Allie I don't mind you saying what you do, it's your opinion, but when you quote me please respond to what I say.
I'm not saying anything bad about christianity, you think I am because you're bigotted towards islam. I'm not bigotted towards either, my point is that neither religion has a pattern of being responsible for american homicides.
People do horrible, immoral shit because they're people. If islam vanished tomorrow the human race wouldn't all of a sudden become more moral.
(and btw, yes the Bible does advocate for the slaughtering of innocents and even gives examples of your God slaughtering innocents and speaks of these actions glowingly.)
The bible. NOT the gospel, and Christians adhere to the Gospel as the fulfillment of prophesy from the OT. The Gospel provided us salvation without the need of deed-driven righteousness.
I don't buy the subjective concept that everyone is equally bad; that all religion is bad. When you can point specifically to Islam and look on a map and see that where the most strife, the most oppression, the most poverty and butchery take place in countries where Islam has a foothold, and you can trace those horrific acts and practices straight to Muslims, then I think it's time to appreciate there's a problem with Islam and it needs to be recognized and addressed.
The numbers don't compare; even the stupid Crusades which is the most recent example of Chrsitian oppression that anyone can come up with, resulted in a miniscule number of deaths. They were in fact undertaken in RESPONSE to Islam threat.
Salem witch trials...what, less than a hundred people killed. Spanish Inquisition, a drop in the bucket. And short lived as well. Because the Christian majority will not tolerate that sort of barbarity for very long.
Not so with Islam. It is tolerant of and encourages the oppression and murder of infidels and in fact their own women and children.
So while a separate discussion could be the problematic incidents that have occurred ostensibly in the name of Christianity, it's dishonest and ridiculous to pretend that Christianity has ever perpetrated wholesale slaughter on the world on anything like the scale of Islam.
