Would anyone join this religion?

[TheGreatGatsby]

Too many people want to impose their religious beliefs on others instead of minding their own business.

Is that what this thread is about? No. You don't want to talk about that.

The OP should read the Old Testament. It is filled with sexism, violence and anti-scientific garbage.

Yes Islam is a joke (obviously), but the Bible is filled with immoral, socially backward, pre-modern nonsense.

Then leave this thread and go start an anti-Christian thread.

Well, I would say that plenty of people understand their holy books as allegory.

Not Muslims.

You speak for 1.5 billion people?

What if a new religion was going to be started today. It was brand new and one of the laws said you can beat your wife and rape her if you want. It also says non-believers can be sold into slavery. The founder was a murdering conquer who had several child brides. Women had to be covered or they can be publicly stoned. Would you join this religion?

You just described multiple religions. But good question why would anyone want to be part of that?

Most people throw out the icky parts of their religion. They like the nice parts. Perhaps that is a good thing that we all have some common sense.

The problem is we don't all have common sense.

Exactly. Too many people want to impose their religious beliefs on others instead of minding their own business.

Those people are called "Muslims."

I simply observe what they say and do. Try it sometime. You might learn something.

Would you join a religion that commanded you to turn your other cheek to an enemy who struck you?

True, the Old Testament is full of that stuff, but Christianity is based mostly on the New Testament.

What do you want to talk about? Islam? Yes it is stupid. It also shares most of the same beliefs as the other Abrahamic religions.

1.5 billion people is a lot to observe. My guess is you don't know a single Muslim.

Muslims are very successful at spreading Islam preying on the uneducated, disenfranchised, and angry people of the world. That is why we need no part of their nonsense in the US. Go peddle your 7th century crap somewhere else.

Could you post a thread or post number on here where any Christian has made an attempt to force his/her religious views upon you? I will await your honest response to prove your accusation.

Could you post a thread or post number on here where any Muslim has made and attempt to force his/her religious views upon you? I can find countless posts of Christians condemning gay people, birth control, evolution, minorities, education, science... I can find posts of them advocating genocide, murder... I can find links to Christians trying to pass legislation to impose their religious beliefs on others...

What would you like?

Paris, San Bernadino, 9/11, ISIS. Those are examples of Muslims using force on people to convert them to Islam.

No those are examples of terrorists trying to make you terrified of them. And it seems like they've defeated you.

What did I ask you to post? I asked you to post a thread or post number where you can prove that a Christian attempted to impose his/her view upon you. It was a simple enough request. I did not ask for generalities. I asked for you to show one where a Christian attempted to impose his/her views upon you. I am still waiting. I have made no such statement concerning Muslims, atheists, or anyone attempting to impose their views upon me. You did, however. Now post your proof.

Now you are resorting to stupid. I said nothing about any threat. I simply said to post where a Christian attempted to impose his/her views upon you. You refuse to do so because such a post is non-existent.
