That’s right ! 👍🏿 And those people…
When you look more closely where what they say really comes from…
The fact that they are so quick to talk about religion being bad when they’re talking about Islam.
And when you realize it’s always the same type of people who use that rethoric (WP).
You know…
Buddha doesn't teach hate of other religions. Alot of religions treat others as different paths to their own God. Christians aren't supposed to hate but they have let other interpret the word for them instead of actually reading scriptures.
2 things I know about Gods: If they are the Great Abuser in the Sky. leave the relationship. you have batter children syndrome and need help. If your god requires you to pray too them before they listen. you need to accept that a god that needs validation of his " followers" isn't much of a god....
Except that the Abrahamic ones are the main if not overwhelming majority of the ones making religion a bad word. The Dharmics don’t do this stuff and most pagan or indigenous faiths don’t either. Basically all the negativity (90% or more) associated with religion arises from Christianity and Islam.
Doubt it. At somepoint ppl on either side sound just as batshit crazy and it has nothing to do with their political bent. But their own perceived biases. Calling out islam shows a particular bias.
as a leftist, it's true. so many leftists think that mysogyny, homophobia, pedophilia, and other negative aspects of religion are okay as long as they belong to marginalized religions.
It doesn't provide an effective way to neuter those bad people, so right now it's at best insufficient to the moment. Post again when enough people start calling out the prosperity gospel whores and Christian nationalist ghouls
The poster directs specific bigotry at our Muslim friends while pretending to express a strawman concern about intolerance. Pisspoor troll-like behavior designed to spread dissension and magnify hate is unacceptable.
Enacting this behavior in a public forum must be condemned by righteous folk.
It is primarily Talibangelical Christians, ChristoFascists and inbred Caucasianists inflicting fear-fueled, hate-mongering violenceband terror on minorities.
To be straight with you, my Jewish ass is pissed off the bigotry you are directing our Muslim friends.
Well I agree with the statement, however, leviticus 18 22 originally said you shall not lie with young boys as you would a woman for it is an abomination, it was originally about pedophila and not homosexuality. The church changed, and have molested our children ever since.
Well Christian nationalists fall into category wonder if they will look for another religion I hope they end up in heaven very soon they are some of the evilest people in the world
If you construct a vengeful, cruel, deity who feasts upon mortal grief & pain as the centerpiece of ur belief system, you and ur religion can fuck right off. No such god is deserving of worship or faith, just as no brutalizing dictator is deserving of loyalty. David Simon <-the Abrahamic religions
Better still give it up as too many people die because "God" is on their side and only a very few lice to the ideals found in religious texts. Just treat everyone fairly with humanity unless they demonstrate they are out to harm you...then....
Islam does not advocate violence against anyone, just like Christianity is not defined by the Crusades and Spanish Inquisition. Oh wait, those were sanctioned by the Catholic Church, so I guess Christians do advocate violence.
Religion has had millenniums to bring us world peace, but yet they can’t because we can’t decide who’s God is real — when in fact, if you think someone else’s God isn’t real, why wouldn’t you think all of them aren’t, they’re all fake made up fairytale characters. #FreeThought
I've yet to see you argument that humans are incapable of peace when it's arguably state and capital that need diversion and violence and it's been humans of all ages and denominations that have been striving to live in peace for most of the time.
Ah yes, lovely defeatist argument, very much in line with the low expectations of you, not as a human being but as an ignorant and toxic and miserable misanthropic individual.
Good point. As we have learned, being religious does not give you empathy. In far too many instances, being "religious" gives you the opposite of empathy.
There are multiple studies on this. Found one a while back about the children of atheists being more empathetic and kinder. It was surmised that atheist parents activity worked to teach empathy, while religious parents sent their kids to church to learn morals.
It’s crazy to me how many religious people can’t fathom a moral code existing outside of a religious context. If you need a god to be good, I will always doubt your “goodness”.
All religions are based in fear. They’re all abusive relationships where if you don’t hate the right people, unconditionally worship the deity you will be condemned to eternal torture. That’s not love, it’s psychological abuse.
Some have an exemption from reporting child abuse, up to and including sexual abuse, and have fought in US courts to retain that exemption...to protect the sanctity of the confessional...rather than the child.
I got my head bit off and yelled at to unfollow someone making this statement two weeks ago. I wasn’t invited to the conversation that the app invited me to apparently.
