you caught me in the middle of an edit.
Yes, yes they are. Does the Old testament not hold the same esteem as the New?
The post seemed to imply (and maybe I read it wrong) that Islam was deserving of mockery because it called for the killing of non-believers. It also took a defensive stand with Christianity against that mockery. I was just trying to encourage the poster to apply the same standard across the board.
There are lots of finer points in lots of religions that we as whole ignore. Maybe because we know better, maybe because we've evolved while religion really hasn't. The point is, there are lots of nutball ideas on every side of the line and to use that idea as the basis of opinion on a pariticular religion is ignorant and lazy.
Now, I'm not calling anybody names, I just think that everybody (including myself) could stand to be a little more informed.
