Negative. I am trying to comprehend at what point do you believe ideasreligions are stochastic or hearsays.
In Zionism, as praxied, it's genocide.
In Buddhism, as stochastic, is it genocide?

    You're operating off an idealist perspective; as if theres some platonic idea of each religion, instead of understanding religious practice within the context of society.

    There are religious practices that genocide, that is correct. Do you agree with that statement?

    That's like saying there are ideas that cause genocide.

    Religious practice is an expression of the society that practices it.

    You put that same religion in a different context, you get different practices.

    So you believe ideas that are practiced don't cause genocides?

    Religious practice is an expression of the [cult] that practices it.
    You put that same [genocide] in a different context, you get different [genocide].

    Ideas don't cause shit any more than a particular bullet causes mass shootings. You're operating off an idealist perspective, where ideas are the animating force, and not just vessels for underlying social pressures.

    Do you think if the ancient Egyptians somehow discovered a bible, they would have gotten on ships, sailed to the new world, and genocided the natives in 4000BC? That if Europe never got it, they would have said "guess we shouldn't colonize Africa, it would be wrong to aquire the resources our economy demands at the expense of the native peoples" and shrugged?

    Or would Egypt have said "wtf is this lol" and Europe relied on the other justifications they used?

    Ok, disengaging you, since you keep arguing yourself to a circle instead of answering my genuine questions.

    Cults are not societies. And not all cults are genocidal.
    The ones that are, need not accept.

    What causes a cult to be genocidal in your opinion? Just bad people with bad ideas that somehow gain traction?
