Happy Ramadan Everyone!!

[Jmac00]

I have a good friend that is Muslim, I respect his faith and devotion. You guys busting balls about Ramadan...how is their fasting and ritual any different than the stupid catholic cult's fasting during Lent and other silly religious holidays? Painting everybody with a very broad brush seems pretty bigoted and ignorant....just sayin.

Just .02 from a skeptical agnostic.

Cult, how dare you call Catholics a cult, there a ~~~~ a ~~~~a Ok fuckit their a cult, BUT, they are, the largest cult on the planet.

Yep, the CO* forced me to a Catholic service ONCE, they all repeat the exact same thing, every time and on que,
I believe in God and Jesus, just not the church.


*CO = Commanding officer, or Captain Obvious, depending on the situation

I survived 12 years of catholic school, I feel I'm qualified to call catholics the catholic religion stupid. (I also have an irrational fear of nuns)

I went to Catholic School from kindergarten through 8th grade.

Your fear of nuns is not irrational.

Hmmm...so the Inquisition wasn't a thing, eh?

It was a thing a few hundred years ago. I don't see any contemporary violent catholic movements. Muslim on the other hand....

I bet Salman Rushdie might have a few things to say.

Hmmm...so the Inquisition wasn't a thing, eh?

It got better...

Seriously though, in many parts of the world Islam is today where Christianity was 500 years ago.

They'll grow out of it, in some places they already have. But, they are *very* susceptible to getting whole countries taken over by essentially cult leaders.

Iran and Afghanistan were thriving modern Islamic countries in the 60s. Then a few cult like leaders got some power and now they have morality police who will stone women to death for showing too much ankle.

Christianity seems to have evolved beyond that, cult leaders just can't get traction beyond a few hundred vulnerable individuals.

OFC, the west now has the religion of Leftism.

Leftism denies that it's a religion, but it's got all the worst parts of one.

I could seriously see Christians, Muslims, and non religious conservatives having to ally together to defeat the leftists.

Moderate Muslims, like Latino Christians, are a natural ally for conservatives of all sorts. We mostly agree on all the important stuff.

The problem is that today the left and the Muslims have formed some bizarre unholy alliance despite the fact that their ideologies are diametrically opposed.

Maybe we should start sponsoring "cultural exchanges" where we send young leftists to study abroad in Gaza. Be interesting to see how their pronouns are received there...

Well, if you don't like it (Muslim Bashing) then too bad. This side of the world is Christian so get over it. There's no need to cowtie to the 1% of the pop any more than it is necessary to do it for the 4% or 13%...

And yeah, I haven't read lately about Catholics storming Mosques and killing Muslims but this happens very often in the Muslim world, try using News Media not from here in the U.S. as there was a recent event in Egypt not too long ago! So FUCK THEM... Couldn't give 2 shits about abrading their feelings! I remember the motherfuckers dancing downtown after 9-11 and elsewhere... But I've never met one who had the balls one on one to profess their hate an anger towards an American! Like most sheeple, they hide behind others and only act in concert.

I'm Archie bunker... I hate everyone equally, but yeah, maybe just a stick more towards those who hate me!

I'm a 9-11 WTC survivor, so maybe there's that too!

I will NEVER forget, or FORGIVE!

Funny you say this and yes it was true but that seems to be changing quickly. There seems to be tons of pro-Palestine and pro Hamas crap going on in this country. Its so bad to the extent that Biden changed his idea and support for Israel.

When you conduct your religious service in a language none of the congregation understands....

^ This!!!

 

[Nevar]

all I needed to Understand about Iz-slam I learned on 9 1 1
So burning babies alive
Raping Females 70+ times
13 year old hostage girl impregnated
3000 innocent Americans murdered
All that is ok, but don't say anything negative about the human garbage that did it. Fuck them

 

[fresch]

How about that religion where we come from a mud puddle hit by lightning.
You know where nothing created everything.

 

[Grimscale]

I don't see any contemporary violent catholic movements.

Then I strongly recommend you NOT go look at Gab.
The owner/creator of Gab has said in his posts that he feels everyone should be converted to christianity at swordpoint, and that unbelievers should be culled. Yu can also see the worst dregs of christianity on full display there being insulting toward just about everyone else, but with what appears to be special hatred of non-whites and jews.

I've yet to see an Abrahamic religion that is NOT violent.

You may have people, like friends or local clergy, who actually believe in the concept of "live and let live" or the 1st Amendment... People who have true faith but realize that not everyone shares it...
People like this I have a lot of respect for.
But most of the leaders are not that accepting or courteous. if those people decide to choose violence then they had better not be surprised at what they receive.

There are extremity’s in every walk of life, faith, and everywhere. Most of my friends are from my church at this point and none of them have these views and to my knowledge the leaders of my church locally, nationally, or regionally do not either.
Yea there was the crusades and some probably still believe in that sort of thing but because one wacko says that doesn’t mean they all are and you even say that in your post.
The problem is now the extremes are glorified. The bad people are the right are made more public, the 5-10% that are lgbtqa are made more public. The left and the media hate the Christian faith so this wacko will be made more visible. We need to fight this and yes I made commoners on the Muslim religion as many others did. There’s plenty of fine Muslims and right now with all the conflicts the bad ones are being highlighted.

Maybe a generalization, but I don't they were catholic men that prefer the latin mass.
