  • Look, there are Christians that believe in polygamy and child marriage as part of their faith. Does that mean all Christians? No.

    Likewise, do I think that all Muslims support this behavior? No. But the numbers don’t lie. It is an almost uniquely Muslim phenomenon. It doesn’t matter where the Muslims come from.

  • I mean that’s not how China did it, also I didn’t say I agreed with it. You read way too much into it. As far as Mao’s cultural revolution goes. It was brutal for reasons other than what you listed, and it was successful because it worked.

    I just want to make it clear that I don’t endorse genocide. I never said I did. You assumed that’s what I meant for some reason, and you know what happens when you assume?

  • So, let me get this straight. Muslims don’t honor kill because religion? They honor kill because they have a cultural predisposition to honor killing? I mean honestly that sounds kinda gross.

    Before you say they aren’t the only ones or something. I had to answer someone else before you. So, they got all the links showing that worldwide Muslims do the heavy lifting on honor killings, and we’re talking Muslims from the Balkans, to the Middle East, to Muslims in America, and Muslims in Europe. We are talking Muslims of every color.

    I would think that Muslims in very different geographical areas would have slightly different cultures, but same religion.

  • I think shedding more light on the atrocities committed by these organizations and individuals would be a good start. I think we should publicly shame these people when they do horrific things. Maybe even protest outside their place of worship.

    I think that would be a good start

  • Bro honor killings in a Muslim country are closely tied to their religion. I have a very interesting relationship with Islam, and I can tell you with about 90% certainty that this is because of religion.

    90% of all honor killings in the us have been Muslim.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honor_killings_by_region

    Here is honor killings by region. Guess who does the VAST majority of them world wide.

    Technically an honor killing doesn’t have to be religious, but then you have to say that Muslims have a cultural predisposition to honor killings, and honestly that sounds super fucking gross.

    But going back to what I was saying earlier. I grew up about as close to the Muslim faith as you can and not be Muslim at all.

  • I mean, you are absolutely correct. The only people that I know of to be successful at removing religion by force are the Chinese. The Russians tried to do it and failed miserably.

    But we should also continue step up the shaming of people and cultures involved in things like child marriage, abuse of women, basically human rights violations.

    I also think that we should shine a spotlight on the non-Abrahamic religions as well.

    After all, if I started a nonprofit organization called “Save the whales”, and got donations all the time. Had “save the whales” meetings every Tuesday. But then you found out I was taking that money and killing whales. The world would be pretty upset, and rightly so.

    Well if you have a religion, and say that you love everyone because that’s what your religion teaches. But then you abuse children, women, minorities, basically the vulnerable people in your community. That’s a huge problem.

    So in closing I just want to say that you are correct. People have to realize on their own, but I think that the people involved in these abuses should also be publicly shamed and humiliated.

  • Of course. But, I can’t view nsfw content until I log in. Using the app is just way more convenient. Also, my VPN makes the homepage be in a language I don’t understand until I log in. It’s just a hassle.

    If I was going to do that, I’d just reinstall the app.

  • Well, it’s weird how each religion chose to interact with me. I have had that account for over 6 years. So, I’ve had quite a bit of experience.

    The Muslims were interesting. Mostly, I would get a private message, and someone would politely ask if I would change my name. This happened like 4 or 5 times. They would explain that they found my username offensive, and explain how it wasn’t ok, but in the end would just say it was my choice and go away.

    The slightly more serious Muslims would send me a private message to tell me that someone would be relieving me of my head. They would unleash a tirade calling me something horrible. That only happened like 2 times I think.

    Christians on the other hand are usually content to pay me no mind. But, when they do feel froggy it’s always very public and more like getting ganked. Several show up it’s a whole thing.

    But, I try to avoid those situations. I’m old by internet standards. I really try to spend most of my time. Sharing my old person knowledge and generally trying to be helpful.

    I originally made this username as a joke, because my partner took my other username and filled it with porn subs.

  • This is my second temporary ban. I have a similar username on Reddit. A couple of people were saying that I was a trash human for having this username. So I told one of them “I love you. I unironically hope you have a long and happy life. I hope that all the good things happen to you.”

    That apparently is harassment.

  • I only browsed Reddit from my phone. I have a nice computer, but she’s for gaming. I mean obviously she can do more, but I have a keyboard where I only connect the wasd side. If I want to use Reddit I have to connect the other side of the keyboard.
