Sorry, do you have conflicting religious beliefs?Is irony totally lost on you?
Hey, stupid...

The Old Testament covers the Jews, the New Testament covers Christianity.
There are New Testament verses specifically condemning gays and oppressing women.
I don't know how Pope Francis plans to get around 1st Corinthians 14:34-35.
You guys (phrodeau and RachelX)are side-tracking.
First of all, the thread topic wasn't about "is Christianity no better than Islam"?
It's about the double standards of some liberals.
That they're quick to villify Christians or Republicans who display certain bigotted ideas or behaviors. Yet when muslims display them: they either excuse those behaviors, or attack those who bring them to people's attention.
Moreover, you're trying to win the new argument that you createdby putting side by side passages from the Bible and from the Kuran. And you're biased in that, because you selectively choose snippets of text that serve your purpose and you don't put them into the context of the entire chapter either.
And this is semi-futile anyway.
Because, even if you're right: Christianity has oppressed women and so on in the past, it has largely undergone a process of reform to update it's teachings to the values of the 21st century.
Whereas Islam hasn only started that process of reform. Successful in certain muslim countries or groups from Western countries, less so in others.
Christianity and Islam are both as bad as each other. They have no place in the world as far as I'm concerned.
Everyone has double standards. It's human nature.
A bigot is a bigot no matter what religion or political trend he/she follows.
true but ONE is NEVER EVER CALLED THAT
Good point.Everyone has double standards. It's human nature.
Adding to that:Christianity and Islam are both as bad as each other.
