Before a black turns 18, his right to vote has already been taken.

That’s odd, it was during the times when the Christian white majority had all the power in the U.S. that they unleashed the most horrific violence against blacks, gays, and whomever else they hated. By your logic they should’ve been content with merely signing in discriminatory laws rather than terrorizing them decade…

As heinous as some of policies Christian conservatives have conjured up over the past few decades are, they’re nothing compared to the laws (especially regarding women) in countries where Muslim zealots have entrenched power; there’s a reason the tide of political and cultural refugees is one way. And as heinous as…

Yeah, that’s my point, you nailed it. Some straw men don’t even qualify for a face palm.

christian sects, by and large, agree on the fundamentals enough to not kill each other over small differences.

These are not my rules. As Dylann Roof has stated numerous times his primary goal was to start a race war, not to defend Christianity; denying that this was primarily a racist attack is not just wrong, but dangerous. ISIS, al qaeda, and similar groups scream to the heavens (literally) that their primary motivation is…

It has nothing to do with being anti-intellectual, but being against a particular intellectual trend which has more and more come to define the humanities and social sciences over the past century. And I’m more of a centrist than a right winger (i.e. I agree with the right to assisted death, we already have it in…

Try going to Saudi Arabia and publicly insulting Allah; you’ll soon see the massive difference between American “theocracy” and a real theocracy. And not being able to get an abortion would be least of your worries if you happen to have the misfortune of being born a woman there.

http://www.cnn.com/2015/11/30/us/anti-abortion-violence/ Heres about 30 years of Christian terrorism. YOU DICK.

you don’t have to go to such extremes when you are the majority, like christians are in the US. you get the system to do your bidding for you.

I see you must have forgot a lot of the racial violence, murders, and bombings that were in defense of the Christian sanctioned act of segregation. AKA Bombingham, AL.

You’re right; christian american talibans are more sophisticated than that, they send carrier battlegroups to small foreign nations and drop bombs, rockets and missiles using multi-million dollar aircraft.

You’re right. Christian extremists just shoot up health clinics and kill doctors.

We could go tit for tat with lists of violent events inspired by any religion you want, but we’re talking about current threats to world peace and stability (not just in the U.S.) And in most cases you’re just re-interpreting historical events like wars and uprisings as forms of terrorism, continue down that path and…

We’re talking overall frequency of attacks and world wide scale, not just the U.S. Even if we accept your reinterpretation of attacks by people like Dylann Roof into being primarily motivated by religious causes (rather than racial), where outside the U.S. do you see Christian terrorists launching attacks on a daily…

Christian fundamentalism may be a greater danger in the U.S. than Islamic fundamentalism, though how much of a danger either really is would be a debatable point; but worldwide Islamic based fundamentalism is clearly a far greater threat to peace and stability.

Hi, I majored in history and did a thorough study of the Crusades and that era before wikipedia was online. You realize the Crusades were in response to Islamic conquests of formerly Christian ruled territories? (Of course, you did) You can’t condemn the Crusades as religious violence without equally condemning the…

And they’re rare enough that you probably know every one.

I would hope so since Muslims remain a small minority in the U.S., but tally up terrorist attacks throughout the entire world and you’ll see a very different picture.

Sure, if you’re willing to go back to the original Islamic conquests of more than half the known world. But that would be kind of pointless since we’re talking about the situation on the ground today. Islamic fundamentalism is currently a far greater threat to free, democratic societies than Christian fundamentalism…
