re: #143 elbruce

Never claimed an equal record. I’m claiming a similarity of attitude in every respect that matters.

I’m not going to get into the “body count” game. Nobody ends up looking good in that one. If I pull up 100 horrific instances from religion A but 200 from religion B, what does that say? That religion A is good?

(except for them sneaky Buddhists…)

Please- you referred to the American religious right as some of ‘the nastiest elements of humanity’. Your words. You elevated the religious right.

As for your comparison remarks, they too are absurd. If you are so hell bent on talking about ‘nasty religious elements’, how about some prioritizing. There is an epidemic of rape in Africa as well as the perennial genocide- or is Christians and Jews only who offend you?
