Religion is Morally Neutral
You are not Morally Superior.

The best analogy I can think of when it comes to religion – no matter whether it is Christianity, Islam, Judaism or Pagan is that it is like a knife – when the knife is used to cut sandwiches, the knife is a good thing, but when that very same knife is used to stab someone in the stomach, it is a bad thing – a very bad thing.
The problem with religion is that anyone can wield the knife, and it is up to them to make sandwiches or stab people in the stomach. As a non-religious person, I have to tell you, my only ideals are about making sandwiches, and it hurts me to see theses so called peace and love advocating ‘Christians’ all too eager to play the blame game and declare that the other religion is worse than theirs. It amazes me that some people are daft enough to blame a whole religion on the actions of a select few.
Christians point the finger toward Muslims, because it makes them feel better about their ‘little’ hate crimes. No one denies there are bad Muslims in this world, if they did, they would be blind – yet by the same token – to hypothesise that there are no Christians as evil as these ‘non-terrorist’ Muslims is farcical.
I remember in 2002 when a couple of lesbians had their house burnt down by someone professing to be acting on God’s behalf – hopefully the saner Christians could see this as the hate crime it was, yet it startles me that this basic human trait of common sense is reported to have alluded those of Islam faith. I also remember reading this article – based on a basic human rights crime, in the glorious United States of America, by a ‘God Fearing Christian’ who beat and tortured his young son – please – no one try and tell me that all Christians are good people.
We know about Christians turning on each other in Ireland, and we know about Sunny and Shi’ite Muslims fighting each other in the Middle East, there are bad people in this world no matter what religion they attach themselves to, and to see the bigoted attitude constantly on display from self righteous ‘Christians’ who claim that they are better just because they follow Jesus rather than Mohammed – well, that makes me sick.
The only beneficiary of such an attitude is Satan – I don’t care what religion you are, but inciting hatred by saying this religion did that, or the other religion does this, well, collectively as a human race, it doesn’t get us anywhere.
When ‘Christians’ or ‘Muslims’ act on behalf of their religion, it’s up to their personal integrity as to whether they use the knife for making a sandwich or stabbing in the guts – when people write articles slamming the acts of people based on religion – rather than slamming the people themselves, they are stabbing away happily, and I hate to report, but the Christians are just as adept at stabbing as Muslims… practice a little homemaking, and I think we will all be a little better off.
BAM!!!
