"Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful" - Edward Gibbon (Offen misattributed to Lucius Annaeus Seneca or Seneca the Younger) (Thanks to apophenia for the correction)
'I am driven by two main philosophies: 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 "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it." - Mark Twain
Actually, they all suck.
So talking is now equated with murder?
A Moslem looked down upon me for getting drunk and later on I found out they started to drink, so ummm = Number 4 is BS. The only reason he did not say anything was because he did not want to look different that the rest. Had his faith been more accepted, he would be talking about it. There is a difference between respect and being uptight...Christians have them as well, they're called Fundamentalists.
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.

Sorry, I have this thing about wasting my time watching Islam apologetics videos: they're even worse than Christian apologetic videos. Especially the condescending ones such as one entitled "My religion is true, your is mistake." They usually focus on using verses from the quran to prove the quran. ie "The quran says 'bla bla bla, Allah is the only God, all others are false, bla bla bla.' See, the quran is true and Allah is the only god!"
@zentor,
That has to be one of the more ignorant and bigoted bits of hot cock I've heard here since this morning. (you haven't quite caught up with our resident Catholic apologists,but you're getting there). Me? I neither despise nor respect any group of people. My respect and my contempt are both earned,on an individual basis. zentor Wrote:1. the % of muslims that want to kill people is very small compared to the worlds population of muslims' Preaching and killing are two very VERY different things. I'm sure you knew that though? Quote:3. Muslims actually seem to respect god. christians joke about him all the time, "jesus is my homeboy" but with muslims god is srs business. they do their religious rites strictly. Have you never met a Christian that lives by the Bible??? Sorry for being picky, but it seems like you have a bias towards Muslims. Not that there's anything wrong with that in the least bit, but I just find you're being unfair to Christians with meaningless comparisons (killing/preaching) and ignorance (saying that only Muslims take their religion seriously). "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it" ~ Aristotle

Where Muslims are outnumbered and outgunned by non-Muslims, there is plenty of warmth and kindness towards non-Muslims. For this reason, I can understand why you arrived at the conclusion you did. I think that behind closed doors, Muslim parents are shoving the religion down children's throats. I visited mosques and saw an Imam shouting "Read your Koran!" to a young child like a madman on crack. I visited mosques a number of times during my days of "deconversion" to learn more about religion. I asked many questions and the answers always had disturbing implications (different mosques tended to have immigrants from different countries), especially when I asked why the women were fully covered, separated during prayer, and not being openly social like the men.
You mentioned ratios for behaviors by Muslims and Christians. Think about this. What percent of Muslims believe in evolution and what percent of Christians do? What percentage of Muslims literally believe Hell has fire and what percent of Christians do? The criteria used to label Christians "fundamentalists" (Old Earth, Hell fires, etc.) applies to the overwhelming majority to Muslims I ever met.
