You are hypocritical in contributing to a debate of which you disapprove. So stop. Nobody is forcing to take notice or post here. Avoid the thread, it's not hard. Furthermore, nobody is advocating racism here. I don't respect Christianity (more of which below) and I actively despise Islam but that doesn't make me hate or despise Muslims (some of which are actually friends of mine who are adult enough to debate the issue). I feel sorry for them.
Islam: A religion that encourages or at least turns a blind eye to marriages of pre-pubescent schoolgirls. Why? Because the prophet himself was married to an 8 year old
; Where the punishment for apostacy or homosexuality is death. Passage in the Qu'ran actually instruct men on how to effectively beat their wives. Yet the buzzword is "tolerance"! I'm sorry but whereas I can just about tolerate Christians spouting crap every time I walk past Primark this is something that no right thinking person SHOULD tolerate. It's barbarism at its worst and tolerance is its biggest friend. By the way there's nothing in the Qu'Ran about covering womens' heads or faces, and that was made up too to suit the agenda of men.
Christianity: Well we don't have the dangerous evangelicals here in numbers as in the U.S but they are just as bad as they see their mission as a crusade against Islam. They are very influential in the U.S and are a real worry. But amongst my many problems with Christianity is the constant reference to scriptures, all of which were written by men. You don't need this to have a moral compass and the self-righteous claptrap we hear from Christians to the contrary is downright offensive to me. You refer to Moses and Jesus so let's take a look at these guys.
Is this the same Moses? (Numbers, 31:7-18) "
Moses was furious with all the military commanders who had returned from the battle. "Why have you let all the women live?" he demanded. "These are the very ones who followed Balaam's advice and caused the people of Israel to rebel against the LORD at Mount Peor. They are the ones who caused the plague to strike the LORD's people. Now kill all the boys and all the women who have slept with a man. Only the young girls who are virgins may live; you may keep them for yourselves."
Bet your local preacher never uses this on a Sunday.
And the head honcho Jesus himself who ordered his followers to love him "above all others", including their own family. Er, sorry doesn't work for me, bruv.
Bottom line is that religion is bunkum and has been used by men for generations as a means to gain power and control the sheep-like masses who fear damnation in the afterlife.
