--- Quote from: Red Spy on March 23, 2017, 04:56:04 PM ---The Bible and Qur'an have very different themes and large difference is that Islam is an extremely collectivist ideology while Christianity is more about living a better life. Islam hasn't gone through a reformation in 1,400 years and it's pretty obvious when you look at countries like Iran or Qatar. One still has slavery and the other is treating gays like roosterroaches. --- End quote --- There were post-reformation Christian societies that both held slaves and also persecuted gays. What now? |

Did Christianity have another reformation that I'm unaware of? It seems like you're implying that because Islam had no reformation, that's why certain Muslim-majority nations still have slave labor and persecute gays. But there were Christian-majority nations in history that did both of those things. Unless Christianity has changed dramatically since then, doesn't that undermine what you're saying? |
