I haven't seen a Christian video of a beheading yet. I haven't seen any Baptists hijack planes and fly them into buildings full of people. I haven't seen any Christians teaching their children to hate Muslims in our schools. You country is full of schools teaching the children of your nation to hate Christians and Jews. What are you doing about that? |
What i am doing is far more effective than your rants dear friend.
There is no doubt that muslim fundamentalism is far more dangerous today than christian fundamentalism. But that is not so much on account of the RELIGIONS, but rather the comparative level of development in christian nations. christian nations ARE ahead and as a result there is not so much frustration and anger for unscrupulous priests to exploit. It is a social issue.
HOWEVER this thread is about how religious indoctrination ESPECIALLY the sort that exhalts those who die for their religion is DANGEROUS. It is the EXACT same mentality that reigns in the madrassas. It is this mentality that allows unscrupulous terrorists like Osama to convince people to commit suicide.
I had many friends in my hostel indenmark who used to attend these sorts of camps. And it was lovely for them. They cam out of there with greater tolerance and understanding. However they were taught about local issues and personal belief. Never about the glory of dying for your belief.
The concept of martyrdom should not be propogated among children. How can you expect a child to understand the repercussions of such a choice?
I thank god that christianity has come so far that violence inthe name of religion is pretty much history. But would you like the childrenof the next generationto go BACK to that level.. just because some OTHER idiots do it? Love for all, Hatred for none |
