I'm going to quote minimalist and tell you to blow it out your ass Chad dear. As for the OP I would say Christianity, for their genocidal history (and we all know how history tends to repeat itself) as well as the fact that they have so much pull in the world. 
At the end of the day religion is just a collection of ideas that were passed down from generation to generation, it's no more dangerous than any other idea conceived on its own. But if we're just looking at the practitioners of the idea it probably is a toss-up between Christians and Muslims. The former has too much weight in the world and in America are in a position to create and reject laws on the grounds of their religion. Muslims will just kill ya.

I chose. Christianity over Islam because nothing is worse than a frightened Christian. Not in America, anyways. Due process of law means nothing to those who consider their power to be divine right. Anyone who isn't in their right is by default wrong and therefore innumerable amounts of travesties can have and will be done in the name of god. Not to mention the new Christian Reich rising out of Russia's ashes, and our nuclear capabilities so closely in the hands of Christian extremists. .
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite. Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment. Quote:Some people deserve hell. I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong. ![[Image: tumblr_n1j4lmACk61qchtw3o1_500.gif]](https://66.media.tumblr.com/5fb74c6d16622fb3dbb358509c9aec03/tumblr_n1j4lmACk61qchtw3o1_500.gif)

The only real important difference is that Christianity had a sort of secular leash put on it by people like Jefferson. In Islam we haven't seemed to have had that backlash against religion as institution that happened in the enlightenment for Christianity. In other words, Islam is Christianity from the dark ages only without a pope.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. 
But if it weren't for the First Amendment, Christians would have turned the United States into a theocracy by now. Not only that, but we waged a couple of "wars on terror" against people who worship a different god, and it is far easier to kill someone you perceive to be evil heathen Satan worshipers than it is to kill people who are just like you. Christians in this country have had no compulsion against bombing brown Muslims in other countries or even viewing every single one of them as a terrorist out to kill Christians.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

Jesus H Christ in a sidecar, you don't seem like a simpleton, but yet tout this "warning" as if we are hearing it for the first time. Earth to Matilda! We've heard this warning before. I know. Shocking. Now, Chadsy, are you aware, that if you don't worship Allah and acknowledge Mo-Man as his prophet, you are going to Islamic Hell? Where they like to dress up the inmates in palm fronds, set them alight, burn your skin all off and then, you get a new skin and it starts all over! Good times in Islamic Hell, don't you think? Wouldn't want to be down there, oh my, no way Jose! Better get with the Mo-Man/Allah program toot sweet! You've been warned! As for what superstition is the worst today, I'd put that at the feet of Allah-freaks, with Jesus-freaks coming in second. 
Well if I had to pick a legitimate religion, I would have to say Islam since it's history is tied with conquest.
For a non-legitimate religion, I would say atheism since atheists have killed by far the most people.
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.

'The more I learn about people the more I like my dog'- Mark Twain
'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House “Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom "If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech |
