(1,339 posts)21. "The bible has been perverted by radicals too."<< NO, it is just "acceptable christians" ignore the
batshit crazy in it. "Acceptable Muslims" do too, except they are in the minority within the global Ummah. Numerically the "true believers" also need to be judged on a sliding scale of their adherence and batshit craziness, so not every hardcore homophobic Muslim, who beats his wife as well is to rise totally Taliban or ISIS in jihad level.
If you strictly adhere to the christian bible (like hundreds of millions of Muslims do with the Q'uran), then you get ultra violence, and stripping of massive amounts of human rights. It works for both religions. If you truly and literally interpret and live according to the "sacred" texts, you get barbarism.

Posts like this are a broad-brush blaming of religion, and tend to confuse the disease with symptom.
