ISIS would agree there shouldn't be Christians on RallyPoint. Is it right to strike one religion for the sins of another?

I am Christian. There are numerous churches and other religions that I do not like. I will not force you to listen to me about my experience or my faith. Those that do aren't working on faith. Violence comes from man, sometimes they use religion as a political tool to gain support. The saying goes, "seek and ye shall find" not submit or die.

In regards to your question.
It is not right to strike out at another religion due to supposed sins of that religion.
Unfortunately, most religions do. I'm not against people's belief in God, but if it gives you a feeling of superiority, well then it's a problem. Being righteous and humble are great things, being self-righteous and shoving it down someone's throat isn't.
ISIS wraps itself in the Quran while killing indiscriminately. Christian or Muslim, they don't care. They will be stopped.
Those of you who condemn the Muslim faith have forgotten that we as Americans have fought for religious freedom, not just Christian freedom, but all religions.
Less you forget, the original settlers of America came here because they were persecuted in England. Funny how in our zeal to promote our faith, we forget that....

This poll headline, like so many of other articles/polls posted here, is obviously biased toward chrisitans.
I would not say christians shouldn't be welcome here, but the religion itself, as well as any other religion shouldn't be welcome here. It seems some of the admin of RP have decided to use this forum as their own personal pulpit; Their tool for proselytizing.
It's obvious to me this forum isn't about serving veterans and service members, it's about pushing christianity onto service members.
I'm starting to wonder who funds this forum... Is it funded by the government, or by a big business, or possibly by a church.... It's an interesting question.

Religions can't be bad. Religions are made by people. People can be bad and then use the "authority" of religion to do bad things to other people for personal reasons.

Why is this click bait shit on the site? Isis doesn't give a shit if Xtians are on rally point as much as Muslims are. This is such a devisive topic that it will cause problems. This article should be removed

Cpl Ryan Presson thank you for your opinion. The point is to expose how intolerance cuts both ways. I seek not to divide and in no way have I advocated such. I have respected disagreement. What I ask is do you not see extreme views on all sides. If so can you see the problem with any extreme view that leads to intolerance. I thought carefully about this topic.
God Bless You and may his love shine upon you.

Religion is fine to a point - Islam has its issues, Christianity has its issues, Wiccan has its issues, the list goes on. The problem arises when these centuries old religions are interpreted differently and used against other religions and people. The radical Christians of old had issues with interpretation (some would say they still do from time to time - Is it really ok to be judgmental of a person's chosen religion if your own religion specifically tells you not to judge others?)...radical Islamists have issues with interpretation (is it really ok to be stupid and wage a 'holy war' when in fact there is nothing holy about it?)...Wiccan is just weird...
So I say, To each their own, but if you go radical and start chopping heads off innocent people, expect your religion to be chewed up and spit out. If you start killing in the name of your religion, then you have a short-circuit that needs fixing (now if we can just get a president that is willing to actually lead that...).
History would show that, unfortunately, Islam has had numerous people with a disconnected wire since the beginning of recorded time...and frankly, I am an amoeba in this regard (and maybe biased), there is no answer but to unleash JTAC's on the stupid ones and see what happens...

I view religion as sometimes harmful usually harmless but definitely outdated construct. However I also believe in freedom and choice, and so as long as the rights of others aren't infringed by your pursuit of your religions tenets, we can get along just fine. By all means display it in public, but keep it out of government, keep it out of policy, and keep it out of schools.