& God murdering and committing mass genocide for his own whims. Plus, it contradicts itself so much that the entire Christian movement is based on post Biblical innovation. Christianity exists only as authoritarian dogma that claims the Bible as its source of authority but ignores the contradictions
Do any of you respect the Universal Declaration of Human Rights?
This validates everything MAGA does.
You are the same.
Just different teams.
Subhuman intellect, folks.
Islam is the root of misogny, homophobia, transphobia and other hate crimes. Yes, christians have their own issues, but let's face the facts, Muslims are doing it all over the world, Christians are only doing it in America.
Putin promised the Russian Orthodox church he would be their savior if they backed him. Part of the war with Ukraine is religious as Russian church does not like the Ukrainian Orthodox church.
Better yet, no religion at all. That way, you don’t have to worry about destroying people who don’t believe in the same nonexistent being you believe in.
What if your religion requires an exemption from reporting child abuse, including sexual abuse ? If the evidence is obtained in a "confessional setting" in order to protect the SANCTITY of the "confessional" rather than the child ? Should ANY religion have an "exemption " to protect children ?
Why the hell would Islam be exempt? Lmao. Islam and Christianity are the worst things invented by humanity in the last 20,000 years.
Second worst was learning to farm. 🤣
Religion does not teach people to hate. All Faiths, except for those followed by trump et al, teach love and compassion.
This is man's interpretation of what religion is, particularly, MAGA.
For those who hear that. Raised in it, believe in it and hatred and religion is man’s tool added to obtain superiority and divide.
I allow everyone to come to their own conclusions.
When I see these MAGAs wearing crosses and spewing hatred and division, those are the lies attached THEY attached.
I know that and I’m good.
Opinions on a topic are always good. God gave us all minds and free will.
Faith, my Faith, I know it’s beauty. I see how it’s used for ugly, evil. This is the free will we all have, have been given.
Yes. We as a planet need to hold Islam and the leaders of the middle east to account. They seem to do nothing to help. They enjoy their oil wealth and let the west carry the load. They need to be held accountable for a lot of things.
Religion is just the excuse that use for hate. They hate because they see someone enjoying who they are and they are not able to do that. They hate because they see someone get something they do not get; love, attention, respect, fairness, acceptance. They hate because it is easier than growing up.
so islamists only forgo their rabid homophobia when they're raised in non-islamic countries? and even then, only half of them "approve" of gay people, which is much less accepting than the general non-islamic population? why do you think that is?
In the IS, Christianity is the more immediate threat to the LGBTQ+ community. Few are good, but focusing on Islam gives the Christi-fascists cover they don’t deserve.
Christian here. The Bible calls us SEVERAL FUCKING TIMES not to hate others and WHAT DO WE DO? Do they realize that harms ALL THE REST OF US? God is a loving and a forgiving god, and you choose to distract us from that FOR WHAT FUCKING REASON?! I’m done with this shit.
Here’s the thing: you’re an ACTUAL Christian. Those are just “Christian’s” who misread the Bible and use it as a way of hate instead of a way of praise.
idk i feel like to be anything close to a Real Christian you should like. vibe with what christ said sometimes. and i dont think he woulda liked the hatemonger megachurch pastors much given his quotes about loving those around you and that rich people will not go to heaven
dog i dont wanna fuckin debate you i just think trying to hit back against people wanting people to actually read the book with the fallacy gambit isnt the banger post you think it is
Christianity is in believing in 3 tenants: Jesus is God, Jesus’s death and resurrection, and Jesus’s forgiveness of our sins on the cross. We’re not an organized, collective group that all believe and act the same. What some “Christians” do doesn’t define the rest of us.
In the Bible, it talks about “False Prophets” and “False Christian’s” in many cases (Matthew 6:5, 6:16; I Corinthians 11:27). Saying you’re a Christian isn’t enough to be a Christian. You need to have TRUE faith in Jesus to be a Christian.
Religion is like anything else, it sometimes starts out as a good idea, when it gains traction and becomes big, it gets hijacked by sociopaths and other deranged people and turns to shit.
The Salvation Army is probably the best example of Christianity from my experience.
Being religious is just a trait some people have, some are still good people some are not. Trying to group together all who posses one trait or another and say they are good or bad is the beginning of prejudice. Judge every individual by how they act, not what they are.
Well we all have bad impulses, some are klepto, some are liars, anger-issues, what have you, so unless they act on it, no not a bad person. If they do act yes, they would be a r@pist and an evil person.

