Personally I think they should be responsible for themselves but can understand them not wanting their money to be used in what they consider a muder. Unlike their muslim counterpart they are not trying to tell a woman she can't date, drive, who to marry, how to dress, where they can go and who they can talk to. They also don't kill their daughters to preserve their honor and certainly don't circumcise their little girls. Though some Christians admittedly do insist on marrying a virgin.
But yea I see how you think they are similar  |
You didn't understand what I said. Again.
My comparison was that I think all religions put strange controls on their adherents, and some in all religions use their religion to treat women poorly.
My comparison
was not that I think what some Muslims and what some Christians do are similar or equal in "badness", it
was not a comparison of relative requirements between two different religions.

I assume you are aware that millions and millions and millions of Muslims do not do that? That much of what you list is extreme and not followed by the majority? That what you list is not representative of most of Islam?
And Dell, when you take a quote I make, and you cut out the middle, it is courtesy that you indicate to other readers that
you have taken two separate sentences and strung them together randomly, with you changing the meaning of what I've said, because you've left out whole sentences.
Like this:
"No, I don't think a religion that treats women poorly is a good one - like how some Christians dictate what a woman can do with her body." [snip] "You're in the category, too."
