If you compare the major religions you'll find, like in the languages we speak, many similarities. The problem arises when they become dogmatic and repressive.

Of course, it's always fun to knock down the self-righteous a notch or two. From my time in Tennessee I remember Christianity was something like a competitive sport. Quite literally the holier than thou attitude was present in many of the locals. Probably just a cultural quirk though. Anyone here the joke about the Southern Baptists in heaven?

I agree completely. Their is nothing worng with holding a viewpoint or sharing it with others. However, when your viewpoint becomes another's burden, we have problems. Sadly, Christinaity and Islam have become a burden on many.

So the same people who tell everyone in other threads that Muslims can not all be judged by the actions of a few and making long posts about how one should not generalize, come here and make fun of all Chrisitans...

Thank you very much.

Nobody is doing this. You must be misunderstanding what is going on.

Have a sense of humor. I, personally, am an equal opportunity offender. Islam and Christianity share the same lack of rational thought as any other cult in my opinion. This is my opinion and I am not forcing anybody else to believe it by the point of an AK-47 or over threats of flaming eternal damnation.

I find it especially ironic how both Christianty and Islam teach tolerance, humility, and patience. Yet these are some of the most intolerant, arrogant, and impatient folks to walk the earth. Mind you, this does not apply to all and there are certainly heathen infidels who are just as nasty. But if the shoe fits...
