    I have no sympathy for any religion. Even those folks that are not fanatics about it. To me, it is a form of elitism.

    SOLUTION: Ban Religion.

      Not everyone is as well adjusted as we are.

        I don’t know about “well adjusted”…heck, I’ve got more problems than I care to deal with.
        I just don’t need to rely on the invisible product of a goat herder’s imagination to solve them.

        Then we can schism into “Roll-on” and “Stick” sects, and start hating each other for that.

          And we won’t even speak of those “spray-on” heretics…

          Then there’s the “Secret” sect… but we don’t know who they are. Cuz it’s a “Secret.”

    We humans sure find the pettiest of reasons to harm each other. ‘My supernatural system differs from yours! I kill you!’

    Of course, religion is mostly just shorthand for a variety cultural differences, in reality. If we didn’t have religion (as some seem to think is the answer) we would find some other way to identify groups as ‘other’ so we could go kill them with a clear conscious.

    It’s all very sad. My heart goes out to all who are persecuted for their cultural differences. Live and let live, yo.

    Sorry. I have no sympathy for Christians, because they’re also the persecutors.

    “My Sky Daddy can whip your Sky Daddy!” To listen to American Xians it is them that are being horribly persecuted right here in the good old USofA because they are being told they shouldn’t persecute others and they should stop lying and hating.

    Claims to the contrary, christians are not being persecuted in this country. All we are asking or demanding is that christians obey the laws and rules we’ve enacted.

    ‘Course that doesn’t stop the christians from persecuting others.
