Which religion works better in modern times. Christianity or Islam?

[QUOTE="BossPerson"][QUOTE="Ilovegames1992"]

Christianity lost its balls recently in history. Islam seems to have kept its morals and stubborness. Good for them.

Christianity just bends over and takes it up the arse now.

It's called context and understanding certain aspects and cultures at the time. For instance take the Constitution, it defines all men as free but yet the original document allowed slavery, surely you and several others look at the Constitution as the basis of where human rights come from, the value of the document. But surely you are against slavery, so how can this be if you believe in the Constitution then?

Context, see. Obvioulsy it was a different time period, it didn't make slavery right, it never was, but that doesn't change the fundamental values of the Constitution which is freedom. The Torah, The Bible, and Koran are the same way. The context and certain elements may not be right or only make sense within the context of that time and culture, but the fundamental values and message are still legit.

You've got the name right. Application has been sent in. Approval is pending. I figure if I can get the almighty on my side it might expedite the approval process.nocoolnamejim

[QUOTE="BossPerson"]yea this is something i dont like about modern religions. It;s not fair how they can become all 'modernized' and what not. If your Jewish or Christian or Muslim, by god you should be following that book to the bone, stone who needs to be stoned and behead who needs to be beheaded. You cant have it both ways. BossPerson

Well still felt it was worth explaining. I like talking to you, you're much more respectful when it comes to religious discussions than a lot of the posters here.

Christianity does, but it doesn't matter because the religion itself is still backwards, it's just the people are chaning what the religion actually is.

So people think that Christianity is losing its iage over time and Islam is not for better or worse? Indeed. However, that is mostly the U.S.'s fault, it's the main area where parts of the bible are being ignored or changed to allow certain things in (like homosexuals), while places like EU are more devoted religious, and have the Pope somewhere over there.FreddyJeffery

My favourite part of any post i've read in a while.

Pope recently did a tour of the UK as well.

Legend.

TC, if you're gonna make some sort of a statement, take a more direct approach.

[QUOTE="GazaAli"][QUOTE="BossPerson"]Darkman would make a great political analyst of commentator. Nobody could accuse him of bias since nobody knows what his real opinions are. His analyses are spot on though. BossPerson

I want a falafel :(

although that doesnt automatically equal appeasing Hamas.

It's just an acknwlodgement that its better to remove a threat instead of farming one.

I know mods are posters too, but i feel uneasy about a moderator, and representative of a site, being openly insulting and disrepespectful to a religion.

Not much of a comparison can be made between the two. I'm not trying to defend or attack any specific religion, but we all know which institutions normally get most of the bad press and are considered backwards. Seems to me the thread was trying to add fuel to that.

[QUOTE="FreddyJeffery"]What statement? The thread is in the forum of a question which has led to discussion. What is a direct question/FreddyJeffery

Not much of a comparison in the sense how unanimous the public opinion of your question will be.

Neither, they are both retarded and should have no place in modern society.

Neither of them, they're both as primitive and backwards as possible.
