--- Quote from: Megatron on August 01, 2016, 12:08:33 AM ---My entire point is that the biggest problem right now is FEAR and over generalization. Yes, there are horrible people doing horrible things which they claim is in the name of their god, but that is a small minority compared to the actual number of people who adhere to that religion. It would be like if I started killing people because they don't go to Church every Sunday. It's taking ideas and turning them into radicalism.
But as for fear, if you don't believe me, just take any Donald Trump speech where he talks about Muslims, and replace the word Muslim with Jew...sound familiar?

Nope, it's completely different and a really lazy comparison. It's similar to the racism claim made by the left to try and turn hispanics against Trump. If you take what he said into context then he's clearly talking about the cartel and is not a bigot.
I really like how this gentleman lays it down: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Jz1Pn71kFs

You simply hate Christianity, there's no one
--- End quote ---
Would be a pretty strong hypocrite seeing as I'm a practicing Catholic. I just tend to look at things realistcly. Read my earlier points, Fritz. You don't seem to be grasping the concept here...people are killing others. Who gives a damn why? Whether it's god, money, sex or madness...people are killing other people. My entire point is to show that fearing one group of people because they might murder you is the same as saying you're prejudice/stereotyping. So no, I have no problems with Christians, or any group as a whole. I just have problems with those who commit heinous acts. And people too blinded by fear and hate to see that.

ALocking topic for a moment, and splitting it up.

Open again, but keep it civil.

"Fritz, you live in OC. An area that DEFINES the 1%. You don't matter. Your family doesn't matter. Your city doesn't matter. You are a right wing bigot who wants nothing but white supremacy and the upper class to rule the lower dullards. You're living in a Blue State"
I don't actually MEAN any of that, and sorry if I got a little rude with it, but that is what happens when you take ONE aspect of a person and associate them with an entire stereotype because of that ONE thing. It becomes this giant fabrication that is insulting and just wrong.
