What Religion Do You Follow?

@pizzahut451:

I'm tired of this conversation, so I'l just adress some points quickly.

Atheism is intolerant, it claims all religions are wrong. see what i did there ???

Atheism means not beleiving in religions. When a religion teaches that it's the only right one, it's followers will try to eliminate all other religions (Christians have been very good at doing this).

And NO WHERE does jesus nor God say that other religions are evil, again, its just your hate speech, nothing more

It's hate speech that come from Christians, not me. Study about Christian's attitudes towards other religions throughout time.

Buddhism isnt real religion. Its a spiritual lifestyle

No, Buddhism is a religion.

Yes, because in countries like Germany, France, Sweden and Denmark, christians are very intolerant of muslim imigration minority there, despite their behaviour...Yup, thre is some hardcore extermination of muslims here...

That's thanks to secularism, not Christianity (not to mention that those countries are not particularly religious). And muslims are very little trusted in those countries FTR.

H SWEET MOTHER OF GOD, WHAT THE HELL HAVE I JUST READ??????????????? Spain stealing lands that belong to muslims? Are you fucking serious? I cant believe you just wrote that...

Maybe you should read your own links. And maybe you should educate yourself more on this subject. There was no Kingdom of Spain when the Moors came. There were Visigoths who ruled the Iberian Peninsula, and they were terrible rulers who lost the Peninsula due to theri incompetence. The Moors were not radicals, and were tolerant of Christians and Jews. They built the most civilized and advanced state of Medieval Europe, and without them and their preservation of knowledge (like works of tyhe Greek philosophers, plus their own studies in fields like mathematics, astrology or medicine) Christian Western Europe would've never had a Reneissance (Christians had given up on things like education and literacy and hygene). The only intolerant muslims weren't moors, but radical Islamic mercenaries they at one point had to hire from North Africa to protect themselves against the invading Chrisitans (they actually didn't have a good military force, as they were more interested in knowledge then warfare, which led to internal conflicts and the fragmentation of their empire).

By comparison the Spanish Christians led a campaign of ethnic clensing that wiped out the millions of muslim who lived in the Iberian Peninsula (deportions, forced conversion, and killing). The Moors never resorted to those things, as most people willingly converted to Islam when they invaded the Peninsula.

For more information watch the documentary When the Moors Ruled in Europe. I'll reccomend books to you if you want, when my Intercultural Communication teacher gives us our reading list (she's a devout Christian FTR, so she has no pro-muslim/anti-christian bias).

As for inquisition, you didnt provide any arguments there...

The Inquisition was itself a process of eliminating everything that Chrisitans though were dangerous to their beleif system (sects which they deemd as heretics, Jews, Muslims, witches etc.). If they didn't find these groups dangerous, why would they persecute them and attempt to wipe them out?
