It is always refreshing to see someone with the courage to stand up to the lunacy of our current time, to speak plainly and honestly.  Radicals, the gullible and naive, those with a vested interest and a bias will attempt to slander and destroy truth tellers, this has always been the case.  But those who are possessed of reason and rationality and believe in decency, cannot help but speak what it true.  To do anything else is to participate in deceit, regardless if one is aware of it or not.

Agreed. Maybe we have another "crusades" type war between Christians and muslims? Doesn't seem too far fetched now. People are growing very tired of Islam in America. Smart Americans can tell the difference. It's the multitude of good ol boys that you have to worry about.

Aw, cmon, labelling all religion equally dangerous is absurd and disingenuous.  When is this evil political correctness going to stop.  Why can't people be honest anymore.  I was raised to be honest even if it hurts peoples feelings, because truth is above all else.  Without honesty, a society cannot function, it collapses in on itself.  Maybe this is why there is so much terrorism, because people simply refrain from stating the obvious truth which would lead to solutions.  When people are honest and community minded, problems get solved, when people for whatever reasons, refrain from telling the truth, people get hurt and nothing changes.  It is likely that there will be some serious conflict and some casualties when ISLAM is confronted by honest well meaning people.  But their are casualties now, why wait until it's your loved ones.  Stop being cowards and stand up for what is right.

Funny thing, is that the US has a sidewinder rattlesnake, and horned viper in the Middle East sidewinds in a similar fashion...
Things that we have in common.

You are very correct. This is coming from someone who has no affiliation with any organised religion. Faith should be like a fingerprint.

The Eastern Diamondback on the East coast is the most dangerous Rattlesnake.

For arguments sake, The five (5) most venomous Rattlesnakes in the WORLD are as follows:

1) Tiger Rattlesnake LD50=0.06 Venom Yield is between 6 to 11 mg's per bite
2) Neo Tropical Rattlesnake LD50=0.17 Venom Yield is between 20 and 100 mg's per bite
3) Mojave Rattlesnake LD50=0.18 Venom Yield is between 50 and 150 mg's per bite
4) Twin Spotted Rattlesnake LD50=0.95 Venom Yield is between 4 and 8 mg's per bite
5) Western Rattlesnake LD50=1.01 Venom Yield is between 35 to 250 mg's per bite

The LD50 test is used to determine toxicity its the amount of venom injected into a field mouse to cause death.

Venom doesn't equal danger, check this out. I was just speaking of America, but around the world, it's pretty high as well.


I like how it's laid out.

The original analogy was that 'labelling which religion is the most dangerous is like labelling which species of rattlesnake is the most poisonous.'  Dangerousness wasn't mentioned.

Its important not to confuse MOST POISONOUS with MOST DANGEROUS TO HUMANS. The snakes that are most dangerous to humans factor in the following:
1) Venom strength
2) Venom Yield
3) Snakes disposition
4) Interaction with Humans

Yes, but my statement was "most dangerous". You are correct though... Agnostic's original statement was "most poisonous".

I acquiesce.

I just wanted to accurately stick to the metaphor, because he was suggesting that all religions are equally poisonous as are rattlesnakes.  Which I think is deceptive and untrue.  There is nothing wrong with trying to get to the bottom of things, the root cause, the truth.  But for some reason, citizens find it next to impossible to talk about the reality of religion, either for fear of offending or that their own beliefs and religion will be criticised.  I think this is why religion is so dangerous, it has become a protected species that is allowed to behave in any way it likes.  Religion does not equal freedom from criticism or analysis, or freedom from condemnation and preventative legislative measures.  But the Muslims have got everyone believing all their propaganda and BS and making out like they are the victims.  It's sickening, their values will never correspond with Western values, they never have and they never will.  Western governments trying to force this to happen is only making the situation worse.  They need to face facts, Muslims can never be civilised in the way Westerners can, they just can't.

Thomas the Train cannot compare to Electric Company's 3-2-1 Contact, which spawned the Bloodhound Gang...learning was fun and cool back then...

Also Marty Stouffer's slow motion predator-prey chase scenes were ahead of their time.
