Another example of Christianity destroying culture.

RE: Another example of Christianity destroying culture.
Quote:Indeed, churches in the UK, specifically the historic ones, tend to be extremely beautiful with a rich tapestry of art and historical information imbued within them. People spraying graffiti over them is stupid.
I love churches as historical monuments - I think the principle applies to any European country or any country that is (or used to be) traditionally Christian. In the case of the UK I presume it's related to Anglicanism more than Catholicism
Quote:
Mosque's are often vandalised here following on from a terrorist attack or an atrocity committed in the name is Islam. I condemn that too, as more often than not it's done by thugs who lack the capability to demolish the religion through discourse and hence resort to petty crime instead.
I despise these acts - I think vandalizing mosques is an example of Islamophobia, not as a criticism of Islam, but as a demonstration of hatred for another culture. Destroying mosques is what far right parties like to see happen, the same people who dislike Muslims not because they are Muslims, but because they are arab. I think very few people, specially skeptics, who dislike religion (Islam included) would support vandalizing mosques, just like they wouldn't support vandalizing churches.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
