don't get distracted by my heaven vs hell comment. the jews who worshipped false idols had gold poured down their throats for not living the way their religion dictated. Blow down the walls of jericho. The canaanites. The Midians. us vs them. educate yourself.
Lack of political correctness is not ignorance. Political correctness in the face of reality is willful ignorance. And I'll take on all religions, for they are all based on false premises. But they go in order from most threatening to least threatening. Until Fred Phelps and his ilk start killing gays, then they are not high on my radar. pagans dancing naked around fairy circles? mildly entertaining. Priests molesting children, much bigger problem. But when you compare the reaction of christians to Andre Serrano's "Piss Christ" to the storm that overtook Europe when some muslim cartoons were published in a Danish newspaper, then you have to look closely at islam. Yale University Press self-censored for fear of violent reprisal in regards to their decision to not publish the cartoons in a discussion about the "controversy".
