What are your thoughts about muslims?

@kayle If it wasn't for Christians, this world would be a complete hell hole. They are the only ones who bother with the homeless and destitute in the United States. They are the one's building schools and hospitals and providing basic needs in 3rd world countries. In the US, if all the Christians disappeared, it would be an unprecedented disaster for the homeless and others because of the repercussions .....

@puck61 You don't have to be a Christian or have any religion to have compassion for people in need.

@kayle Of course not. They are just the one's out there helping.

If I'm starving I would much rather have a bowl of food, than a bowl of compassion.,

@puck61 I'm sure there are many atheists who are kind people and do good things for other people.

@puck61 A lot of the world's most successful charities are secular, like UNICEF, the majority of the American Red Cross, Human Rights Watch, Doctors Without Borderes, and the Malaria Consortium.

And I suggest that "puck61" read up on the "Crusades" if you think Christians are always benevolent.

@kayle I would go with the Northern Crusades, personally, but the southern Crusades are a decent read.

@BlueVeins Yes, Christianity has quite a violence past. There is even much malice depicted in the Bible.

@Kenscoff In a world history time frame 1800 is recent.

@Kenscoff Well they must have been using the "old" in my Sunday School because I remember God command Abraham to kill his son and other such brutalities. I don't know how people can say the word of God doesn't count if it's in the Old Testament.

@Kenscoff I don't see how people have to authority to choose which things in the Bible are to be followed or ignored.

@Kenscoff Well that's the problem I have with religion- it's too subjective, too ambitious. I like science where things can be proven to be true or false. Ohm's law works each and every time. It is not dependent on someone's interpretation.

@Kenscoff Well two things I must learn to keep quiet about is politics and religion. It is just futile to discuss either. Everyone has their beliefs and are not going to change.

@Kenscoff Don't think that I'm anti-church- if people want to go to church that's fine with me- but I think those people are good people who would do good things even if they didn't go to church.
