    Ha, so Albania is authoritarian? And Kyrgyzstan? Or East Turkestan, actually?

    Kyrgyzstan is known for having a strong democracy by the standards of Ex-USSR countries.
    The Christians in Egypt or Lebanon are not really less authoritarian than the Muslims there.

    But okay: You are telling that women in Albania and Kyrgyzstan have very limited rights compared to men. I would like you to give some examples of how that shows there, because that was not my impression in either country. I mean, yeah, women have worse rights than men, but is it worse in Albania than in, say, Armenia, which is the oldest Christian country on this planet.

    BTW, currently the logo is the rainbow flag. Funny reading your comment complaining about it not being there when it actually is. Now. You are arguing that LGBT being banned in the Russia and Palestine means that Christianity and Islam are religions against LGBT. I would like you to elaborate on that view, please!

      I bet all the people who were happy yesterday cause because they saw symbol of their religion are also very happy today because they see symbol of homosexuals who btw are sentenced to death in some islamic countries because of that very same religion.

      Maybe the idea is that people will eventually accept this. Wrong. Only atheist / agnostic could come up with this idea. Well, majority of the world is not atheist /agnostic and it won’t change soon. This approach will attract people with similar mindset, so those for whom “it doesnt matter” but will repell those for whom it matters. Christians, Muslims, homosexuals are fundamentally in conflict with each other, whether you like or not. It’s because the books they are reading today are the same books they read 1000 years ago. No word is added and will ever be added. It’s beacuse humans don’t evolve that quickly like some maybe would want. Our genitals looks the same as 10000 years ago. Our cerebellum similarly. It’s not like we can make those conflicts disappear as much as we want to. You cannot force world peace by just grouping people with different beliefs together and tell them there is no conflict.

      That’s why the best strategy is for services and products to stay neutral, if they want for people to be using them. Unless of course you want to sell your services to specific group of likeminded people.
