Religion is just a cult in the fact that it makes people feel better about themselves and gives them something to look forward to when they die. If they didn't have religion and the belief there was some great city in the sky to look forward to then they would probably fall apart. Religion is the worst thing man has ever invented.
Religion was like Europe's chief export for about 1000 years.
The rest what? Are you talking about the rest of white Americans or are you asking about blacks,latino's,asians etc?I am here because ohh 500 years ago my mothers side of the family came here.
500 years ago?
Do tell more... They were here in let's see 2012-500=1512.
Okay, i can't argue with that clip. That protest does seem to be off a more violent and anti-social variety. That however doesn't change the first video that you showed .
Anyway, good find on the last video.
He sure doesn't. Christianity and Judaism are the oldest religions. They have evolved into the modern world. If you look at countries that are dominated by Islam they do the exact same things Europe did 500 years ago.
According to your rationale, Fred Phelps, a Christian extremist, drives the Christian bus.
Because Christianity and Judaism and Islam are simply the three faces of Abraham. Each of them is based on Abraham's teachings. Abraham is the father of all three. Which is why so much of the Q'oran is based on the Old Testament.
Islam is only a few hundred years later than Christianity. And Christianity isn't dissimilar from Islam.
I don't detest any religion. I don't detest Islam. I detest followers of radical Islam who reject the laws and values of the countries they live in.
If you don't detest any religion, why do you repeatedly point one out? And do you also work under the assumption that "radical" is a word that can only be applied with Islam?

And that doesn't explain your claim of Christianity being oldest of religions.
Exactly my point. Islam is Christianity a few hundred years ago.
Hence, Islam countries are culturally in the middle ages.
Thanks for proving my point.
I believe that Islam countries have airports, and communication networks and television and movies. Technology and communication are the biggest drivers of culture. If these countries have modern technology and communications, they are clearly not "culturally in the middle ages."
