Lumping "Christianity and Islam" reminds me of the craziness that passes as intellectualism on hacker news. "Mother Theresa and Hitler" believe in concentrations camps...come on? Maybe one more than the other?

At the very minimum, you should take a world religion class if you want to be taken seriously???

I don't need to take a "world religion class" to know how incredibly retarded the religion I grew up in is.

And your post is for sure a shining example of "intellectualism".

You grew up in both?

Or just like grouping two beliefs with about half the worlds population together?

Google says there are 2.2 Billion practicing Christians and 1.8 Billion practicing Islam.

How many Billion people are you referring to when you use the word "retarded"?

I group them together as the biggest MLM schemes in the world which sounds pretty much correct according to your own numbers

They are grouped together by size and by the fact they both prey on children as their main recruitment targets

Do you think "christanity and islam" should never be together in a sentence just because they differ in some aspects that are irrelevant to this conversation?
