Islam vs Christanity a neutral comparison

and some christians may be against gay marriage, but muslim countries jail people who are gay, and actively search for gays to incarcerate.

first off not all christians were in the crusades, a king started this. also the christians got into the crusades to protect the holy land from muslims, who were killing christians and jews and taking over the holy land. (i do not like the idea of a holy land, just using it because they did). and as pointed out, some people think it is ok to punish others for what someone did hundreds of years ago. the crusades, slavery, native americans.

My point is if you combine all that with the "once right/wrong always right/ wrong", then Christianity is either violent or hypocritical. Your choice.

news flash, none of us here were there no had any part in any of it. should we not be worried about who is doing what now, rather than making excuses for people actions based on events that took place way outside of our lifetime.

Here's a SECOND person telling me I'm making excuses for Muslims murdering people. You guys need an English comprehension course or something.

you can compare bottled water to urine, but it does not mean they are the same.

I'm comparing one religion to another, which is what this thread is for. Everyone's going nuts about Islam, not the actual murderers, so it should be fair game to point out the idiocy of Christianity over the years. If you're going to dish it out, be ready to take it, is all.

for the millionth time no. people want to point out the difference in violence committed by fringe individuals and violence committed by large percentages of a population. I am the first person to call out idiotic comments or violent actions by "christians." you try to compare mobs of people killing in the name of religion with lone individuals doing the same. you can't compare the two and say they are equal.

I don't know the exact numbers but I heard that there around around 1 billion followers of islam in the world. In any walk of life you have good people and you have bad people but for the generally speaking people are usually good. 1% of 1 billion is about 10 million. So you want to give islam a black eye because of their 1 percent but we must give christanity a pass for their 1 percent because of what reason again?? Bottom line is that islam is no more violent or evil than christanity but of course you will not admit it publically admit it here because you have a vested intrest in the promotion and advancement of christanity.

and with that lie I will excuse myself from this conversation. Is anyone scared to draw a cartoon about jesus? Is anyone scared to make a movie that belittles christianity? I wonder why not.

I would think that most of us with any sense who believe in God are worried about getting right by God and not clowning the next man's religion. Any atheist with any sense wouldn't make a video like that because he/she couldn't care less about any religion. Thanks for playing ensberg please come back soon.

Again, it is a segment of the followers that are more violent, not the religion. Why is this so hard to understand?

Because he just like any other conservative christian picks and choses what he wants to go by and disregards the points that do not suit his agenda.

it is not hard to understand. violence is more encouraged and prevalent in islam than any other religion. why is this so hard to understand?

Encouraged by who? The 1% who are fanatics? Thanks for stereotyping 1 billion people because the actions of 1% of them.

where do you get your 1% number from? I'm not stereotyping all muslims. I have said numerous times that I am fully aware that the fanatics do not represent the whole or even the majority. However, they represent a much larger percentage then you find any any other religion IMO.

See, this is what he doesn't understand. By making these statements he's calling all Muslims violent murderers, yet he'll turn around and say it's not racist or stereotyping or anything like that.

It's like if I said Republicans are evil and tried to pass it off as a non-partisan, non-political statement.
