    Your bigotry is a delusion.
    So you attack Christians just as equally as Muslims?

    It's not a delusion, I'm not denying any kind of reality. Reality doesn't assign values of good/bad to things, only a human mind can do that.

    Why would I? Christians have been beaten, they're impotent, they ignore most of their holy book and its tenets and are closer to Deists than actual Christians these days. Modernity has castrated their religion.

    Muslims have not been.

    What's the difference between posting an image and typing it all out, other than time spent typing?

    Also you really need to learn to quote, stop deleting the [/QUOTE] part.

    one fraction of one percent of muslims are terrorists. 1.7 billion of them live in peace.

    Still vastly more than for any other religion, and they cause a vastly disproportionate amount of violence.

    Also their social attitudes are completely outmoded. Most want Sharia law, and believe wives should be subservient to their husbands. About a third believe apostates should die.

    Yeah, I'll be a bigot against this kind of savagery all I want.

    Most Christians believe women should be subservient to their husbands and they bomb abortion clinics, and protest at soldier funerals, and deny rights to gays, and try to worm their religion into every aspect of government.

    You can have the whole lot of them

    That's not entirely true. The countries with the most Muslims are also countries who see a lot of violence, be it from the US (and other foreign powers) or radical Muslims.

    They may be peaceful but that doesn't equate to living in peace.

    That's why I attack both religions. As anyone can see my many posts doing so.

    The subservience thing I doubt highly, though I admittedly have no numbers on it. Abortion clinic bombings are so rare I can't even remember the last time it happened - but I can tell you the last time Muslims were terrorists - right now, in any number of countries (Syria, Somalia, Libya, etc). Only the Westboro Baptists protest funerals, most American Christians support gay marriage now, and most believe in the first amendment (which bars state religion). Not even comparable.

    They appeal to evangelists. Most American Christians are not hardcore evangelists.

    The GOP does not speak for them all, just ask the very religious black Democrats.

    The GOP represents half this country. Your argument is just not holding up

    And what does Hillary plan to do to change that? I know Trump has no plan, but what's hers? If it's similar to our involvement in Libya and Syria, then there's no plan to become peaceful.

    Yeah, not saying it can be. But Libya and Syria happened under Obama. Which when Hillary states she plans to continue Obama's legacy, then it is implied that she will continue our involvement in Syria, that does not a peaceful America make.

    Please. Plenty of people vote GOP on hot-button emotional issues, but a lot of their policies like their corporate shilling and their war-mongering is unpopular with Republicans as well - they simply care more about "muh abortion" or "muh guns" than everything else. Because people are stupid. Can't be helped.

    Bush destabilizes the entire region. If the choice is trump or Hillary then it has to be Hillary. Trump has never heard the word diplomacy

    The region was destabilized before Bush, he made it worse and so has Obama. And Hillary has implied that she will do no different.

    Your choice is Hillary or Trump. Trump does not even know the players involved. He is out of his league

    Nope, I'm going with neither at this point. Unless you can construct an argument in favor of Hillary that doesn't just involve "Trump is way worse" while I agree, Hillary is also far from a good choice.

    Sit on the sidelines then. If you are not a part of the process don't complain about the result

    So that's it then? You got no affirmative argument as to why Hillary is a good choice rather than just the least bad choice. I participated, and lost, now the rest of you can live with your choice, which apparently is indefensible.

    It's cool, I like it for its different takes but it's still kinda like the xy graph for the political spectrum.
