And the Christian god sent a bear to brutally murder 42 children after they made fun of a bald man. Is everyone who supports Christianity supporting child murder?
Ancient religions tend to have some abhorrent things in their beliefs. You’d be hard-pressed to find any religion that doesn’t have some absolutely fucked up things in their history
If the argument is that everyone supporting these religions is messed up, I could get behind that. As it stands, most arguments like yours boil down to hate. Hating an out group because it’s easy, because they’re different, because they make easy, vulnerable targets
If Jeffry Epstein had a religion where he explicitly endorsed fucking 6year olds and marrying 9 year olds would you tolerate anyone who followed that religion?
Epstein basically did that, and it’s a good example to show which groups get targeted for hate, and why
We have people like Donald Trump that actively participated in child sexual abuse, yet far more people will revile Muslims because of the things a central figure in their holy book did more than a thousand years ago
The only difference is Muslims are a weak and vulnerable target. You want a group to hate that can’t fight back
And don’t get me wrong, I hate organized religion. I think many atrocities across the world, and across history can be attributed to organized religion. I just recognize they all commit similar atrocities, and the reasons only one group is singled out
