Remember The Last Temptation of Christ in the 1980's? There were some protests but nothing like the Jyllands Post cartoon. The Life of Brian was also deemed as offensive to many Christians but there were few protests and they got over it. |
Here's anotherone the 'Church' wants to ban. "Zeitgeist" google it watch it then let me know what you think.

A prophet produces a cult.
A cult produces a church.
Time and brainwashing(by the age of 6) produces a religion.

1 mans delusion is a delusion.
10 mens delusions is a religion.
no time for god, mohammed or who ever. religion is for the weak of mind and who wish to be controlled.
mind you a lot of muslims seem to go on murderous jihads in the name of mohammed.not so with the god variety.
mohammed must have been the angier of the 2. |

Neither Jeus nor Mohammed live in the 21st century.
We know very little about Jesus, who lived in 1st century, only a handful of accounts written well after the event so we dont know whether he was peaceful or even if he was a prophet.
Mohamed (7th century) was also a political leader and led battles against other tribes and attacked Mecca, so we know, as an individual, he wasnt all that peaceful really.
How people interpret their teachings and whether they use that to justify war and violence is so varied that it is impossible to compare. The Crusades were a violent interpretaion of Jesus teachings more than athousand years after his death. So it didnt matter whetherJesus was peaceful or not, the popes at that time were not and their crusaders waged war on their enemeies, whatever religion they were.
We might as well ask Who was More Agile? Buddha or Haile Selassie? |

Buddha, by a mile. Have you ever tried sitting in that position for days on end?

Just because Europe has become more secular, it is no reason for supposing Christianity is any less violent in reacting to perceived threats than Islam is.
The problem is religion, not any particular brand of religion; the more secular the society the less likely religious-based violence is to occur. Allow religion the upper hand and we're back to burning heretics and witches, not to mention Sharia Law. |
Religion gets a bad rep on the issue of violence. It is estimated that religion can be implicated as a cause in only 7% of the world's wars. I wonder if we shouldn't be looking more closely at the causes of the 93%... political ambition, greed, authoritarianism, colonialism, separatism, ethnic hatred etc. etc.
The fact is that Christianity does not advocate violence - far from it. Its central theme is 'love thy neighbour'. I have not read the Quran but I imagine it is not too disimilar on this issue. Whether one particular group of extremists decides to over react to something does not change this.

Well that post makes up for your last; to a fellow unionist too, still, perhaps you ought to consider your last bit of advice and apply it to yourself........ "phisician, heal thy self"? |
