pennypyrosomeone posted a link on fb about violence in CAR (Central African Republic) w/ this comment:
What Myra says below is SO true: "The anti-Balaka are NOT Christian. They are non-Muslim. there is a huge difference. True Christians are Christ followers and conduct themselves as such: love, gentleness, mercy, etc."
I think the press is perpetuating the lie that non-Muslims equals Christians.
*sigh*
I considered commenting something like "Really??? you really don't think Christians are capable of being monstrous douchebags??? do you even know church history?" and talk about what an a--hole Martin Luther was. oh and the No True Scotsman fallacy.
but nooooo I don't wanna start crap. I'd probably come off as a disrespectful, anti-Christian young Turk...but I'm not.
*wants to tear hair out*
