Are all religions equally harmful? (Islam)

RE: Are all religions equally harmful? (Islam)
Quote:Irrelevant. I do not need to personally know all the world's religions. If it is under the category of religion, then I criticize it for preferring the comfort of fantasy over the harsh truth of reality.
Alright, but you are misinterpreting my question. My question is if the amount of time and intensity of your critics are the same for all religions. Since the answer is "no" because you can't even name all religions on earth then the answer is "no". You can think all of them are bullshit (I think that too) but you don't spend the same energy with all of them. I'm betting you spend more time criticizing Christianity and Islam but you don't criticize Thor and Zeus much. Why? Because few people believe in them and those who do are probably not killing anyone.

Quote:I am going to tell you that I to criticize them the same. See how easy that was.
I disagree. I criticize differently. Reincarnation is bullshit and has no proof, but blowing people is both bullshit and harmful to other non-involved people that have no fault. Saying believing in reincarnation is as bad as blowing innocents over cartoons is an irrational statement. I dislike belief in reincarnation just like I dislike people who think dragons are real, but as long as people are not killing over dragons I don't care

Quote:Actually, I think we're talking about a group of people who are "mentally handicapped", but manage to hide that behind a holy book's instructions.
It's the fact that many "normal" people believe in that holy book that lends credence to it and exacerbates the "mentally handicapped" behaviors.
Ultimately, the moderates are to fault - without moderates, the holy book would not be holy... or would be much less regarded, sort of like the book of mormon.

As long as some people believe in holy tales, screwed up people will use them as backing for their screwed up acts.
I disagree, terrorists are not mentally ill or psychopaths, they are "normal" people like me and you that happened to be heavily brainwashed. If you analyse the brains of a liberal Muslim and a fundamentalist one you'll probably find no neurological anomaly, just someone who was very brainwashed and someone who was just slightly brainwashed
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
