You think that every Muslim is out to kill infidels?
What....are you Heck with the "every?"
At any rate so what? It's pretty easy to see the balance sheet when tallying up the really horrible spots in the world.
Middle east Northern Africa the Philippines etc.

Here's why I used the word "every"
Christian ideals TODAY, (not 800 fucking years ago,)... GOOD.
Muslim countries TODAY, (not... well... they've always been fucking shitty, no matter what century you talk about,)... EVIL.
He refers to Christian ideals, as a whole, as good. Then, he refers to Muslim countries, as a whole, as evil. Clearly, the guy is talking about Islamic extremism/radicalism and even mentions that a type of relativism is bullshit. If that's how he's going to look at the world, I'm going to have to call him out on it. You can't look at the worst and apply it to a blanket statement about everyone. I even said I thought both philosophies were stupid, but only used Christian examples. For what it's worth, the worst of Islam is far worse than the worst of Christianity today. I'd love to visit my family in the Philippines, but they're from a rural area and (you're absolutely right) the reason I am afraid to go is because I'm an American and am scared of being kidnapped by Islamic extremists.

Actually by and large I'd say he's right.
I don't really see the second class status of women in modern day christianity.
What I do see is a bunch of outreach, helping the poor saving the lost et cetera et cetera .
What I see of Christianity is turning the other cheek being good to your neighbor blah blah blah.
The 10 commandments don't include thou shalt not suck somebody's dick.
Muslims are quite a bit stricter I'm sure you'd agree.
I think you'd have a hard time on any given sunday to walk into any mainstream church and find a minister preaching hate. Well, except the 1 the president attended....
But let's not waste time with every or all it's just it seems to me that todays Muslims are a lot harsher then todays Christians.
I think there is a basic difference in the philosophies.
That being said I've spent an amount of time around Muslimss Arabs Pakistanis Indians Syrians et cetera et cetera all of which seem to me to be good decent human beings.

There is quite the difference between being "stricter" and being "evil."
And what you see in Christianity is what I see in very few Christians, family and friends included. The ones who do act like that have all of my respect. What I see in Christianity is a bunch of people telling me how I'm supposed to be living.

Again you're speaking of individuals.
But still let's not forget that a huge part of the human experience is having someone tell you how you should live your life.
Either from a religious manual or presidential campaign.
" now it may be the devil, or it might be the Lord, but you're gonna have to serve somebody.."

Religions get a tax-exemption in large part to not meddle in politics. Then you get the Catholic Church and LDS putting a bunch of money towards stopping prop 8.

I don't believe the lds church made any direct contributions to the prop 8 fight.
Love it or hate it that's the majority view all across the nation.
And if I'm not mistaken the will of the people was overridden by an activist judge in that particular case correct?

So what about it? People are more concerned over activist judges who try to change the laws to follow their tadical beliefs.
