And this is precisely the BIG problem with that party and it's supporters.

I don't know how any honest person can say, they are absolutely equal in promoting violence.

So to me, 66% of Dems are not being honest with themselves if they seriously, deep in their hearts, truly believe, Christianity promotes equal violence as Islam.

And I tell ya precisely why this logic is so damn dishonest.

They should poll Dems if given a choice, would they CHOOSE to live in a Christian Theocracy or a Muslim Theocracy?

I bet nearly 100% Dems would choose Christian Theocracy over Muslim Theocracy.

And then I wanna ask why? But but but, Christianity is promoting just as much violence as Islam!

No, hysteria is jumping to all sorts of "solutions" when the evidence doesn't support the trumped up imminent danger.

Like the pretend WMDs. Or the murderous Muslim hoard.

Oh my. Even the NYT admitted that they found WMD in Iraq.

You do know that several servicemen were hurt by chemical WMDs, right?

But you forget what era those weapons were from that caused the casualties. From YOUR link

From 2004 to 2011, American and American-trained Iraqi troops repeatedly encountered, and on at least six occasions were wounded by, chemical weapons remaining from years earlier in Saddam Hussein’s rule.
In all, American troops secretly reported finding roughly 5,000 chemical warheads, shells or aviation bombs, according to interviews with dozens of participants, Iraqi and American officials, and heavily redacted intelligence documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act.

From the link at your link
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/12/03/world/middleeast/chemical-weapons-iraq-pentagon-secrets.html

During the Iraq war, at least 17 American service members and seven Iraqi police officers were exposed to aging chemical weapons abandoned years earlier.
These weapons were not part of an active arsenal. They were remnants from Iraq’s arms program in the 1980s during the Iran-Iraq war.
Many troops who were exposed received inadequate care. None of the veterans were enrolled in long-term health monitoring.
Munitions are unaccounted for in areas of Iraq now under control of ISIS.

Greta, if we lived in a Christian theocracy, strictly speaking, it wouldn't be that much different than Islam. Women must obey their husbands, and are not permitted to speak at all in church (so in a theocracy they wouldn't be able to speak in government, or hold any leadership position over a man whatsoever). Homosexuality is a total sin... so in a christian theocracy there would be punishment for it. In strict churches, drinking and dancing aren't allowed. Women are to dress modestly... their head should be covered in church. Premarital sex is a sin and would be punished. Etc... You should do some research on the Puritans. The difference between christianity and muslim (besides their belief for salvation) is that christianity says that the government and God are two separate things.

That would depend on which religion you were following. So just to clear things up, which one of the thousands of christian churches in the us are you referring to in your little rant? I have been to a whole shit load and I don't remember them preaching any of that. As to the differences between christian and muslim faith, again you are first going to have to define which ones you are speaking about and then try to find the differences.

What if, instead of being against Christians or Muslims or Buddhists or Hindus or Whatevers, you were against violence?

I've made the same point about the supposed Muslim hoard, but hysteria drowns out the point.
