Thanks again guys, for proving my point for me.

Scrutinize, or even ridicule Christianity, get a pat on the back.

Scrutinize Judaism, get bashed over the head.

Spoken like a true "victim."

You can't fart around here without some (one) going on about whether God exists or not! I wonder who this is directed at, since I haven't "gone on about whether God exists or not." What I have done is draw attention to the skewed standards extant here. All the "farting around" g...

I'll make another appeal to ridicule here and mock you for extolling magical nonsense while simultaneously talking about what "stands" in the real world. This is too good to pass by as it gives me yet another opportunity to point out the hypocrisy, cowardice, or plain ignorance (I'm not c...

The past century, which just happens to be the most secular century in human history, in my humble opinion, was the most embarrassing, and indeed, the bloodiest and most tyrannical century in human history. i hate to state the obvious but there were some pretty fuggin bad centuries out there...

This "definition" of the term, "Christian" may be well suited for a rant, but little else. We need to speak with a certain level of precision when ...

"... christian traditions and themes are codified in law and custom ..." Here's a more recent development that cuts against your argument. This Orwellian law which "recognizes" that rabbinic, Talmudic law forms the "basis of civilized society ... upon which our great Nation was founded" was brought...
