There are stupid people everywhere. On both sides of the fence.
that was pretty much my original point, so i guess maybe we have actually gotten somewhere. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
And I challenge your notion of " many ".
maybe i am too cynical about the american population. i hope so...i don't think so, but i hope so.
You want to think that, fine. There are a lot of Christians here, that you have had many discussions with.
notice that i said "a not tiny number" rather than most or even many...because that is, at least in my experience, the truth.
i would agree that most christians are not so delusional...however, there are a number of them...and that number is not tiny (though it is also not huge)...who do hold the views i described. (i don't think many, if any, members of this forum hold these views, but this forum is definitely not representative of american society in general.)
(i have encountered a fair number of christians who think all athiests are evil personally...i came from a very christian background...and people like pat robertson could not afford to stay on TV if there were not a sufficient number of delusional christians sending him donations.)
The difference, imho, is that I do not expect maintstream Christians to somehow stop radical Christians from doing what they do (or thinking what they think) whereas you do seem to expect mainstream Muslims to somehow stop radical Muslims. But, I still do not understand what you think they can do about it?
