The butthole puckering from audiences on shows like Real Time when Islam catches static like every other religion makes me think it isn't just that Americans are most familiar with Christianity.

@logicisforsquares said:

That probably plays a factor in some cases

But if you were going to poke fun at / critique a religion, it would make sense to use the one you are most familiar with and the one most prevalent in your country. If you're from the US, that means Christianity.

That they get children to behead Christians and put it on the web?

You've never heard of Ramadan?

It's not like Christmas or Easter where almost everyone knows what they mean

@calfoxwc said:

Most left sources that act that way are terrified of retribution from muslims but too scared to admit out loud that is why they won't tread on Islam.

The next major holiday for Muslims will be the first one I have ever heard of

The scientific method says to study without bias. When have liberals ever done that?

@calfoxwc said:

It happens on both sides. Some atheists don't care, some people of faith don't care about the atheists. Some atheists think everybody who's religious is a dumb sheep, some people of faith shout and yell the same things.

Personally - I'm more agnostic, maybe with a little faith that there's some higher power. The only thing that bothers me is when christians, muslims, jews, or whatever other religion deny evidence that they disagree with. Like choosing not to teach your kids about evolution and such I'm not OK with. You can choose to be ignorant, but at least let your kids learn about the theory and see the evidence for themselves.EDW

*****************************************************

Apparently, some atheists on the board don't care about offending Christians. But, denying evidence they don't agree with?

Why do liberals get to decide WHAT evidence is valid? Besides that, I do agree with you with teaching kids about

evolution. But not at the chosen expense of teaching about Creation. Creation exists, too. Oddly, you libs want to get

to choose what beliefs/theories get taught, and which ones are not. Why not teach both, and let the kids decide

for themselves? But no, liberals hate self-determination/self-actualization, because they want to control what gets

self-determined and self-actualized. There's plenty of evidence supporting Biblical events. Liberals hate that possibility.

I'm for teaching science in science class

Oh, I know, it wasn't directed at you, just that the left does it so often, and jblu's op is offensive. I mean, the left tends to

go freaking irate if you complain about Muslims, even only the extremist Muslims. They think it isn't "fair".

But, they are right there to criticize/ridicule/offend Christians.

You see jblu posting anything about Mohammed? Nope. woody? nope. Do you see anyone here with spiritual beliefs

ridiculing non-believers? Ever?

But generally, liberals can't stand anything that isn't them, that is mainstream. They always have to be fighting windmills.

Are the majority of Americans?

Does Islam have a giant influence on our country?

Christianity is picked on for those reasons. That doesn't mean anyone is endorsing Islam. (though I know you prefer the whole black and white thing)

Does anyone on here know when a major Muslim holiday is? 149

****************************

If I understand correctly... Osiris does....

Doesn't the constitution forbid the mixing of church and state?

Last time I checked, public schools are government institutions 149

****************************

If I understand correctly... Osiris does....

and about the separation....NO. It does not. It forbids the establishment

of state defined official religion. But go ahead and teach about evolution,

and teach the science that supports the theory, to the point that it can. Teach

about how the "missing link" means we don't know everything we need to know.

And teach about creationism, that there is scientific evidence that lends credence to

Biblical events, but we don't know everything we need to know.

Dang, go ahead and teach the science about mmgw, pro and con.

Teach ALL the science, not just the liberal politically accepted science.

But my belief in that isn't shared by liberals. Very telliing.

@calfoxwc said:

You made some excellent points. Christianity is always the easy target. Christians can be ridiculed without any consequences but most of those who ridicule Christians would not ridicule Muslims because of fear for their own safety. So many of them are cowards and hypocrites.

I don't remember Mohammed being ridiculed...especially on a major Muslim holiday or anything,

liberals always demand to offend others, but all hell breaks loose if you disagree with them about

evolution, mmgw, and the perversion of Real Marriage. They take offense IMMEDIATELY.

But, when they openly offend anyone they disagree with, why, all those offended shoud lighten up and

respect THEIR free speech. They just get to decide who is allowed to have free speech.

See anybody here ridicule Mohammed? I never have. I've never ridiculed anyone who is agnostic,

atheist. Stop and think about that. We'll wait and see if jblu wants to offend Muslims with

an offensive pic about Mohammed.
