Question for Christians. Who would you rather live with? Compared to Islam we aren't so bad are we?
There are no calls for
slavery,
rape or
murder in the atheist holy book. Atheists are most often called ‘militant’ when they passionately defend reason and advocate critical thinking. The bar theists set for perceived hostility appears to be any atheist simply voicing an opinion in dissent of religious belief. In contrast, the bar atheists set for perceived theistic hostility is any form of religiously motivated violence or oppression. Atheism does not preclude someone from being argumentative or insensitive; those things are simply seen as being preferable to killing one another over an imaginary friend. A ‘militant’ atheist will debate in a University or appeal for the separation of religion and government. A militant theist will
kill doctors,
stone women to death,
incite religious war, restrict sexual and gender equality and convince gay children they are
flawed and worthless – all under the instruction of their imagined ‘god’ or holy book.
I’m sorry if my insensitivity towards your beliefs offends you. But guess what – your religious wars, jihads, crusades, inquisitions, censoring of free speech, brainwashing of children, forcing girls into underage marriages, female genital mutilation, stoning, pederasty, homophobia and rejection of science and reason offend me. So I guess we’re even.
Something interesting is the definition of religion as found in a dictionary.
Religion is the means to re-unite the human being with his Creator. Religions leads man to re-building his relationship with his Lord who created him. A truthful religion is the way to reaching love everlasting and mutual with the Creator of everything, the Creator of the universes.
We know for a fact that an unique Almighty God exists. Those who don't know may ask about it. We know for a fact that Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family), Jesus, Noah, Moses, Adam (peace on them) were prophets of God and friends of God Almighty. For instance, for Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family) we know his holiness and his heavenliness from the Night Journey. This is a very well accepted fact. Jesus is also a prophet of God and everything in Christianity is true so long as it does not contradict the message of Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family).
This is why an atheist is not someone well intentioned. Also, someone who does not have a God to rely on is in a terrible condition. All these diseases humans get, like stress is an illustration of that. The believer has a Lord on whom he relies upon, thus enjoying rest of soul and self confidence.
