Sigh… fucking religious zealots.
Religion is just a way to try to legitimize hate these days. When you have an indefensible opinion you don’t want to change, say it’s your religion and find an obscure passage to support it. It’s the refuge of the deplorable more than its proclaimed peace and love.
Yep, countries like China have plenty of hate and they’re not religious. Take away religion and the hate is still there.
I didn’t say hate didn’t exist outside religion. That would be your cognitive leap. I said religion is used to attempt to legitimize hate as belief so it can be protected from scrutiny on some levels.
Good people do good things. Bad people do bad things. But for good people to do bad things takes religion. Or something along those lines

Organized religion at work
Jesus did say love your neighbor though. Mohammed wasn’t as chill.
I’m no fan of organized religion at all but:
“None of you has faith until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself.”
Sounds pretty similarly chill to me.
The problem is that these texts have so many contradictory statements that they can be used to justify anything anyway.
Someone should let the Christians know Jesus was such a woke libturd.

I mean, he also messed up some temple peddlers pretty bad that one time. I haven’t read enough of the Quran to really know, but I bet it’s also a mixed bag.
They’re super big on charity, at least.
Some real Texas shit right here.
No wonder Bush wanted them so bad. /s
Inb4 the Russian trolls come here to try and argue this is all Bidens fault and if you vote for him you’re literally as bad as the people actively killing gays.
If Biden didn’t want gays being killed he should’ve never invented homophobia.
Maybe my english is not good enough or your sentence is weird. Are YOU saying its all Bidens fault or are the russian Trolls gonna say it’s all Biden fault?
The russians
At least they’re slowing it down. That never would’ve happened under Trump.
Trump would have had them speed it up.
Since Trump has been a strong advocate for gay people his whole life, where did you get that weird idea?
Where did you get that idea?

Gay and trans are not the same. I’m not going to trod through a bunch of vague accusations.
Specifically, where has threatened to execute gay people ? That is your claim.
Good job not reading any of the links and just seeing the word ‘trans’ in one of them and assuming it was all about trans rights.
Good job for linking bombing and making a baseless claim.
When has Trump ever threatened as you claimed ?
Three links is not ‘link bombing.’
And I see no reason to answer your question if you can’t look at the links that show you’re wrong about Trump. Entirely.
That depends on what his boss would say. Unfortunately, Putin is also a homophobe.
Okay why. What’s the reason to “kill the gays”. This is so unreasonably stupid that it exceeds the bounds of comprehensibility. Even the weirdest takes like “don’t let them marry” or “don’t let them have kids” I can at least see where they’re coming from, I firmly disagree, but I can understand what their take is. But why the actuall fuck do you need to kill them?
Manbabies with insecurities about their own sexuality is my best guess. Oh, and religion of course, but that goes without saying.
Been living under a rock? This is hardly a new idea
Projection and self-hate, I can only assume. The Iraqi government must be 100% closeted gays.
These kinds of “morality” laws always have a built-in slippery slope that entrenches police and judicial corruption, see here:
the bill would also impose a minimum seven-year prison sentence for “promoting homosexuality,” which is undefined in the bill (…) While consensual gay sex is not explicitly outlawed under current law in Iraq, vague “morality” clauses in the country’s penal code are routinely used to target LGBTQ+ people (…) who said it was necessary to “preserve the entity of the Iraqi society from deviation and calls for ‘paraphilia’ [abnormal sexual impulses] that have invaded the world.”
First they speak of homosexuality, half an hour later they’re speaking about deviant behavior and paraphilias. What does count as any of those though? Practicing anal or oral sex? Having pornographic material? Wearing jeans as a woman, or letting your hair slightly long as a man? The vagueness is the purpose: by declaring a not very well defined enemy, people in positions of relative power (a policeman, a judge, a local governor) are capable of promoting witch-hunts about anyone who makes a faux pas.
Ruining the lives of 5-10% of your society’s population is bad enough, but the main purpose of these moves is promoting conformity and entrenching corruption as a means of exerting political power.
I don’t agree with his Bart-killing policy… but I do approve of his Selma-killing policy
It’s dark, but damn is this good. I love me a classic Simpsons reference.
They really want to see another “mission accomplished” banner hanging from a US warship huh? Short memories.
Yeah historically the US has been such a staunch supporter of the community
Religion of peace, amirite?
They’re all religions of peace! Until they’re in power, of course.
