Point being: you can't (as illogically as this sounds) judge a faith based solely on its religious text(s).
Most sensible people cherry pick from their religious texts and ignore things that violate the secular moral principles that are codified in laws to avoid running afoul of the society they live in. So, despite the bat-shit crazy stuff in their books, they generally behave themselves UNLESS put in a situation where they can get away with it, whereupon they start acting in accordance with their book eg Saudi Arabia, Iran etc.

If Evangelical Christians manage to turn their country into a Theocracy, I'm pretty sure we'd see stonings of adulterers and homosexuals in the streets of the USA.

But Merry Christmas anyway, I'll enjoy my completely secular holiday this week [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
