3) The Bible's page being longer than those of the Qu'ran or the Talmud seems to be due to those complaints and issues that are absent from the Talmud's and the Qu'ran's page, so I don't think that disproves my point.

4) I am not against Islam and Judaism though I am neither. That quote, to me, was a plausible set of theories as to why Christianity is criticized more than Judaism and Islam these days in media. I do not consider it impartial, in fact I find a lot of things on this site regarding religion very subjective , including the atheist and agnostic parts (if fact, looking back, this site gives off a predominantly atheist vibe, at times approaching anti-theist/new age atheist). It is true that the media has perpetuated the stereotype of

4) I am not against Islam and Judaism though I am neither. That quote, to me, was a plausible set of theories as to why Christianity is criticized more than Judaism and Islam these days in media. I do not consider it impartial, in fact I find a lot of things on this site regarding religion very subjective , including the atheist and agnostic parts (if fact, looking back, this site gives off a predominantly atheist vibe, at times approaching anti-theist/new age atheist). It is true that the media has perpetuated the stereotype of \"most terrorists are Muslims\" and fueled the fires of fear. While I\'m not sure how much that quote applies to Judaism, I do know that several key media authority figures and founders of Western media are Jewish and that... poking fun at Judaism in the media: generally \"bad taste\". Jokes about practically every other religion: not so much. After having a look at the page the quote was right in at least one way; Christianity, to use that example, had a longer folder than all the other religions. Look at the folders on the page AcceptableReligiousTargets.
5) No I don\'t consider it ironic, since I did my own research upon seeing that quote and realized there was a grain of truth to it hence why I used it. If you want the sites I researched, just ask.
P.S. Perhaps I am biased. I am more biased than some Christians (who may have seen what I saw but decided not to call it out) but less biased than others (I can recognize when other religions or even atheism/agnosticism teach something good even though I\'m not one of them). Pointing to my bias is approaching the Ad Homenim logical fallacy; attacking the person rather than the argument they\'re making. That veiled remark that I\'m biased could also apply to you LordGro, either biased for another belief system or against Christianity since you appear quick to dismiss the notion that Christianity\'s at times unfairly picked on; so that insinuation does nothing to prove or disprove either of our views.
