CreateDebate is a social debate community built around ideas, discussion and democracy.
If this is your first time checking out a debate, here are some quick tips to help get you started:
Arguments with the highest score are displayed first.
Argument replies (both in favor and in opposition) are displayed below the original argument.
To follow along, you may find it helpful to show and hide the replies displayed below each argument.
To vote for an argument, use these icons:
You have the power to cast exactly one vote (either up or down) for each argument.
Once you vote, the icon will become grayed out and the argument's score will change.
Yes, you can change your vote.
Debate scores, side scores and tag scores are automatically calculated by an algorithm that primarily takes argument scores into account.
All scores are updated in real-time.

When you are ready to voice your opinion, use the Add Argument button to create an argument.
If you would like to address an existing argument, use the Support and Dispute link within that argument to create a new reply.
Unlike other religions whose creeds teach violence against ''the infidel'', Christianity is sufficiently robust to withstand the ''sticks & stones'' of scoffers.
Insofar that the cowardly heathens and atheists know they have nothing to fear by way of violent reprisals they single out and victimize those of the Christian faith whom they deride with their religious hate crimes of jeering taunts.
Check out what happened to staff members at the satirical French Magazine CHARLIE HEBDO when they printed their usual sardonic lampooning about Islam.
When you're frightened that ridicule may highlight weaknesses in your religion you smother any potential criticism by means of mass murder and destruction.
There is a reason why the Left hates Christianity. They know in their hearts that it's the one true faith. God said he gave us all a conscience, and that we would know in our hearts when we do wrong.
The world hate's the one true faith that shines a light on their sins and selfish lives. The insecurity from non believers is amazing. They even refuse to admit how they support killing viable babies every time they vote for these radical pro abortion Democrats.
But in their hearts, they know it to be true. So they hate the messenger of the truth.
Do you not ridicule anyone with a different belief than you?
You can't bemoan the fact that some people are ridiculing Christians when some Christians go about doing the SAME thing to other people. If someone hates Christianity, that's on them. If you're firm in your own faith it really doesn't matter.
WHY IS CHRISTIANITY THE ONLY RELIGION THAT THE LEFT RIDICULES?
It's not. The reason it seems that way in the west is because it is the dominant religion among their political enemies. If you can't take that as an answer than gtfo and stop screaming at people through the internet like a fucking five year old. The world is more complicated than your pathetic little American Christian Conservative box and you are a clueless, belligerent sack of shit who needs to go read something other than the bible and watch something other than fox news before you open your retarded fucking mouth again.
I have answered you, you just don't want to address it.
Those on the left that ridicule Christianity do so to other religions as well. Have you been closing your eyes to the people on this site alone that ridicule EVERY religion and happen to be lefties?
I never see a debate created by the known Leftists on this site that ridicules Islam. The only time they mention it is when someone points out how they only ridicule Christianity. Then they say they do not support Islam as well.
Why is Christianity the only religion that the Left constantly ridicules?
It's not. The reason it seems that way in the west is because it is the dominant religion among their political enemies. Take it from me, a left winger. I hate religion in general, in and of itself.
It is of course the case that scoffing at Christianity and it's followers is not exclusively restricted to those on the left of the political spectrum.
It is however a fact that most antagonistic sneering at the faithful of any religion is predominately directed towards Christianity.
Ask yourself this, and answer honestly, if you ( and I know that you wouldn't, but please go along with me on this) decided to publicly denounce either Christianity in Christendom or Islam in ''Muslimdom'' ( made up word) as nonsense, which option would you run with, or should I say run from?
I, Mint-tea, showing proper name and address details, hereby declare that the scriptures contained in the holy book of the ????? or the????? are a complete load of laughable, superstitious hocus pocus gobbledygook,.
Firstly we're not playing games here, we're debating a topic introduced on a debating forum.
So, I'm afraid you're missing the point here and have side stepped the question which was addressed to Mint-tea but to which you replied
Assuming that your assertion is correct ( although globally the Christian and Muslim faiths have a collective following of around 4 billion) which of the two religions would you put your name to when denouncing as ''nonsense'' openly, in a public place which had a few hundred ardent Islam and Christian followers?

