Christians are defined by those who don't practice what they preach, not by the majority that does.
Islams are defined as terrorists, when it may be one of the most loving religions out there.
Atheists are thought of as unkind hopeless people, when most of the ones are know are really nice, brutally honest people.

Triforce good point, but I'm still saying that's a small minority compared to the overall population.

It's true. The world should just realize that extremists of all kinds are dangerous, because anyone really extreme is by fault close-minded to change or diversity, and when people are in that state they are not able to improve themselves, and proving their point becomes the most important thing in their lives.

Well, why do they - as you just did it yourself. I don't generalize I ALWAYS say radical Muslims and peaceful ones as in the ones protesting inside Iran against the regime. The only ones I group together are the New Yr. 07 anti-Xtian clones that seem to have flooded the R&S section and all sound alike.

It's a straw-man argument. If you portray a group by its worst representatives, it's easier to attack someone's beliefs because you can pretend they share the same angle.
Side note: If Gary has invested so much thought into his own beliefs, why can't he found new ways to express them?

Well, it never occurred to tyou that the Aztecs and Mayans were wiped out because of christianity, as well as slavery of the Africans and the murdering of millions of Jewish men and women and children, and Native Americans... and if it did, then you ignored it.
Why should I follow that which has a bloody past?

i dont know about others but, islam has been always suppoting terrorism, even though most are not involved in terrorism.
How did you compare terrorist behaviour of islam to christians not practicing faith.
not practicing faith is personal issue, supporing terrorism is not personal but inhumane.

Evolutionists are thought of as deluded religious bigots and rightfully so....
Evolutionist are always looking for a way to convince themselves of foolish things in spite of evidence to the contrary.
Evolutionists invent all sorts of things as they go
along.....everytime something doesn't work out right they invent another theory to keep it current with the latest discovers which keep invalidating their last assumption....it is really laughable

In general, it's easier.
And many people are too lazy to think too much.