Religious people absolutely try to take away non-religious peoples' autonomy
And sure, some religious people are also discriminated against, that's not relevant to the OP
Anti religious people. It’s not the same.

Cuz if not, it shouldn’t matter here and now

Bad people use religion to teach people to hate others
Mostly for their benefit or power
It was coordinated, imho, to feed the military industrial complex with never ending middle east wars for decades
that is why I dominate any religion with the same price
Do you really need someone to tell you right from wrong???
I said I do not know.
The interviewer replied put them in the same room with a practicing homosexual.
I laughed like a drain. I got hired.

Fuck that shit.
Ps. Hitler had a different "religion"
Just as an example of christian love.
They're mostly exclusionary anyway.
No matter your class status, race, background, sexual orientation, gender, or political leanings. We can be sacrificed
Everyone is equal
Religion is merely a Tool abusers may choose to wield to enforce their will.
As seen with Dunald Tromp being a very shit Christian and shit person.
Maybe just accept that.
And making it about world peace and not succeeding at it is a straw man that applies exactly the same to the aforementioned.
And those are demonstrably & more directly used to divide & kill people & biodiversity & against world peace.
I do think capitalism is more destructive than religion is, although the two are tied together in places like America.
It's not a good combination.
And those are all demonstrably used against peace and equality and humans and nature alike.
Fixed that for you
More atrocities have been committed in the name of "God" than anything else.
What???
On that I TOTALLY disagree.
They should be aligning, in these religions, by taking 2 months as each other in turn.
This validates everything MAGA does.
You are the same.
Just different teams.
Subhuman intellect, folks.
Then He's no God I know
Because Christ would not send boys to die
Every time I hear those words it's like a shot to the heart. Cuts right through all the BS and makes me want to weep.
Y'all need some Jesus.

Also Mother Teresa.
Evil old witch.
"Never trust anyone who believes in imaginary beings."
She then decreed-
"Put none other gods before me!!"
She added-
"You can put them after me but I recommended you use protection."
SO IT IS WRITTEN - SO SHALL IT BE DONE!!
Any faith that can persuade someone to commit crimes against humanity is not needed in our world.
Second worst was learning to farm. 🤣
This is man's interpretation of what religion is, particularly, MAGA.
They are amoral at best
I allow everyone to come to their own conclusions.
When I see these MAGAs wearing crosses and spewing hatred and division, those are the lies attached THEY attached.
But religions are all mind cancer, simply because they are not true
Billions of people waste so much time and money on something entirely fake
Even the most benevolent religion is at best amoral for this reason
Opinions on a topic are always good. God gave us all minds and free will.
Faith, my Faith, I know it’s beauty. I see how it’s used for ugly, evil. This is the free will we all have, have been given.
We have serious work to do.
Only religious extremism does.
what they say is supported by scripture. it's the ideology itself that is bigoted, not just individual people.
They all preach their version of God and how to worship him
But it's all false teaching written by men that want others to do their bidding
The closest we get to the real teaching of God
Is the 10 commandments and walking in Jesus shoes
Christianity is what christians believe, say, and do.
Most christians believe, say, and do hateful bigotry with their religion.
So that is what christianity is.
>90% of the time it has existed, being a Christian happened because the church owned the land you lived on and weren't allowed to leave.
It's always been a political tool, usually wielded by the wealthy against vulnerable populations.
Christians now distorting the teachings of Christ but that’s ok apparently.
The Salvation Army is probably the best example of Christianity from my experience.
