Christianity

Why do modern liberals make fun of Christianity all the time? Even on television, it's alright to make fun and criticize Christianity. But when Islam is criticized, the modern liberals defend Muslims even though Islam countries oppress women and throw homosexuals off roofs. They will go after you, call you an Islamophobe, and maybe ruin your life by getting you fired from your job.

Don't you know? It's okay to cut off a girls clitoris and stone a woman for showing her ankles, but it's the worst thing in the world to protest the government funded genocide of our children.

>I, too want to throw homosexuals from a roof, oppress women and get away with it

And here come the atheist Europeans

I notice you're not denying it.

Christianity, Islam, and Judaism are all the same fucked up religion as far as im concerned.

Some god saying "im the only god" and then saying it has rules. Sounds like a con.

#Whatever

Besides, for explaining the so-called unexplained mysteries there are other sources of information that provide much clearer and precise details. About spirits, what happens after people die, and all that. And which do not center on relying on a deity figure.

It's hate.
hate men
Hate White Men
HATE WHITE CHRISTIAN MEN , the most.

Probably because there have been tons of examples of Christian hypocrisy in our mostly Christian nations and it's easy to feel lied to when you grow up with a religious background. Islam is so small in the west it does not appear to have hypocrisy as rampant as Christianity. When you see a girl in a hijab or burka just like when you see a nun in real life you're more inclined to believe they take their religion seriously. The Duggars have affairs and no one cares, Abdul is gay and he gets beheaded.

They hate religion, but are pussies and like soft targets. Christians don't fight back, Muslims do. Also, most of them don't know enough about Islam to criticize it properly (hence they fill in the gaps in their mind and ignore what they actually believe in lieu of their romanticized 'interpretation' of the religion)

For the same reason self-deprecation is okay, but making fun of others is considered rude. These TV programs are made in formerly christian nations. On some Arab TV channels there are people who talk about Islam having problems

It's not up to me to decide hat punishment a homo gets, that's for God to sort out. Besides, homos can still be good people if they ignore their unnatural urges.
Also Christianity is not oppressive to women

Most muslims leftists meet are brown. It's racist to hate them.

Hating Christianity is an extension of the general self-loathing that characterises the post-empire West. Bruckner is a good place to start

"”Repent!” That is the message that, under cover of its proclaimed hedonism, Western philosophy has been hammering into us for the past half-century – though that philosophy claims to be both an emancipatory discourse and the guilty conscience of its time. What it injects into us in the guise of atheism is nothing other than the old notion of original sin, the ancient poison of damnation. In Judeo-Christian lands, there is no fuel as potent as the feeling of guilt, and the more our philosophers and sociologists proclaim themselves to be agnostics, atheists, and free-thinkers, the more they take us back to the religious belief they are challenging. [...] From existentialism to deconstructionism, all of modern thought can be reduced to a mechanical denunciation of the West, emphasising the latter's hypocrisy, violence, and abomination. In this enterprise the best mind have lost much of their substance. Few of them have avoided succumbing to this spiritual routine: one applauds a religious revolution, another goes into ecstasies over the beauty of terrorist acts or supports a guerilla movement because it challenges our imperialist project. Indulgence toward foreign dictatorships, intransigence toward our democracies. An eternal movement: critical thought, at first subversive, turns against itself and becomes a new conformism, but one that is sanctified by the memory of the former rebellion. Yesterday's audacity is transformed into today's clichés. Remorse has ceased to be connected with precise historical circumstances; it has become a dogma, a spiritual commodity, almost a form of currency.”

"On the whole, the Old World prefers guilt to responsibility: the former is easier to bear; we get on well with our guilty conscience. Our lazy despair does not incite us to fight injustice but rather to coexist with it."

>Why do modern liberals make fun of Christianity all the time?
Because they understand it as nonsense and largely are understanding Christianity from a Protestant point of view.


>But when Islam is criticized, the modern liberals defend Muslims even though Islam countries oppress women and throw homosexuals off roofs. They will go after you, call you an Islamophobe, and maybe ruin your life by getting you fired from your job.

The left upholds equality through tolerance and realizes historic reactionaries to recent immigration. It does this so it can promote unity between people and gather than minority vote. Because it does this it's big on identity issues and wants to push that despite people in the group their defending working against the whole "tolerance" aspect.

The social democrats are getting taxed to try to uphold their values with Islam so they're trying to put a blind eye to their groups working against them to just keep pressing the narrative of immigration hate to the point it becomes an anti-majority narrative.

Why do modern conservatives make fun of Islam all the time? Even on online image boards, it's alright to make fun and criticize Islam. But when Christianity is criticized, the modern conservatives defend Christians even though the bible oppresses women, says it's ok to kill gays and commit rape. They will go after you, call you a "fedora tipping atheist liberal" , and maybe ruin your discussion by simply countering any criticism of Christianity with a picture of a fedora.

NOWHERE IN THE BIBLE DOES IT SAY ITS OKAY TO RAPE THE BIBLE SAYS RAPISTS SHOULD BE PUT TO DEATH STOP SPREADING THIS DUMB MEME
AND NO ITS NOT OKAY TO OPRESS WOMEN
THERE IS A CLEAR HEIARCHY BUT HUSBANDS MUST RESPECT THEIR WIVES AND WIVES MUST RESPECT THEIR HUSBANDS SOMETHING NOBODY CAN DO THESE DAYS

>Why do modern conservatives make fun of Islam all the time?

They believe it is destructive and wrong.

>But when Christianity is criticized, the modern conservatives defend Christians even though the bible oppresses women, says it's ok to kill gays and commit rape.

With kind of worldview, it's obvious you'd run into this issue. The core of the issue is that the Christians that defend Christianity believe it good and separate from the claims you make.


>They will go after you, call you a "fedora tipping atheist liberal" , and maybe ruin your discussion by simply countering any criticism of Christianity with a picture of a fedora.

I response to the brief condescension of the modern rise of atheism in the early 2000s but yes, still not justifiable.

Christians will try to convince me, muslims will kill me. The dividing line is the threat of violence.

Because Christianity is more familiar to them. Familiarity breeds contempt. Also, not being beheaded for insulting them is a bonus.

>Familiarity breeds contempt.
u wot

Who is this Bruckner? Are you talking about this one?

Gimme a last name and a book.

The problem here is decadence. Because we live in lax times, there is no stigma against disloyalty, which allows various parasites and nonconformists like leftists, atheists, feminists, etc. increase in number.

Progressives do not follow any sort of objective morality or set of standards.

This is why their actions and beliefs are so consistently contradictory. It only works when your sense of morality is selectively applied.

At the core of Christianity is an objective morality. Things are either right or wrong. With a fixed moral grounding one cannot behave like a progressive and thus progressives hate Christianity.

They don't mind Islam for a few reason. The biggest, which has already be detailed, this that a core principle of progressiveism is to hate the west. By extension they're sympathetic towards Islam because its values are significantly different from those of the west. Their subjective moralities allows progressives to ignore all of the horrible ways Islam treats women and homosexuals.

People who criticize Christianity over Islam have never truly encountered Muslims in real life.

Pascal Bruckner. Start with The Tyranny of Guilt: An Essay on Western Masochism. There's also The Tears of the White Man: Compassion as Contempt, which was written in the 80s so it's a bit outdated in some ways, but it also hints at the decline of things to come, so depressing in hindsight. Both are worth reading eventually, but start with The Tyranny Guilt, it's more relevant to today.

This, to be honest.

Because muslims threaten to, and actually do commit acts of mass murder when their religion is threatened. They have to be treated with kid gloves or else they (quite literally) explode.
