I would say there are very few people in this world that could not improve using this simple idea. The fact that christians and muslims contain a full spectrum of humanity and given the sheer numbers involved that its not hard to find pictures like these. With a few clicks I could reciprocate but what would the point be? That we should judge the truth or otherwise of an idea by the behaviour of some of its adherents ?
No one here questions the good in loving one another. In fact, anything good that came out of the Bible isn't original and anything that is original isn't good.
Humans figured out long before Jesus allegedly walked the earth that loving one another was beneficial to the survival and general happiness of man.
So when you use the words, "judge the truth," and imply that I'm unfairly labeling your giant cult because of a handful of pictures, it insults my intelligence.
It's more than a handful of pictures and it's far more than isolated incidents. Your religion is the polar opposite of the idea of loving one another. I'm not saying that your religion hasn't "quite figured it out yet," I'm saying that your religion actively and purposely practices the very opposite of what you are professing.
Christianity is the poster child for immorality. It is the engine that keeps evil alive and well on this planet. Don't for a second think that I was trying to imply that christianity has "a few bad apples." No no, christianity IS the disease.
