Why is it that you can be critical of christianity until your dying breath, but [Spirituality & Religion]

let's be real here most "christians" aren't even really living their lifestyle and have racist leanings

@emptythrone: Yes it was? Read history? The Islamic Ottomon conquest of Europe? The Islamic Turkish invasion? The Arab slave trade? The massive military expedition carried out by Muhammed and his descendants that conquered a hell of a lot of Asia and even Spain?

And Christianity was used to keep slaves in line over here so if you want to talk about a violent way people carry out faith then let's start in our own house before we go inquiring about others okay?

This is why i see this defense of islam as really western superiority complexes disguised as tolerance. Are you not aware that the largest military campaign and slave trade was carried out by Islamic forces?

@pianoplayingsteve: "largest military campaign and slave trade" Sorry, what year are you talking about?

Darwin was nearly 200 years ago. He was pre-car, pre-train and we have learned a ton since then.

But research since then has confirmed that science has a better answer than the religious groups.

@UDontKnowMe: I'd agree, just don't call it Darwinism

Christianity: Just anything I seem to think is illogical for moral and scientific reasons. So, the ark story, original sin etc And when it comes to islam, i don't even have to criticize a single point of it, rather merely suggest that we scrutinize it as we'd scrutinize christianity, and the name calling starts

@pianoplayingsteve: you do realize that Islam also believes in Noah's Arc, and all the funedemental principles of Christianity, right?

So then, can you be a little more specific?

@Northwest: It has the Noah's Ark story, yes. But not the fundamental principle of Christianity. I've been specific, I criticize the scientific ramifications of old testament stories, such as Noah's Ark and the Garden of Eden, and the moral implications of original sin. And at the same time, I'd criticize whatever anti science claims I'd find in the Qur'an, such as Muhammed splitting the moon in two, and the moral implications of things such as death for apostacy. Point being, I scrutinize both of the religions, but it seems you can only disagree with christianity or you'll be a "way-cist islamophobe! :'("

People don't have time or interest or get paid to 'be fashionable'.

@GoldenWorm: You seriously haven't seen this politically correct trend of young atheists virtue signalling how tolerant they are to a very nasty religion for PC brownie points?

@pianoplayingsteve: lol @ atheist virtue signalling. We do less of that than xtians do. atheists also tend to be all over the map since they aren't being herded by their religions.

I agree! I criticize christianity a lot, but as soon as I give the same scrutiny to islam it's "racist! But christians! All christians kill gays! etc

Atheists generally dislike the two ideologies. But indeed the two religions belong to the same branch, they are Abrahamic cults, which means they are admittedly patriarchal.

I agree, and we should have the freedom to criticize any and every idea. Yet why when one even mentions Islam in a bad light, do you suddenly get "but christianity, you racist! kkk = christianity!" I see no equal measure of insane double standards in any other circle.

@pianoplayingsteve: Right, and where are getting this evidence from...also your entire argument is out of whack. There's no order to it. You should have gone to debate club in high school.

@pianoplayingsteve: Amen!!

How so? One can criticise christianity without being a "racist christianophobe".
