But the worst thing Christianity does today is molest children, which, yes, gives them horrible emotional scarring, but some pull through and no one dies.
Christianity is deserving of those attacks.
Christianity does not molest children, priests do.
What about children who end up killing themselves because of the emotional scarring? Does a destroyed life count for so little that we would turn the other cheek just because some other religion may be worse? Fuck that.

You could use this argument in defense of Christianity if someone had kept track of the people killed because of both religions. As no one has done that, this argument has little weight.

Are you familiar with the Bible?

Islam did not change, and keeps the death punishment very much alive.
The laws of specific countries stop Christians from killing homosexuals, not Christianity.

Going against democracy is worse than killing homosexuals?

Quite simply, that is not true. That is not true in the slightest.

People should oppose all violent and ignorant religions. Why nitpick?
