Radical Islam vs. Radical Christianity

[bisonbison]

All religion is dangerous and harmful.

If believing that helps you sleep at night, I guess I can't object... A lot of people think a lot of stupid things.

Not said by me but Rosie O'Donnell. To tell you the truth I really don't like Rosie at all but does she have a point here?

When radical christians are doing this then tell me they are just as dangerous. I recently found this movie through a radio talk show. I agree it is the most important movie or our time. Apparently Rosie has not seen it.

well, some analitics would tell you that inner enemy is always much more dangerous than outside enemy could ever be.
it can use more subtile maneuvers, it's not that easy recognizable, public support might be divided and it's much more difficult to get support against inner evil. it's much more manipulative.

so i disagree. i'd say radical christianity is much more threatening than radical islam could ever be for the USA. and vice versa of course. radical islam is much more threatening than radical christianity could ever be for muslim countries.

radical christianity can turn USA into a dark for longer period, while radical islam can't.

imagine flies attacking elephant. no big deal i guess althought very annoying, some might even bite. and now imagine virus in elephant's head. brain damage could paralyze him. but still, for elephant are much more annoying visible flies than virus.

all radical monsters in history came from beliefs of their own religion, not some foreign. they succesfully manipulated with their people, how superior they are against others, how they deserve and demand more, that they are those who should put the rules for the others behaviour. and most of times those mosters actualy believed their god is whispering them what to do (or sometimes even believed they are a god).

again, if disagree put it vice versa for better perspective. radical islam is much more threatening than radical christianity could ever be for muslim countries. or not?

I'll tell you:

Religion is not knowledge. The beliefs are not rational in the mind (consistent, connected to other knowledge, etc), nor are they transmitted rationally (like you would through scientific means).

So if it's not knowledge; what is it then, and how DOES it transmit?

Religious belief is a traumatic complex..

In psychology, psychological projection (or projection bias) is a defence mechanism in which one attributes ("projects") to others, one’s own unacceptable or unwanted thoughts or/and emotions. Projection reduces anxiety by allowing the expression of the unwanted subconscious impulses/desires without letting the ego recognize them.
