You see the statistics, and you still have a hard time accepting them. <br /><br />You try to throw my argument off base by criticizing my evidence. Yet, you do not hold yourself accountable for your own arguments! Did you look at the link I posted? They have cited all work, given the names of the people who conducted the polls, and there are even phone numbers. <br /><br />You of course will not believe my biased view, so please, take your own eyes to the website and review the research yourself.

Would YOU vote for a non-violent radical who never spoke English, was not an American citizen, was anti-love-of-wealth, anti-public prayer, who never even mentioned abortion, was never anti-gay, never called the poor lazy, never fought for tax cuts for the richest, never asked a leper to "co-pay", and was a long-haired, brown-skinned, homeless, un-armed, community organizing, Palestinian Jew?Briannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20524196.post-26768185920303634312015-12-25T18:19:59.814-05:002015-12-25T18:19:59.814-05:00While Tom maintains his fantasy that Christianity ...While Tom maintains his fantasy that Christianity is peaceful and Islam is violent, consider what the Washington Post had to say:<br /><br />"Professor Juan Cole casually estimates that Christians chalked up roughly 50 times more violent deaths than Muslims across the past century. <br /><br />Christianity can keep up with anybody in the murder contest. You can still find Christians today who will passionately defend the slaughters of the Medieval Crusades. You can use Christianity to kill abortion doctors, massacre Muslims in Bosnia or Kosovo, or launch a preemptive war. Jesus is more flexible than some people might think.<br /><br />The most violent religion on Earth is any that have people in them. Those who are trying to win elections or ratings by telling us scary Muslim stories are playing a dangerous game. They are calling into question the basic humanity of others, making it easier for us to tolerate their persecution. They’ll get as far as our ignorance and cowardice will allow.<br /><br />No matter what a religion teaches, some bloody-minded believers will twist it to justify their own dark urges. Religion does what people tell it to do. There is a clear connection between religion and violence – human beings."<br /><br />Merry Christmas to all, and may all live in peace!<br /><br />Yes, that dream may be ridiculed by some, but isn't it really the Christmas spirit - to hope and dream for better? <br /><br />Imagine the Scrooge who would laugh and scoff at the idea of coexisting as we celebrate this Christmas season.<br />Briannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20524196.post-31018553327497868912015-12-23T17:28:23.134-05:002015-12-23T17:28:23.134-05:00Oh,a FEW of them "stuck".
