Hatred of Judeo-Christianity

People should note the number of times Judeo-Christianity is attacked in the debates section. You would think that religious debates would encompass every religion represented in the world today. Sadly this isn't so. It represents the religious bigotry present in western society. If you mention the word 'religion', then only the Judeo-Christian religion is the only one usually associated. The mere title of this debate represents the willfully ignorant statements made by some only in the hope of fostering hatred towards adherents of Judeo-Christian beliefs. This is an example of the best they can do. Making slanderous remarks upon a subject they know nothing about. Let this be the monument to all of how it is for some that the lie, the deception, the slander is more preferred then the seeking of the truth. An unfortunate fact that has represented itself throughout the history of mankind.--Roopilots6 10:20, 16 August 2007 (EDT)

Given the fact that Judeo-Christianity has such a prominent position within Western society and that there is often conflict arising from literal interpretations of the Bible (evolution vs. creation to name one) this is an entirely appropriate debate to have, furthered by the unique nature of Christianity compared to other religions. If there was cause to debate the literal translation of the Quran (if a suicide bomber stated it was the motivation for his actions) then this too should be carried out, however given the vast differences betweent the Bible and the Quran these debates cannot be joined together. As for the arguments of either side, it is better to refute them by exploring their claims and considering where they are wrong rather than making unsubstantiated personal attacks, as the latter is a sign of liberal deceit EQ 10:31, 16 August 2007 (EDT)
