I'm ignoring you from now on because you're completely clueless at least about EU history.

WW1 was actually caused by stress about the balance of political power between the "Great Power" countries (i.e. the majority) in Europe.

WW2 was directly caused by Germany invading Poland, a result of the rise of the Nazi party (who were elected by a majority coalition).

Really? so either the crusades did not occur 1k years ago, or multiple fatalities of innocent people from islamic terrorist attacks are not happening daily? ...and you are seriously claiming that Christianity instructs the killing of people if they insult jesus and/or Christianity does not teach us to forgive? ..and that Christianity teaches the denial of basic human rights?

Perhaps you'd share where in the new testament is all this?

dude the old testament bible hasn't hardly been relevant let alone dictated the tenets of modern Christianity for over 2000 years. Its what Jesus was all about.

All your comments are about a few examples of isolated loony supposedly christian radical groups who's actions aren't even close to being in line with the teachings of the religion itself (New testament).

ISIS (or whatever they currently call themselves) and most other radical islamic groups like Boku Haram are operating on a whole different scale to everything you mentioned, and you either know it and you're trolling, or you are VERY badly informed.

Your 4th example is probably the biggest in terms of deaths but is factually way off; The Bosnian Serb army was entirely responsible for the killings, not the christian church. You can blame Radovan Karadzic for dictatorial powermongering, radical nationalism and ethnic cleansing far more than you can legitimately claim the siege of Sarajevo had anything to do with promoting Christianity.

Not the Pope or any other legitimate Christian leader ever preaches death or even bad treatment of muslims or anyone else, yet many if not most imams publically support jihad: literally the armed struggle against, and therefore death of, everyone who isn't muslim. In fact the qu'ran makes it clear that jihad is actually the duty of all good muslims.
Thats one major key difference.
Whilst I agree that Christianity has its own issues and a violent past, Your implication that Christianity as a religion even comes close to being as fucked-up as islam is, especially these days, is completely unfounded.

It will finally HAVE to get significantly better or die. I honestly don't believe the cable companies literally can't increase programming quality especially when their existence is at stake. In fact thats probably what it takes before they stop acting like greedy monopolies. And if they can't, they will fail and leave a big gap for someone to come along that can. I really don't see the problem here.

If you're one of the few who's listening tastes are completely satisfied by Pandora then for you of course you're right, but you need to understand that not many people are actually like that.

Also it sounds very much like you're not even close to comparing apples to apples, from your figures it appears your script is including the theoretical purchase price of music that Pandora chooses to play at you rather than just the musicyou actively selected. I mean it could play something you don't even like or would ever buy but your script would still include the cost.

what about when you're not at home, or in an area where your cell can't/aren't allowed to get data? What about the extra hidden cost of your internet connections themselves and the necessary extra bandwidth usage?

Ok so add up all the dead from every christian-initiated incident you mentioned from the last 1000 years and compare that to than the number of innocent people killed by islamic terrorist activity every month. Starting to get it now?

I am not a Christian but your argument sucks.

The crusades were over 1000 years ago, and that is still the best example of Christian church-led violence you can come up with?, yet multiple fatalities of innocent people from islamic terrorist attacks are taking place every day.

Unlike islam, Christianity does not condone let alone instruct the killing of anyone, especially not just because they insulted the name of Jesus. In fact Christianity teaches us to forgive.

Unlike islam, Christianity does not teach denial of basic human rights and prevention of education of certain groups of people (because of their gender, race or beliefs).

Unlike islam, Christianity does not have radical priests that brainwash believers into becoming human bombs. ...Want me to go on? ...and yes I on purpose spelt Christianity with a capital C but islam with a lower case i, as the even the name of such a scum-ridden religion doesn't deserve any respect.
