@Darth_Algar and @ragingloli I don’t recall saying that either Christianity or Judaism are all about happiness, cuddles, and rainbows. They’re both horrifying in their own way. But in a game of top trumps, Islam wins every time.
The vast majority of Christians believe in the New Covenant, which allows them to accept Jesus’ more hippie teachings, reject the disgusting teachings of the Old Testament, and ignore the more dubious ideas in the New Testament, without too much cognitive dissonance. It’s still not great, but at least they’re trying to match their archaic beliefs to somewhat modern ethics. Islam rather sets itself up in opposition to modern ethics.
I was careful to address the beliefs themselves, not the actions of followers. If I had any effect as a father, my progeny would act on the beliefs themselves, rather than in accordance with the behaviour of other believers. But @Darth_Algar since you bring up the violence aspect (which I have not yet mentioned on this thread, for good reason), I’ll suffice to say that for every abortion clinic shooting, there are a dozen suicide bombings, and for every Christian public bombing, there has been a deliberate massacre in the name of Islam.
