Some Christians still do if they can.Murdering gays and abortion doctors for example. I won't even start on the Crusades,the Inquisition,The Reformation or Counter Reformation,plus centuries of rabbid hatred towards and Pogroms of the Jews. The Holocaust simply would not have been possible without a thousand year tradition of Christian antisemitism.
As a matter of historical record,Islam has generally been less violent more tolerant,and more honourable in war than Christianity.
Interesting, I never thought of Christianity like that before ...

It's a matter of how much civilization restrains either one. Christianity committed atrocities when it had free reign to do so. These days, Christian leaders can only envy the Muslim leaders for the power they have.

Christians never murdered people on the scale that muslims have. This is a terrible comparison. The Crusades were a war, people die in war. The Church never went about killing people. The closest thing, but is still different in many levels, is the inquisition and only a few thousand died over the course of like 500 years. You should take off your "I hate Christianity" glasses and read the facts. Many Chrsitians have done evil things, but it was against what Christinaity teaches.
You are an idiot.

No it wasn't it was for taking Christianity too literally that those things happened Quote:No it wasn't it was for taking Christianity too literally that those things happened Do you even know what Chrsitianity teaches?

Muslims never murdered people on the scale that christians have. This is a terrible comparison. For example : Christians murdered up to 100 000 000 natives of the new world and the carribean,. This alone is a score that Allahs minions could never hope to reachhock: And the bible teaches, for example, to throw little kids against rocks (February 5, 2011 at 5:01 pm)Regens Küchl Wrote: Muslims never murdered people on the scale that christians have.

The argument is tu qouque and irrelevant. You may not excuse or trivialise your crimes by pointing out mine.

I disagree with your opinion, DeistPaladin, because religion is not a competition of who's going to make a bigger and badder religion. That's not the purpose of religion. |
