As a Christian who thinks Islam is terrible, does that make me a bigot?

[Anonymous]

I don't think Muslims should be persecuted or anything like that. I just think that their religion is terrible. Maybe some people look at Christianity the same way?

Yes, you are a bigot! Bad, bad!

LOL. No, it's okay to think certain religions are horrible.

See results.

if we say that we are bigots. we should say what my pastor said 'i respect your faith but i want you to hear mine'

he will say 'i dont want to hear about 3 gods' me: good because only one.

'you have trinity. you can't fool me' me: see! you heard a trinity is 3. you need to hear what we believe.

I don't have a problem with religious belief itself. People can believe whatever they want. My problem is with ignorant people who radicalize religion.


In general, I have a very negative view of any form of religious extremism that puts religion before reason

No it makes you worse than scum.

Islam is simply a belief in One God. All the rest is commentary.

Christianity is various pagan beliefs bastardised by Paul, and a cult manufactured from it. Jesus was not Christian, neither was his mother or half-brothers.

How can you even tell the difference between Christianity and Islam? From here they seem about the same. Made up stories.

[Asker]

There are important differences. For Muslims, Muhammad is a prophet and Jesus is not God. For Christians, Jesus is God and Muhammad is not a prophet. They are like two different political ideologies. They are fundamentally just beliefs.

From here they seem about the same -- made-up stories.

Maybe, but so what? Everyone is bigoted towards something. You can't like something that doesn't align with your values. I feel it's no different than not liking broccli

I have zero issue with Muslims, I have huge problems with the ones that are part of radical Islam...

[strateguy632]

yes radical or extreme ones.

[jahaims]

Both are cults for people who can't cope with reality

[JazzieJanna]

I think islam is terrible

[fishbone77]

Who cares. You’re telling the truth.

[strateguy632]

true a real bigot is 'unreasonable' but for something like this... maybe it is not unreasonable.

[strateguy632]

online dictionary is insane. like a democrat must "stop adheres to their own opinions' and switch to republican in order not to be a bigot.
definition 2 is if unfairly dislikes. hmm.

[Anonymous]
