      Like all of them, really. I dream of a day when all people realize neither of those bullshitty made up stories even make sense and will stop believing in all of religion.

        People like religion because it brings community. It allows people to create a shared knowledge which people have a way to connect and understand how people want to be treated. You honestly could do this with anything. You largely see it in the Linux community now though. Linux is religious like that.

          I don’t want to do anyone any favors, especially people with delusions (mini spoiler: there are no talking snakes, unless you take some drugs).

          Aren’t it Christians who are banning abortion everywhere? You may find it very unlike stoning women to death, I think it’s the same thing, just not as severe.

          But hey, I believe Christians will get there over time! Or they’ll at least try.

        Yeah mate countries allowing men to murder women with fuck all consequences as long as it was an “honour killing” has totally got nothing to do with religion - just like how the Americans banning abortion is purely to protect babies and definitely wasn’t motivated by religion!

      Just like any religion. This has nothing to do with Islam. It has everything to do with extremist zealots who exist in every religion. Even Linux.
