for Illbay and his ilk to use this as an excuse for Christian bashing is vile.

I guess I'm of that "ilk" then. And, the next time somebody bashes Islam (or Buddhism or any other non-Christian religion) for the actions of a tiny minority of its followers, I expect to see you letting them have it with both barrels.

unfortunately, the muslims who want non-muslims dead are not a "tiny majority". And Buddhism is not a violent religion, so there goes your little theory.

I'm not bashing Christianity. I'm bashing that peculiar brand of pseudo-Christianity known as "charismatic" that relies upon demagogues and with "sheeple" congregations who can't act or think without leave from their overlords.

There are a GREAT MANY of these, and I gave some well-known examples. There are others I know of that won't appear in any newspaper column-space, but they are exactly like this.

Having lived in the "Bible Belt" all my forty-four years, I feel somewhat qualified to comment.

Didn't you read ANY of the replies to your first post on this thread? The two are not analogous situations.

You know nothing of Islam and apparently less of Christianity--hence your molasses-thick mental and moral confusion and absurd conflation of the two.
