Christianity

I have a local Methodist Church near my house, and I have to say the people who attend there are absolutely the nicest, kindest, and most understanding people I've ever met. Their whole life is dedicated to helping others. I don't get their religion, but I can totally respect them as good people.

And Muslims? They kill their daughters, ritually scar their sons, beat and rape their wives, and bring their shit caveman culture to all corners of the world, destroying everything in their path.

Christians are superior to those fucking sandnigger bums.

I think when discussing religion, each should be separated into religious philosophy and religious practice.

What i mean is that we should make a distinction between the philosophy espoused by the religious scripture and the people who have built a religion around that philosophy.

Like tao jia (taoist philosophy) and tao jio (taoist religion). The former is quite nice, whereas the latter some may call superstitious and crazy.

When we're speaking of Christian philosophy, there are many good values and morals that we can all learn from, and it has far fewer glaring moral points to attack, although the metaphysical aspects are clearly open for criticism.

However, it is sometimes difficult to separate the philosophy from the religion. For example, when paul wrote that gay sex was immoral, was it simply his own bias and prejudice masqueraded as Christianity, or is it a part of the core philosophy?

Anyway, looking only at the religious philosophy of the major world religions, i think the eastern religions (Hinduism, Buddhism, taoism, Jainism...) are especially interesting.

Of course you can criticize the acts of Buddhist monks or other eastern followers of the past (although even these are far less severe than their western counterparts), i dont think there is much to attack on morals and the way we should live our lives.
