   Should we be equally as critical of dislike or hate towards religious groups as we are against racial groups?

     @DavidBond True to a point, you certainly do have more control over your choice of religion. But religion, like culture, is something you are born into. The vast majority of people will adopt the culture and religion they are born into. Yes they can change, at least in theory, but in practice no one ever will. How much of this is their own fault and how much of it is just brain washing (to use a negative term) that was instilled at a young age and therefore largely out of their control.

     @Tayo For simplicity lets say Christian, Muslim and Jewish then.

     @snow Well to be fair it is very difficult to build up a good foreskin collection by simply asking nicely :)

     @Tayo So you think it is acceptable to attack certain religions (the ones you deem as trying to kill you) but not ok to attack the ones you dont classify as such?

     Wouldnt that just lead to the muslims being justified in hating the christians and the christians justified in hating the muslims if we use that criteria?

     @joaopinheiro I do agree but to play devils advocate how far does that go.

     What if the idea you hold is that Others should die if they dont beleive in your god. Should we be just as tolerant for that idea? presuming of course they arent acting on it (in which case there is no need for tolerance anymore as it goes beyond an idea)

     @namark

     Well said. I think I'd be accepting of any sincere and compassionate claim about race too, critique or otherwise, if it was considerate. Just as I might about religion. But as you say, when it is hateful thats where it crosses the line for me and is no longer acceptable.
