I also think it's unfair to associate chickens with eggs. LOL. Two separate things right? Just like Islam and Muslims.

You just can't make this kinda stuff up.

The bottom line is that you're not gonna shame people into hating a group just because you do.

I'm comfortable hating religion PERIOD...because it deserves my hatred.

But don't ask me to hate Islam specifically MORE than the other faiths just because you do.

Basically, Christians want everyone to hate Islam so that they'll take their focus off of Christianity's shenanigans and historical brutality.

Forget it.

I consider myself to be a Christian yet I've been there to criticize those who try and paint Muslims with a broad brush and to defend their rights the same as everyone's else.

Maybe you need to consider that you may be no different than the OP?

I'm probably more intolerant of religion than he/she is. And I've never been ashamed to admit it. Why should I be given my experiences with it?

I'm more concerned about the religion of 99% of the hypocrites I have to deal with here! What some Muslim is doing in Syria or Turkmenistan is none of my concern. And I don't see why I should make it so.

Yeah well, you are not simply because of religion. Are you saying Obama attacked Libya for religious reasons?

No. We shouldn't be attacking anyone over there for ANY reason other than a direct attack on us.

Obama was wrong.

Christianity is the biggest barrier to their objective because it's values and ethics (based primarily on procreation, morals, and love of God) is firmly entrenched in almost every sector of society and socio-economic group worldwide. In addition to being the most powerful and wealthiest, it still remains the largest religion on Earth. This is very well understood by the liberal genus. So the goal is to take it down by whatever means necessary. Including the tolerance, acceptance, and societal introduction of a religion that is the complete antithesis to their own values.
You're joking right? LOL I love the comedians on here.

Just in case you are serious, I'm gunna "destruct" the nuclear family unit so that my demon saviour Jeebus can rise again from the depths of the local Walmart (gosh dang it, it closed). Ummm, Jeebus is guuna rise from the local Whole Foods roof parking lot. Laser beams will come out of every orifice and destruct all nuclear family units on the whole universes. Yee haa

Golly jee, now I gots to go and clean up the messy kitchen first. I know, priorities. It's next - Ah swear.

Are you still scared? Have a good one!

No one is attempting to shame anyone into anything other than becoming acquainted with basic common sense.

While Christianity has a deplorable past, I'm not sure what sense it makes to point to what was done in the distant past, while ignoring the same deplorable behavior of Muslims today? It's really quite delusional.

The fact is, there have been, and will likely always be evil people who will use religion for there own purposes, though anyone trying to insinuate that Christianity is no better than Islam is beyond hope.

Please point to any recent event showing Christians rampaging through communities, raping young girls, with their leaders taunting the locals with threats that they are going to out-breed and out-number them?

Show me a modern day Christian nation that behaves like those savages in Saudi Arabia ... or the savages calling themselves ISIS, ISIL, Al Qaeda, etc.

At some point, everyone needs to face reality.

Why won't you?
