Too bad the modern church doesn't have Paul around to keep them in check. If you don't know I'm referring to its when the early church leaders, Ananias and Sapphira, were paid a little visit at home by Paul under the direction of the Holy Ghost who slain them in their shoes, the church members had to cart them out and bury them, as an example of why you don't mess around with God's money and business.Oh? You disagree with religious power unchecked? I guess you don't vote republican then.
Upon further study, it appears that you are totally oblivious to irony.Islam's hero = Muhammad, Christians = Jesus. Go study what both stood for and get back to us with your book report by Monday morning.

Oh I don't ever doubt that God loves me sis. My rage? People who use God to excuse ugliness and hate. The Cult45s use their God ONLY for ugliness and hate. Nah sis, my rage ain't going away.Jesus loves you, bro. The sooner you can accept that the sooner your rage will dissipate.
I don't believe I confused Christianity and organized religion.Christianity and organized religion aren't the same thing, however, too many people want to lump them into the same basket. Anything that convinces you that salvation can be found outside of the shed blood of Jesus, tells you that forgiveness can be found outside of confessing your sins to him alone or deviates from the bible is religion. Even Jesus banged heads with organized religion and their leaders while he walked the earth.
The ten commandments tell us thou shalt not kill but religion does whatever is convenient for themselves twisting things into whatever they wish for it to be as long as it suits their particular purposes. Then there's the golden rule which most modern Christians seem to have forgotten yet my secular business college taught that principle in business classes in hopes of installing some sense of a moral compass in the students.And yet Christians and their imaginary peaceful Jesus has caused a lot more evil and racked up a much higher body count that Islam and their violent Muhammad. Granted, Christianity had a head start and was tens of millions of murders and hundreds of thousands of children molested before Islam even got going.
It's not what they stand for, it's what they DO and in that regard Christianity has been worse than Islam.

Asks for proof, provides no proof. Well played.What idiocy. Source that ridiculous claim of Christianity murdering tens of millions.
Secular cultures murdered more in 100 years than Christianity did in 2000.
I remember something called the crusades..... all in the name of God. Same thing happened at the Salem witch trials where accusers caused the deaths of countless families. Remember its Satan that accuses the saints before God night and day from his lofty perch in the heavens.Asks for proof, provides no proof. Well played.

I liked this response ch33z (because you crack me up!) but I would have put a question mark at the end of "well played".Asks for proof, provides no proof. Well played.
The Dark and Middle ages?The proof of my claim is manifest for anyone who spends literally 3 seconds googling. The Great Leap Forward - 45 million waxed. Find something Christianity did that comes anywhere close to that.
If you didnt have the capacity for empathy,you wouldnt have it... case in point psychopaths, no matter how much such one individual would try to acquire empathy, it wouldnt happen.

Religion is poison, so I'll go with equally negative to humanity.
Equally? Maybe in ultimate potential but not for practical outcome.
One has been tamed, and has been present as human rights and Democracy rose to power in the West.
The other is quintessential theocracy that, to this day, presides over human conquest and slavery.
One is a toxic substance we've built a tolerance for, the other is.... sulfuric acid?
I didn't say anything about capacity for empathy, but empathy is definitely learnt. Case in point being every child is a little self-centred shit until they're taught how to be civil. Yes, increasing physical child development resulting in increased brain capacity gives them the storage/processing to learn those things, but those things are still learnt.
People tend to overlook the wars that Islam embarked upon following Muhammad's death in 632, which didn't stop even at the fall of Constantinople in the 1400s, to which the crusades were a response. Why do Christians, and not Muslims, bear such scrutiny for the crusades?
