You'd have more credibility with me if you did less comparing the saints of Christianity to the ass holes of Islam. The ass holes of Islam are current events, not Christian ass holes of the Dark Ages.

Less, > You'd have more credibility with me if you did less comparing the saints of Christianity to the ass holes of Islam. Religious persecution is a fact of life. Here we have it so easy, what with churches and mosques and synagogues and Buddhist temples all residing very close to one another without any fear of violence. Maybe the occasional vandal motivated by hate or boredom, but that's about it. We in America don't inspire religious persecution. Instead, we inspire coexistence, tolence, a free market of ideals, all that stuff that people take for granted. So a mosque wants to open up a few blocks away from Ground Zero. So a pastor wants to burn the Koran. Will either of those acts really cause the union to fall apart? Maybe if we actually lived up to the ideals of tolerance, these would be non-issues. Instead, we get oh-so-offended over nothing. Meanwhile the real offensive stuff happens half a world away. Pointing that out over and over again gets tiring when people here obviously don't care. Of course, I'm going to be biased toward Christianity, but I also take a strong stand against Christian violence toward Muslims. That's just wrong. I don't know where you get the idea that I'm comparing the saints of Christianity to the assholes of Islam. That sounds more like what Bentway wants you to think. Tenchusatsu
