DILBERT: This is for you

Dilbert, there is a clear difference between Christians and Muslims.

First of all, do you know of any Christians who's husband's family will meet the newly wed couple at the airport and try and coerce her into converting?

Secondly, in the Quran it says you may hit your wife as a last resort. There is no mention of that in New Testament.

There is little comparison between devout Muslims and devout Christians. Most of the Christians who live a conservative style are free to do so.

The collapse of Western civilization is do mainly to low birth rates. You can thank secularism and materialism for that, not Christianity. This putrid secular society of ours has taken the very idea of procreation out of sex and romance in the last forty years.

I don't expect this to change, especially as long as individuals like you keep blaming Christianity. Just look at where most all our immigrants come from: Latin America, over 95% Christian. Coincidence? NO! Secular countries don't have kids, religious ones do. It's very simple, and if Westerners want to be fat, lazy and stupid, then yes, we are going to get what we deserve and then some, but it's because of atheism, secularism (ie selfishness), not Christianity. If the West knows what's good for it, it'll get back to Christianity---um YESTERDAY.
