It's not a simple either or though, it's a complicated matter. Religion is only one part of a person's identity. If you grow up in a liberal society, you're more likely to accept liberal ideas. I would bet during WWII that nazis growing up in Germany and nazis in the United States had different degrees of extremism.…

nah more JMP's posts.

I never said religion is responsible for all the world's wars and atrocities. Stop putting words in my mouth. I said it has been one of the worst forces throughout human history and I'll stand by that. But obviously non-religious and atheist people are capable of being bad people just as religious people are capable…

JMP every post you've made has been a strawman. I never said anyone was inherently evil because of their religion. I said the ideology is bad. If we were in a parallel universe where nazism had spread to 1.5 billion people, and only say 5% were actually out there attempting to kill Jews, would you be ok accepting…

If they were doing it I'd hate Christianity a lot more. They're not, while in Muslim countries women who are even accused of not being virgins on their wedding nights are stoned to death. We could keep going but it doesn't seem like you're interested in using your brain much…

If you read the rest I clearly believe that today Islam is the worst religion on the planet. Religion as a…

Islam is not an identity, it is a religion which is chosen. It is a religion whose prophet recited the following:

I do have a problem with religion. I'm a pretty strong atheist who think that religion has been the single most dangerous force throughout human history. But today, Islam is the worst. It has the most people taking it literally, it is growing rapidly, and it is the religion of I believe 19 of the bottom 20 countries…

My entire point was that religion is fucked. It also happens that some religious beliefs are more dangerous than others. If you are a Muslim who rejects all the fucked up things in the Quran and hadiths, we can be friends and I can like you as a person even if I question why you consider yourself a Muslim (I think the…

Why did this article single out Conservatism? Socialist governments have murdered people before too.
