I have no problem sharing a common ancestor with the apes; it's being related to some people that bothers me.

While this is true, their reasons are insane, bordering on laughable.

Only religion could lead to this scale of delusional barbarism, while still maintaining their "right to be respected."
I totally agree with you. They must be stopped.

Since when do muslims care about human rights? If they had their way we wouldn't have any. Well, at least women.

Yes, it is very much a double standard.

sorry but war is won with the biggest stick, and the West (NATO) And East Asia (china, Japan, South Korea) has all the big sticks. at least we (try) not to harm civilians.

Know more about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you' - Neil deGrasse Tyson

Don't forget secularism. It lead to much worse barbarism. Point being, it's humans that are the issue. Atheists outside of America have come to that realization years ago.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
