As I said, I don't let people like you offend me. My original question at the beginning of this thread was why people, such as yourself, think its ok. But, all I have seen so far are flames against religion. So, instead of trying to make yourself look big by making others look small, answer the question.
You aren't going to win, right or not. It's against the physics of the internet. The fact that there are millions of religious people who live honest lives, without desiring to kill anyone or *** everything up, doesn't mean a thing to most people around here. If there are bad examples - and we both know that religion has started trouble enough in the past - then that is all the proof that is needed.
"There are 11 black rapists in my city; being black is bad." is the same kind of thinking. It's wrong, but you're not gonna change it.
Funny, though, that people so apt to talk about the bigotry of religion can't see their own.
Edit: Also funny is that while Christianity seems to be the common target, you don't hear people ragging on how *** up buddhists are, or how stupid Native American religion is. If that's because you don't see as many crazy people of those faiths, then the people making the hateful statements are pretty unfair and biased themselves. If it's because they don't think a crazy Indian killed some random people because of his flawed understanding of his religion, then the people making the hateful comments are closed-minded. If it's because they don't see it on the news, the people making the statements are naive. So, it's pretty awesome all around.