Well, if you can't make a choice here you must have terrible difficulty trying to make everyday decisions.
For instance, when people with your dysfunctional personality disorder condition cannot decide whether they need to pish or have a shit they just shit themselves and pee all over the floor.
Do you find this socially unacceptable D,P.D., induced habit embarrassing?
Rhetorical question there, as we both know;- YOU CAN'T MAKE YOUR MIND UP.
Let me make sure what you're asking. Are you asking how I would publicly denounce Christianity?
He is trying to make the point that denouncing Islam is taboo on the left whereas the left isn't afraid to denounce Christianity. It's an incredibly stupid point because there are left wingers who are not afraid to denounce it such as myself and the actual Muslim countries where it is most taboo are distinctly right wing. His "point" can only exist under the false pretenses that mainstream left wing politics in the west represents the whole of the left globally, and that there aren't right wingers who hate Christians and left wingers who hate Muslims.
FORGET ABOUT LEFT AND RIGHT POLITICS. INDEED FORGET ABOUT POLITICS ALTOGETHER Okay try really hard to do that.
Here are the options;-
1) Denounce Islam as you have so bravely and explicitly done here within the anonymity this site provides, in person and in front of a congregation of devout Muslims, or;-
2) Condemn Christianity to a gathering of God-fearing, devoted Christians.
If you are incapable of understanding the question try yodeling up the canyon or some other activity more commensurate with your arrested intellect. Thank you.
Hypothetically, you're in a position whereby you must, in person, denounce either, A) Christianity in front of a few hundred devout Christians or, B) condemn Islam to a large audience of staunch Muslims.
In this hypothetical situation it would be easier and better to denounce a religion then condemn it. If the options were reversed and I had to condemn Christianity in front of devout Christians or denounce the Muslim religion, I would choose to denounce the Muslim religion.
Forget about the semantics. The difference between denounce and condemn is academic in the context of the question.
So, you would prefer to stand in front of a meeting of a few hundred dedicated Muslims and denounce their faith rather than disparage Christianity in front of a group of devout Christians.
They know in their hearts that it's the one true faith.
There are thousands of religions, all of which are just as stupid as the next and all of which claim to be the truth, but one stupid body of baseless superstitions can be automatically identified as the "one true faith" based on what exactly? I think a much more likely explanation is that you are a pretentious cretin who has prematurely decided that your way is the one true way without knowing jack shit about the other ways of thinking which you assume are all wrong simply because they aren't your way.
I will respond one time to the fool who creates non stop fake accounts.
The point to any intelligent debater is that Christianity is the one religon that the Left's speaks out against. The Left gives all the other religions a pass!
There is a reason for this, but vulgar childish fools like you have no clue.

Any intelligent debater would have realized that I already addressed this incredibly stupid point. One of your many problems is that you don't listen.

I agree with you about this. I just wish you could put across a point of view without using it as a bat to attack someone else.
I'm a "lefty". I have nothing against Christian prayers, nothing against Muslim Prayers, nothing against Mormon Prayers … or anyone else' prayers. That's what 99.9999% (est.) of "lefty's" feel. There are just as many "Christians" on the left as on the right, just not as "radical" for the most part. Most "blacks" and Hispanics are far more devout than white Christians … many of whom attach themselves to the right!
The only time most "lefty's" object to "thoughts and prayers" is when the right uses the term as a cure all for mass shootings and other right wing "hobbies", while doing NOTHING to solve the problems …. except think and pray about them. They have thought and prayed many times, and what has been the result? Well, just the need for MORE thoughts and prayers! If it helped I would pray! It seems when we do we are talking to ourselves! The right mocks common sense regulation and looking into ones right AND deserving to own or carry a gun. That makes THEM the "mockers of prayer" because they KNOW it doesn't work! If they ever heard "God helps those who help themselves" …. they are mocking it! :-(
Dummy you have no idea whats going on but you are a Good Mental Midget for The Party.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Monday that the House will consider legislation in the coming weeks to repeal the Trump administration's travel ban on several predominantly Muslim countries (1-27-2020)
So you Democrats do not support religion. Is that right there idiot.
