The Barbarity of Christianity (as compared to Islam)

This is a philosophical topic unto itself!Several possibilities:
Assuming that a "pit" exists:
1) If pit=Hell or damnation, one can argue that the pit was never created for humans. It was created for rebellious independant "spirits" who never intend to conform to an absolute standard. The counter-argument is that the absolute standard was dictated by humans who desired to "control" other humans.2) As an atheist, you cant rant at "God" since for you, God does not exist. So you are quite on the mark ranting at religious folk. You would agree, however, that there are some absolutes. Don't play in the street is an absolute that all parents know too well.
Stay away from that plug! is another one.

Gradually it was disclosed to me that the line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either, but right through every human heart, and through all human hearts. This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years. Even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained; and even in the best of all hearts, there remains a small corner of evil. --Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago
