Do you have a least-favorite Religion?

I'm just curious... How many Muslims do you know personally? Have you ever socialized with a Muslim? I have, on numerous occasions. When you get to know the people, you start to see the religion itself in a completely different light.
Hey Kat. How's it going?

I'm willing to have this discussion, but I'm not sure if you and many other would like it.

That was why my original response was simple and vague.

Judaism. Not to offend, I have no problem with someone making an individual religious choice, but it's stemmed two other religions which have caused many problems in this world.

Even if you could find a logical way to attribute the behavior of nonJews to Judaism, it seems to me that they have already been severely punished for it.

I was raised Christian but am dyslexic, for that reason i was driven from the church i loved. A 14 year old can only stand so much scorn and verbal abuse for being unable to read the bible.

That was number one

Number 2 was the Manchester bombing, Christians (more precisely the Catholic ira) peppered me with shrapnel and removed my aunts arm before my eyes.

Number 3 i wont discuss but involves prolonged and brutal abuse at the hands of a true Christian believer

Number 4,bwalking my children in their pushchair i was beaten to the ground and my children's pushchair was tipped onto the road in front of an on coming bus. They were pulled back by a passing jewish guy, while the two thugs, laughing, barged past a priest and into a church from where they disappeared. When asked by the police the priest denied seeing anyone fleeing.

Much as i loath the misogyny of Islam, no Muslim has ever tried to hurt me or mine. I only wish i could say the same of Christianity which has truly earned its place as least favorite religion

Christianity can be proud to boast that it, and it alone is the reason i am atheist.
The OP was asking about religion, not professed adherents to religion.

You understand that all these people you mentioned do not accurately represent the values of Christianity, right?

Yeah because all those pagans were true peace-loving, bear-hugging purple dinosaurs.

Read the babble and you will see that those i mentioned learned the babble well. Yes they do represent Christian values of intolerance.

Nope

One is how it is directly based on experience the second is what is known as sarcasm where it is deserved?

And why may i ask do you consider it double standard?
I didn't read throughout the whole page so I missed the sarcastic intent.

As for your statements about Christianity's values, I'm sorry you had such experiences but they don't speak for Christians or Christianity as a whole.

Okay.

Correct, and by the same token not all Muslims are radicalised extremists and terrorists. However every group has is bad element, it's my experience that Christianity is worst for me, in the same way that the Westminster terror attack survivors will, in general, have a justified dislike for Islam.

Having said that, my best friend is a devout born again Christian.

First, it is spelled "Bible" and it is not pronounced "babble", but "BYE-BUL".

On the internet, all I have to judge you on are the words you use and spelling Bible that way makes you look not so smart. I'd like to think better of you, because I'm sure you are better. So be better.

Second, learning something and living something are two very different things.

How about instead of asking me to read the Bible, how about you read the words of Christ and come to understand that those who act that way are not following His example or teachings.
