I think a lot of it has to do with the way the Christians themselves show hatred toward anybody different from them. IMHO, I mean did they not burn so called "witches" at the stake just because they would not convert or drive them off their land if they would not convert? They are a hateful and hypocritical religion, they hate gays, they think women should be submissive, Granted not to the degree the Muslims do, but to a degree they do devalue women, they hate anybody who's had an abortion regardless of the circumstances, they hate anybody who beleives in freedom without restraint(I'm talkin sexual freedom, yes), There really isn't too much they are tolerant of. As a matter of fact they will sit and say "Love thy neighbor" and in the same breath pray for that neighbor to lose his home, if he is gay, or a single mother, or a person whos had an abortion...that's hipocracy. At least other religions will just come right out and say we hate you but we'll tolerate you, because you have the right to what you think is living right.

Absolutely I equate them together two sides of the same coin...christianity/muslim/islam...but the eastern(Asian) religions are very much more tolerant like buddhism, taoism, hinduism isn't too bad, it could use some work, because they still devalue women also, make them subservant, etc. At least they don't attackothers and kill them like Islam/christian religions have.

i agree on the eastern religions too. in fact it's debatable whether eastern religions are religions at all or just spirituality, though Buddhism has some dogma attached to it (ie the Dalai Lama).

i think the "sky-father" religions also devalue men in a way as well, as they deny men the ability to express their emotions, especially towards other men and their children. it's not ONLY women they oppress.

I'm from the US bro-

I'm actually surprised that you took my statements as being anti-american or something. I was exclusively speaking of christianity, american-style christianity to be precise.

I have traveled and lived abroad extensively however, and believe that I have observed stark differences in the way christianity is practiced in America as opposed to other places in the world.

That's a good point! I never even thought of that. Although I don't know what "sky father" religions are, but a lot of religions do teach men they have to be strong, show no emotion, and such!
