I must confess, I like Christianity better than Islam. I know that makes me an Islamaphobe these days, but Islam is a real load of suckage, to put it mildly. At least with Christianity, you get a variety, and a history of tolerance among denominations and even among religions. There is an older history of intolerance, but since the Enlightenment the trend has been more openness and tolerance in Christianity in general.
Islam, though, even in its moderate forms, tends to be rather unpalatable to me. People ought to be free to practice it, don't get me wrong. I just wish it wouldn't become the majority. Come on christian Europeans! Get out there and make some babies!
Muslims soon to outnumber Christians in Europe?

Christianity is in decline. Nones are the fastest growing demographic at the moment in Europe. Even if Christians started pumping out more babies they'd mostly only be feeding the none demographic.
Libertarianism: The belief that out of all the terrible things governments can do, helping people is the absolute worst.

Kosher, halal, it's all the same to a crematorium. That's the end game.
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

It's one of the things that make the regressive lefties a big joke. Rip on religions in general, or "privileged" religions like Christianity -- just fine. Suggest that one religion is worse than others, or rip on a "marginalized" religion, and you're a phobe.

Christianity is just as bad as Islam, so saying fuck Islam three times is racist.

Re: Muslims soon to outnumber Christians in Europe?
Dead giveaway - Islamuphobe!
Not all Muslims are the same! You aren't the arbiter of the official codified version of Islam! Islam is as much about peace and love as the stereotyped versions you think are so bad!
That's just ugly and racist!
