Ooh, thanks.

I am truly horrified by what you had to endure. I understand, or at least think I may understand, why you feel this way. However, your experience is not universal to all people of faith.

Religion is very much compatible with day-to-day rationality, and most religions do not believe that one has to forsake everything; in fact, that fundamentalist sect still owns things, and they’re just making up an excuse to steal. Propagating beliefs themselves is not coercive control; coercive control is coercive control.

It’s just that since religion used to be universal, old filth found their justification in what they know and created their existing communities of control. That does not mean religion always lends itself towards more coercion. Belief in a greater purpose is a great rationale to endure and go on to create astonishing projects.

That’s a pretty bad misreading. These are about how material accretion is not to be valued too much, especially in comparison to kindness and serving God. (The latter story also says “If you wish to be perfect”, not “you must do this to get there”.)

Your parents finding out you’re not a virgin will have you disowned in plenty of Christian households.

That’s sad to hear. Even as an agnostic, I know nicer Christian sects.

That doesn’t allow us to throw up our hands and let murder cults exist.

Most people of faith aren’t those radical maniacs you see on ye olde telly. Radical [blank]s exist in nearly every field you can imagine, and since they’re radical, they’re gonna be vocal and take over all your anger-driven feed. To assert that all religions fester and allow hate simply isn’t true. Radicals will turn to everything they can find to justify their stupid beliefs.

Christians are not obligated to give up sex or “all early possessions”. At most they’re just obligated to give up personal trinkets during lent and fund the church. My point is that there is no coercion within Islam to wear a hijab, kinda like how there is no coercion within Christianity to be a virgin.

People who want to oppress women will do it regardless of means. Islam is just an excuse. There are many atheists who use their moral code instead.

To distinguish them, just get their confidence and ask them in a safe environment.

Hijab is supposed to be voluntary under Islamic scripture. Islam does not include anything about having to impose anything on others. Attempting to downvote you results in a server error.

Should I feel attacked

It’s more like southern US. On LGBT, there’s no government stance (except there can’t be themed establishments apparently), but there’s a lot of conservatives who don’t like it. I forgot how it was with feminism, which is probably around the average of the US.

Are you saying that you’ve tarred and feathered my motherboard in place of zip ties‽

Yeah, my bad. I misattributed it to the Green Party when I originally posted this.

nevermind, sorry, I read it wrong. The article earlier talks about a 28-year-old Green candidate before suddenly switching to a Left candidate (pictured), also 28-year-old. That’s what I get for late-night posting. I’ve edited the title.

The German Green Party is apparently the successor to their socialist party
