Religion, not even once.

BassTurd,

Been sober for a good 15 or so years now. It’s never too late to quit.

That’s unfortunately only an option if you’re born in or live in a country that gives you that option.

cmbabul,

It’s a very privileged position to come from but it’s still fucking wild to me the amount of influence religion still holds over the entire planet. It would be hilarious if it weren’t so terrifying

filister,

Western religions are a tool to control people and it was always about power and a false sense of superiority, but in the end it is a giant conspiracy theory where billions are entangled.

Texas_Hangover,

“Western religions?” West of what? India?

corsicanguppy,

Everything’s west of something else.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_religions

I thought this is a well known term that I thought was unnecessary to explain.

But you can also simply use Google to find more information on the topic.

[Edit] Can someone explain to me why when providing a credible link for a term, I am getting downvoted? Seriously!

SuddenlyBlowGreen,

The wester religion of… islam?

filister,

Western religions are supposed to be Christianity, Judaism and Islam, yes Islam is part of it but not the only one.

BirdyBoogleBop,

Abrihamic religions then

TheDankHold,

Why specify western? Confucianism and eastern philosophies are very controlling themselves. India’s backwards caste system is justified by their religion too.

Organized religions are all tools of control. There’s no regional exceptionalism here. Even Buddhism has a body count.

filister,

Simply because I am not so familiar with those religions. What about Buddhism?

fluxion,

If only it was that simple

More Islamofascist misshegas, The Muslims get what they accept, same in Tehran as in Beirut, as in Damascus, as in Sannaa, as in Riyadh, as in Rafah. But but but it's the Jews abusing the Muslims, don't you know, it the Jews, the Jews.

No, all Abrahamic religions are by in large completely fucking garbage. Arguing over which is worse is missing the entire point. They all use the same deceptive language and semantics in order to paint anyone who fights against their ideologies as either apostates or bigots.

Some of us are able to comprehend complexity and hold multiple thoughts in our heads at the same time. It's possible (and the only way to be logically consistent) to understand that:

  • in Iran, Muslim fundamentalists are abusing/killing innocent other Muslims;

  • in Israel, Jewish fundamentalists are abusing/killing innocent Muslims, and Muslim fundamentalists are abusing/killing innocent Jews;

  • in Palestine, Jewish and Muslim fundamentalists are abusing/killing innocent Muslims.

This isn't a weekend football game where you have to pick one side, wear their colours and then support them until the final whistle. This is real life, it's complicated. Don't turn mass suffering into a sport.

sneezymrmilo,

Religion is a fucking plauge that only serves to divide people. When has religion ever done the world any good? Its just sad…

AMDIsOurLord,

This is NOT confirmed. All the media got it from a single news source (Borna News) and the family and doctors have not yet pronounced her brain dead however recovery chance is low right now.

    I recognize what you’re saying here, the Iranian government would prefer women who are incapable of thinking for themselves, but your phrasing is insensitive at best and borderline racist at worst.
