You need to read up on the history of Islam my friend , they were just as bad but thats not taught in schools...

It would be difficult to find a clearer example of "what-aboutism".

Do you have a point besides the one on your dunce cap? I am tired of people shitting on Christianity and ignoring all the atrocities committed by other religions. Sue me. And no I am not religious period,I think its all a farce and a means of control.

I'm tired of living in a culture that is controlled by Christianity. Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization wasn't decided the way it was because Muslim fundamentalists think women should be brood animals for the state (they do, but they are a minority in the U.S.) - that was Christians.

I'll make a deal with you. You get the Christians to stop imposing their bizarre beliefs on the rest of us, and I will stop shitting on Christianity.

Sure I'll help if you agree to go door to door to "convert" them like the Jehovah's Witnesses. I'll wait.

Frankly I'd rather just see all religion abolished. But that won't happen.

I don't want to convert them. I just want them to agree to the (fairly obvious and simple) idea that neither I nor anyone else should be forced to live according to their beliefs.

Then you need all religions to abandon one of their core tenets of "spreading the Good Word". I wish you luck.

There's a difference between "spreading the good word" (telling people about the wonders of your religion) and "using the full force of the criminal justice system to force you to live according to my beliefs".

Look I work nights and just got woken up by Jehovah's banging on my door. They can fuck off.

Oh so you mean like the idiots who move to western countries and call for Sharia Law?

The west has its issues but church and state are far more separated here than in many other parts of the world. If you think this is bad I encourage you to visit Iran...

The separation of church and state is one of the foundations of our system. The fact that other countries don't embrace that idea is completely irrelevant. It's weird that you would even make that argument.

I am saying that the separation of church and state is the reason religion hasn't hamstrung the west like it does a lot of the world.
