    These type of belief systems have a much quicker loophole: Get a buddy to threaten your life if you don’t renounce your faith, refuse, he kills you, bam, instant martyr, off you go to heaven.

        Hey, Catholics have a lot wrong, but they’re wildly different from Baptists, especially when it comes to theological rigor.

        Evangelicals as a whole are a demonstration of what a religion looks like when it has none of the things that encourage resisting demogaugery

      When they start working with Al-Qaeda’s and ISIS closely, they realize that it is easier to brainwash the soldiers to die for their religion. It is very clear people don’t have attachments to their own country because they are struggling, replace that with religion and they will blow themselves up.

      I assume based on the research the CIA and their experience, they are trying to do that within the US.

      Of course they condemned Islam for that. It’s Islam.

      For Christianity, it’s different for the evangelicals.

      Asinine ‘doodyhead’-tier ‘nicknames’ for people you don’t like are never appropriate, once you’ve reached a double-digit age. Grow up.

        In case you hadn’t noticed, the mocking terms I used are directly and deliberately satirical of their hyper-controlling, abusive, violent theocratic desires.

        If I wanted to call them buttheads, I would have.

        No gold star for you trying to defend them.

        Is not exactly new, there are a bunch of these types of names.

        Maybe they shouldn’t be so fucking stupid if they didn’t want to be called these dumbass names

          Each more pathetic than the last, it’s always a hallmark of an infantile mind not worth engaging with, in my experience.

          Mature adults can talk about people they don’t like without this stupid playground nonsense.

    That one scene from Kingdom of Heaven where a random kid is announcing “To kill an infidel, the pope has said is not murder, it is the path to heaven!”

    Like I have always said, they WILL kill you, and feel righteous while doing so. That’s why religions have been so successful over the centuries. They will die and think that’s going to be a reward…

    And we have graciously allowed them to not pay taxes, and support these “faiths”. Obscene

      Conservatives spent the last quarter century screaming “Muslims are the worst, they’re going to kill us all!”

      Liberals smugly retorted “Actually you Christians are slightly worse”, and then proceeded to shit the bed in the next 9 of 12 elections.

      The moral they took away from this story is that a woman should never run for president.
