I think your views and understanding of religions are pretty messed up. Have you ever looked up or heard about the Crusades? How about the wars being fought in Ireland? Some Christians are as violent as anybody else. Extremists and bad people from pretty much all religions twist the words and meaning of their respective holy texts to compel others to do their evil. The vast majority of all religious people are decent people who worship peacefully.
People are entitle to their various beliefs - no matter how ridiculous those beliefs sound to outsiders. They are not entitled to force those beliefs on others nor use violence against anyone with a different belief.
I was raised Christian (currently agnostic), but I know and have interacted with plenty of Muslims, Buddhists, Atheists and Agnostics as well as Christians - and they are all good, peaceful, law-abiding people. Anecdotal - I know - but it still proves my point. Its ridiculous to consider targeting all people that share a belief with any kind of sanctions, actions or restrictions - however, those people who encourage violence against others should be gathered up and shipped off the planet. There's no room for those types in my world.
From the tone of your last few posts, it sounds like you are a hater and your hate spreads much wider than it should.
These religious texts have been re-written multiple times since they were first published and my belief (which I'm entitled to) is that they have been modified to suit the desires of those in charge of the religion. I suspect that the content we see today is vastly different than what was originally written!
I would love to see all "organized" religion banned, dispersed, outlawed etc while leaving people free to worship in their own way and in a place of their choosing. "Organized religion" is the root of many of the worlds problems.
I believe that the Pope is on the top rung of the worlds largest pyramid scheme!!!
I think your post demonstrates your own lack of understanding of both the Bible, Quran as well as the USA constitution.
Although there have been several translations of the Bible and a couple versions of the Quran, the differences are minor and none affect the fundamental doctrines of either religion. I was only referring to the texts not the believers. There are many people who profess to be believers but have a perverted interpretation of the books. With respect to the Quran, the doctrine of killing of non- Muslims has never been in dispute.
The USA constitution does not allow for the banning religions.
Calling me a hater is pretty ihypocritical considering that you want to round up all religious people and eject them from the planet. I would not characterize myself as a hater, especially with respect to religion, but I do admit to hating liars and criminals which clearly includes ISIL.
Have you ever looked up or heard about the Crusades?
You mean the defensive response to centuries of genocide and slavery committed against Christians with the sole purpose of restoring the lands that had been stolen from them? Yeah, I’ve heard about the Crusades.

The vast majority of all Christians are decent people who worship peacefully. Islam is, definitionally, violence. There are no moderates.
From the tone of your last few posts, it sounds like you are a hater…
Every human being has the right to hate. Stop pretending otherwise.

What religious texts, exactly? Be specific.

That’s true, but it has nothing to do with Christianity.

You misinterpreted several of my statements pretty drastically. That makes me think that most of your other statements are based on the same sort of twisted interpretations - but nonetheless, I'm willing to agree to disagree and drop the topic.
For the record though - I didn't call you a hater. I said that from the tone of a few of your recent posts that it *seems* like you're a hater. I don't know how I demonstrated any kind of lack of understanding re the US constitution since I didn't mention anything about it... And where the hell did you get the idea that I wanted to eject "all religious people" from the planet??? I actually said they should be free to worship in their own way in a place of their choosing! LOL! Do you see how badly you misinterpreted my statements? The people I said should be ejected from the planet are "those that encourage violence against others" - and I apply that belief to ALL people - not religious people.
Anyhow - I'm done with this topic. There's very little that your opinion or my opinion can do to change any of these things. I've shared my opinion and that's enough for me. We weren't able to agree on anything here but perhaps we'll find some commonality in another thread - possibly the need for a longer lasting battery in the iPhone 8?
