IT is not like you to dodge questions, L8. You know he was looking for a degree of "worseness" between the two AS OF TODAY, NOT in the past. I do understand the very PC reasons you and phet particularly might wat to duck the question.

Do you mean to have me say that it's worse to throw a gay man off a building rather than just to just disown your gay son? I don't know what of that is religion and what of that is the political environment. The Christain group I grew up in believes in killing apostates but doesn't do it because it's illegal.

The question is not about your personal experience.
Today in 2020: Which religion is worse? Christianity or Islam? They are obviously not identical. Wy are you having difficulty with this question? Is your moral obligation to avoid answering this simple question?

The extremist expression of Islam is far worse. I don't actually know anything about Islam. Saying women bring on rape by their choice of dress is the same to me as the way Islam puts the criminal actions of men on women. It's a matter of degrees but the principle sucks be it coming from Christianity or Islam.

Today in 2020 some sects of Islam are much worse than Christianity. In fact in some parts of the world Islam is going through the same level of ignorance Christianity had during medieval times. Women and members of the LGBTQIA+ fare much better in Western nations.

Note that I talk about Islam as a group. At the individual level there are plenty of ouststanding people.

The reason that you wanted to avoid the question is that you are a devotee of a secular religion that forbids the critique of Islam. I suspect Phetaroi is a devotee too.

Religion is flawed whether secular or based on a deity.
