Yes dude I'm from Wales, an occupied country no less, where previous centuries have witnessed the oppression and abuse of the population. Not the least of the oppressors was the Christian movement, which forced itself upon the population by the most hideous forms of murder and torture rape and theft, not unlike the genocide of the Native Americans.
You seem to take offence to the notion that christians can be just as violent as muslims, well I suppose it's all down to who and when really.
Yup I've lumped everyone who worships the jesusgod together, better safe than sorry, with a history of violence and genocide it's in my childrens best interest not to try and measure delusion in dergrees.
What is interesting is that I've somehow earned your disgust, did you not anticipate a heated debate when you joined this thread ?

I don't object to can; that wasn't the statement. I object to the does. I can make Charles Manson look like Shirley temple in comparison, but I choose not to.

Dude, my respect is given freely to most people even christians, right up to the point where they insist the world in which I live should operate according to their belief, dito any other religion.
Now why is that so difficult for you to understand ?
Germany ? Yes indeed a young Christian man named Adolf somehowe duped the entire population not because of christianity and not in the name of god but simply because he was a nutter.
Yes Adolf used a pen and ink and wrote a bit and anyone today who ponses around in jackboots insisting that AHs' writings are correct and should be adhered to is given more than stern look.
They have every right to believe what the nazi nut believed, but as many find it repulsive, all attempts are made to prevent this type of person gaining a position of influence.
Perhaps he should have been smarter and registered the nazi party as tax exempt religion, then his cause would possibly still be raking the money in even if considered a repulsive arm of god.
And digressing just a little, if Operation paperclip is anything to go by the mad bastards who supported , Mr moustache ended up across the atlantic working for the most religious country on the planet, oh dear what a web but god is wioth them so it must be ok.
I've not in anyway infered that christians have a genetic disposition to burn people alive,however they do have a history of doing so on behalf of the god they keep in.
So yes indeed I do imply that a devout christian or any other religious type has a greater propensity for "burning people alive", because they can dump the responsibilty on god or satan.
Doesn't mean to say they can get away with it individually in this day and age, but en mass with position and wealth, well look out. History will allways repeat itself if the conidtions are the same.
At the end of the day Ned, I for one would feel a lot safer in the world if, the christian bibles were reduced just to the actual words of jesus, whether he existed or not .
If christianity could no longer function on those writings alone then it wassn't real to begin with.
You have once again accused me of bigotry, I fail to see how you can make this assumption.
I defend those that would chose homosexuality, contrary to your bible.
I defend the right of women to live life equally ,contrary to your bile.
I defend the of somone who chose to worship Allah contrary to your bible.
I defend the right of welsh lorry drivers who choose to eat black pudding, contrary to your bible.
I defend the right of someone who would worship an Oscar contrary to your bible.
I defend the right to be free of slavery, contrary to your bible.
I defnd the right of my child to remain innocent unless proven guilty in a secular court, contrary to your bible.
Most of all I defend my right to protect my children from those who would have those bible laws reinstigated as secular law.
I may come across as arrogant,I may appear ignorant and would admit this I have been accused of .
One thing I'm not, is a bigot.
So why am I still answering such an obviously non-sentient creature?
Because you may knock my door one day collecting money for a new church roof and god is skint again.

especially when after I pointed out recent atrocities committed by Muslims, you then proceeded to justify them with some report of illegal activities in a Catholic school, with the intro that this was "starring Jesus Christ". That is a crime, not an act of war. It is simply not on par with the recent years of killings directed at random civilian targets, all committed in the name of Allah. I will not accept that reverse reasoning. It is not ignorant, it is bigoted and prejudicial.

I'd opt for glorified cult, can't see much between Islam and christianity
