ORIGINAL: Wayward5oul And yet if you were to tell me that I am not being a good Christian, I could show you passage after passage that supports my actions and my perceived salvation, despite the fact that I reject what these people practice. Who is right? My point is, we criticize Christians for being pro-life alot! Especially their stances against Abortion. People against Abortion are not limited to crazy radical Christians. America voted for a President, I remember during Al Gore versus Bush time, Bush promise to ban abortion too! The difference is, we get to keep railing and railing against people who wants to stop abortion. And in no way do Christians who aren't into pro-life feels like they are included in that. What is the difference? And why is it so different? Railing against Muslims and calling them out on their treatment of women? That makes the very same people who does it to Republicans and Christians, more unacceptable and have these people defend that, "It is not true! Not all Muslims are like that!" When I swear there are probably more Muslims in this world that mistreat women, than Christians who wants abortion banned. I mean when Christians are accused of wanting to ban abortion, no other Christians really bother to say, "It is not true, not all Christians are like that!" Because duh, we are not talking about the Christians who are not that way. We understand this when it comes to Christians. Why can't the same standard apply to Muslims? It's pretty much like, "Republicans are the party of racism, bigotry, blah blah blah", okay, but as a Republican supporter, I am not even bothered or worried to be associated with them, I stand by them proudly as my preferred party, because I know, I am not racist, neither am I a bigot. And I know my clear underlying reasons for everything I believe in. I believe Islam is not compatible with democracy. I believe Islam is not compatible with equality for woman. And maybe because the Republicans I met in real life are well traveled Republicans, not living in the US, maybe the Republicans I meet are often successful, smart, and articulate and well mannered and I always find them very gentlemanly and nice people, considering I'm a minority in their country that they are suppose to be against, and yet they speak strongly about alot of principles I agree with them with." Perhaps there is a large number of republican supporters in the US that I have never met that are psycho Christians in the south and female oppressors, like the ones you mentioned in your hometown. And if they were my reality, I would be railing against them, but we don't have Christians like that over here. Our problem are Muslims. That's what close to me, and that's what I interact with daily. Christians here equals mega churches, wealth, educated, and basically, they believe more about how believing in Jesus makes them rich, than care about pro-life and all the other stuffs. Church session is holding up your wallet to be blessed by Jesus. Like who cares about that shit. I see churches more like wealth management sessions especially around here, how to help each other get richer richer. Muslims however is where I see more female oppression, so my angst is more towards them. But they are less focus on wealth building, but more focus on piousness. Similar to the kind of Christians you have at your area. If I see an oppressed Christian, with that type of Christianity, I will also persuade her to leave IF she feels oppressed. IF she's happy with status quo. Great! Being into BDSM, being consensual is the most important rule of anything. If she's into it consensually, not my problem anymore. Focus on the ones who realise they are oppressed. And is frustrated about their situation and wants out. A super tightly controlled religious community, to a certain extent, many woman are brainwashed to accept what is happening to them is normal. If that mini Christian community, those women forever stay in their little towns within that little environment and not see how women of other communities live and the freedom they have to do anything and everything. They will never know their potential. End of the day, I support anything that gives woman choices. I know for a fact that Islam does not give woman choices AT ALL. Christianity really has no bible backing for nonsensical ruling like "no make up" and things like that, that is clearly made up stories by that Christian community within themselves. Islam has full Quran backing on dress code of woman and how apostasy is punishable by death.
