Free yourself to discriminate against all hateful religions equally.

    This shit is always so problematic, like the moment I speak against religion X, I'm joined by zealots of religion Y as if it's about X or Y and not about the fact people made up a genocidal psychopatic man in the sky (or a similar system) that will make them go through eternal torture if they try to be decent people

    I feel like it's the hate we should be speaking against and not the religion.

    You cannot fight hate with hate.

    Yes, technically if they remove half or more from their holy books, and fire almost all of their leadership, and realign all teachings, and take it on themselves to genuinely reeducate their followers, and start paying the same taxes as any corp, I would have no problem with most religions.

    I don't think you will find that any practitioner sees a difference between that and "your religion should be destroyed". So it just saves time to say the quick one.

    You can't be for a religion that says piles of disgusting shit and just choose to ignore that part and call it good. What if a school had a math book, but half of it was porn and grotesque explicit violence?

    Would you say it's ok to have kids read that math book? Would you just say "ok kids, on to geometry, but make sure to flip through all the images of anal penetration and torture!"
