Well, as an aethist, I share your disdain for religion in general- I specifically find monotheistic religions bloody minded. At the same time, I don;t view Islam any worse than Christianity. The question is how fundamnetalist one is.

Christianity had a ~650 year start on Islam, so what were Christians doing to "sinners" 650 years ago?Comment

No, so what went wrong with Christianity? It became an ideology thanks to Constantine making it a state religion.Did Jesus want apostates to be killed? Or led a war against somebody?Comment

He did? Good, cause I am certainly willing to covet my neighbor's wife, if she is hot. Good to know Jesus freed' us from those barabaric laws. The ones about Gays too, right?Originally posted by Heresson

So why do Christians keep refering to the Old Testament for justifications to commit plenty of nasty things instead of just relying on Jesus' teachings?Originally posted by Heresson

No, he didn't. So why did Christians go on to do as such anyway?Did Jesus want apostates to be killed? Or led a war against somebody?The cake is NOT a lie. It's so delicious and moist.

You see, when you call Christianity stupid, it is hilarious, but if you call Islam stupid, you are a racist.
Let's just agree that they're both stupid, alright?"You're the biggest user of hindsight that I've ever known. Your favorite team, in any sport, is the one that just won. If you were a woman, you'd likely be a slut." - Slowwhand, to Imran

Christianity as defined by the teachings of Jesus isnt stupid, even the apostates 'o Islam refer to the golden rule as the essence of goodness. Its just what people claiming to be Christians have done to the religion that is stupid. I mean, the term "conservative Christian" is an ideological reference and Jesus made it clear not to mix ideology with his teachings.Comment

Fundimentalist Christians are stupid but there is a difference between Islam and Christianity. The Koran says that only good muslims are fundimentalists (i.e. follow every tenet of the Koran and every teaching of Mohammed) including beating your wife (wives), killing apostates & nonbelievers, that it is ok to steal from or kill nonbelievers, then you also have Mohammed (who is the highest moral authority in Islam after god) raping, murdering, assassinating political rivals, ordering Jews slaughtered for not joining his cult, commited pedophilia with a 9 year old, and dozens of other horrible things.
I find them both disagreeable but Islam is by fa rthe more loathsom of the two.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

And the Bible says you can just follow the verses you want, right?
commited pedophilia with a 9 year old
This statement by itself shows that you are coming at this with prejudice and bias and not logically weighing Christianity and Islam. I've heard this on numerous occasions by ignorant people who don't realize that there are sometimes familial obligations to marry people, but that doesn't mean you have sex with them.
The 9 year old was married by Muhammed, but he did not have consummate the marriage when she was young. It was done because her family was killed and according to Arabic tradition he was to take her as a wife so she would be taken care of, not to have sex with
.
One of the main problems is people trying to analyize another culture without any knowledge of that culture other than the shallowest view.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
