4. It happens.... a LOT.

I'd think anyone a fool if they are actually suggesting that this doesn't ever happen, Especially in America. There are more radical ( yeah there's that word again) christian evangelicals than ever showing up outside of entertainment events hollering thier "JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY REPENT" crap. Brandishing signs, accusing everyone coming and going of every sin they can list on their silly signs. I recently went to Dave Chappelle's stage show and these kooks were out there pushing their holier than thou noise in everyone's faces, waving bibles tauntingly, the whole fire and brimstone indignation. They even had made street sign toppers that said "Retribution Way", I think I was probably the only one to notice it ( I think that could be illegal actually). I... like most in line with me, laughed at them heartily, but some people can actually be intimidated/shamed and leave because of it, and that is wrong.


I've also seen them at just about any rock band, or secular comedian, or anything they don't think is wholesome. Let's not even mention Westboro Baptist Church and all their hate crimes in the name of "god". I know some people like think these some of these same kinds of behavior aren't happening with evangelical radical Islamic groups in Europe, but they are, they so are, and there's plenty of video proof of it all over the internet, all but few clicks on google will most certainly reveal from multiple sources.

Another point that needs to be made clear is that a Religion IS NOT a Race, that is a False Equivocation fallacy. So I'm sorry but no one gets to use the race card on it anymore to dishonestly accuse someone of being racist for pointing it out. There is definitely a difference between a radical and common practitioner in any religion if anyone likes to think so or not. Cosmicone has it spot on above with this:

"The problem comes from some people believing that their way is superior, other people's ways are inferior and the other people should be forced to believe as they do".


As long as that sort of mentality is allowed to persist in humanity no progress will ever be made towards any kind of peace.
