Which religion in your opinion is the worst? Islam or Christianity?

I think both are just as equally as bad as the other.

I will say Christianity. Remember that Catholics and Protestants were still killing each other in Northern Ireland in the 1970s.

Oh yeah.

There is no worse--they all have positives and negatives. We need to learn to respect our differences and quit trying to draw lines in the sand

Yes.

You only gave two. I agree they're two biggies but might I offer another? I would submit the cult of personality. Within the 20th century there has been a huge pile of bodies burned on the sacrificial fire of ideology. I am referring to the unholy trinity of Hitler, Stalin and Mao. To me, the substitution of state-ism for religion is mere semantics.

Well said

They're all terrible.

Yes.

The Nazis thought they were the chosen and exterminating the jews was just doing gods work.
In the americas the genocide of the natives was also out destiny as ordained by god.

And Christians continue to devalue people of color, behaving as if they are still "Masters"

Christianity. In my lifetime of experiences, they've been tje worse at lying, cheating..actually all of their "deadly sins"... Maybe it's because their " God" will forgive them... I have many Islamic friends and find them to be very loyal, honest, forthright, and giving of themselves.

Nice.

Worst? Define worst. They're both belief systems.

Google the word, "worst" and then worst will be defined. I'm too tired to type the definition out rn.

No difference, same meat different gravy.

Yep.

U mean worse not worst given a mere 2 choices, I think

At the moment I put Christianity as worse. The "fanatical" are so hyperfixated on demonizing all who don't do exactly as they do, they become worse than the things they are obsessed over ie; Sharia law....or those 2 Mom's in AZ teaching their kids religious hatred. Then there is the abhorrent behavior of abusing spouses and children while simultaneously demonizing GLBT and single parent households

I appreciate that we are all different and try hard to live and let live. I also, as a very mature person, try to live as good a life as I can and respect/help my fellow citizens BUT it is sometimes difficult! First brought up in the Catholic religion (via advice from a strict pair of paternal grandparents), then - due to WW2 - introduced to strict Chapel influences, I became a confused teenager. However, I have always been a thinker and curious about everything - disliking the 'sheep' concept -I started asking more questions.Oh, how disappointing...for I received, either NO answers.(Islam, where one does not ask questions AT ALL?!) And from the Catholic quarter, I was TOLD WHAT TO BELIEVE, and quickly realized it was a religion of fear
and subjugation. (You are even told what books NOT to read..) Being idealistic,at 18 I became a follower of the Jewish faith and married a good Jewish man. Now, decades later, we are both Humanists, while still respectful of the Jewish faith. Praying is a little like going to the Casino!
