I didn't say that religion is bad. I said "a religion ... treats women like property." Nobody says that about Jainism. You can't even say that about satanism. Some religions treat women badly, and others don't.

Yeah look I’m not going to get into pointless discussions about religions that just going to end up like talking about football teams. You wanna criticize religion as a concept feel free to, but you’ll always end up sounding like you’re 12 when you’re painting with such a broad brush over something like 1.5 billion people. You may not notice in this circle jerk or even the circle jerk that is liberal media but people who tend to have strong simplified opinions on one topic usually have them about others as well. I hope you will experience that the world is more complicated than that and hopefully it will make you think.

It makes me think that you're not capable of defending your viewpoint, that's for sure.

liberal media

Yeah your dog whistle got a little too loud there

Dog whistle for what? For not liking that it’s ridiculous what kind of shit you can say when it’s about those people? The shit people say nowadays about Muslims and Islam is the same shit they said a 100 years ago about Jews and it was and still is liberal media who’s carrying this into the middle of society, not some MAGA Qanon looney toons who live in their own world anyway.

I’m not surprised people here are confused and that’s exactly what I’m criticizing and what makes me being downvoted to oblivion, some topics people aren’t capable of understanding nuance and this is one of them.

Nope. You're just wrong. Nothing you're saying here is true. That's why you're being down voted. You're just too thick skulled to admit it so you keep doubling down

Thanks for also proving my point.

[–] catsarebadpeople 1 points 3 weeks ago

Yes my point has definitely been proven by you. Thanks for pointing that out! 🤠
