence if actually every Christian followed what Jesus was really about.

Do you think that Jesus would apply for a gun liscence and buy a human killing weapon like what Lanza had if he came back today? Would you see Jesus at NRA rallies? Would Jesus be a Republican, LMAO. Fuck, he'd practically be a communist. You guys just don't get it, which is why you all are the laughing stock of all religions. Hell, the Tibetan Monks are more true to Jesus words the McChristians of today and they ain't even Christians.

yes you are right and in that respect its quite simple, all one really has to do is give away all his or her worldly possessions and spend the rest of their lives helping the poor and homeless and sick. It would probably be a great and wonderful life, but you know as well as I that giving your possessions away would mean that some rich guy would probably end up with it all. Your kids would lose out on their father and their inheritance. and your family would likely be calling in the psychiatrists.

You cant be in the world and of the world and live like Jesus or follow his example to the letter. life is about compromise, faced with opposing alternatives (feeding your child, feeding a poor child) you make choices, you pray to your God (Jesus if thats who it is for you) that you made the right choice and you move on. In this violent shit hole called civilization what else can anyone do?

lol not exactly what i said, I said you do the best you can, and then you hope that God helps you out with the rest.

Just like you defend your family with what God gave you, (brains and courage) and then call on Winchester for the rest.

Well, if you can't do that, make a gods honest effort, then stop calling yourself a good Christian, you half-ass, cherry picking believer , or whatever suits your fancy. You just don't pick n choose what Jesus is about, "I like that, I can do that, don't like that won't do that...so on" You are either all in or all out, otherwise, ya truly ain't a Christian. Just some American Tele-Evangelist/George Bush butchered version of it. A McChristian with a Buschman Semi Automatic against Healthcare reform.
