Theocrats all have the same aim: the subjection of civil law under divine law. We turned away from that path in the Renaissance and that has been the whole basis of the modern western world.
Christianity is better than Islam now. Why? Precisely because there was a secular humanist movement that blunted its ambitions for dominance. You are half right: it is false equivalence. But the reason it is false equivalence is that we put religion in the box of personal conscience.
Maybe if you stopped being scared of your shadow long enough, you could see the humor in the fact that the very people who trumpet western moral superiority are the ones laying the most stress on regressive movements which, if successful, would erode that superiority.Cornell University

Sometimes you need to relax just a bit and laugh. We're not going to change the world here. But we have (mostly) fun over virtual beer and pizza discussing things and poking good fun at our counterparts foibles.
