Though both Islam and Christianity have much the same problem in my eyes (the followers ignoring the parts that make religion good)....only one of them has taken it to the point of killing people en mass as a result.

Witch burnings, crusades, ethnic cleansing?

I was referring to current times.

You didn't specify. Also the ethnic cleansing is happening right now. In fact the House had a meeting with a Russian/Ugandan delegation to learn their secrets yesterday. ;)

If Muslims stop killing people and reform the Koran (and themselves) they would not be bothered by anyone. It is THEIR loony Koran and its hostility toward non-Muslims that is the cause of any problems they have.

The Quran isn't any less bloody than the Bible, it's just that the crazies get the press. Christianity wouldn't have such positive view if only extremists ever got on the news and groups like the KKK and Golden Dawn ran a country or 2. As it is, only Ethiopia and the Vatican have a major Christian theme to their governance and nether haven't done anything crazy (of the terrorism variety) and it's usually the Red Cross, Salvation army, etc. you hear on the news.

I think you meant to say >> The Quran isn't any MORE bloody than the Bible. Well, if one is discussing what's bloody, I guess the real comparison is between the history of Muslim conquest, and the barbarity of medieval Christianity. In doing so, there IS NO comparison. Islam's horrific record of 270 million people killed (and still happening) simply has nothing even close to it. No religion, nation, ideology or cult.

Back up that number and don't resort to counting 1,000 years of history to come up with it. ;) Christians have killed millions in just the last 100 years.

What is the body count for Christianity?

That's a hilariously irrelevant graph.

Not Christianity.

"Bring my enemies before me so that I may kill them." Jesus

"I do not bring peace but the sword."

Then there is the rioting in the Holy of Holies, the turning over of tables while chasing people with a whip, and the promise of death and destruction on a scale never before seen during the Tribulation and War of the Apocalypse... Religion of peace my ass, at least with the Muslims hell isn't forever.

Im surprised you revealed your dishonesty so soon. That scripture you quote is from a story Jesus is telling about a king. Jesus did not give that order to anyone. You've established yourself as not credible. That didn't take long.

If Christians can take all the love and peace out of context to hide the death and destruction, I can take the death and destruction out of context to hide the love and peace. YOU reviled YOUR dishonesty on this subject with that "Not Christianity." BS. What's is it about a plank and eyes?

Anyone that claims a stone age religion (no matter which religion) isn't bloody has a serious misunderstanding of theology.

Right. The only blood in the bible pertaining to Christianity is the blood of Jesus. You keep on this topic and you're gonna be looking very stupid. But, please go ahead.
