For all the love and understanding talk, religions sure do murder a lot of people.

This is true, although to be fair, most ideological groups seem to once they get a certain level of power and influence. -

Samuel Hautamäki (sirobsidian@fosstodon.org)'s status on Tuesday, 27-Aug-2024 22:58:26 JST Samuel Hautamäki @aral Guns aren't Actor objects. Guns are used as a tool for murder, while religion has been used as a justification for it.
Turns out it's a lot easier for people to take lives when they think it's morally right, even when they have really different reasons for it.

unexpectedteapot (unexpectedteapot@social.linux.pizza)'s status on Tuesday, 27-Aug-2024 23:06:24 JST unexpectedteapot @aral it's even more absurd when a brown person talks about Islam (while being born in a Muslim country) and white people would flat out call you racist and ban you from the online spaces they control. "Islamophobia" is the word now used in the West to enact blasphemy laws there too. I guess even if one immigrated away from being oppressed, tortured, imprisoned and killed, the far reaching hands of religious propaganda will have a say in our lives... It surely fucking sucks.

unexpectedteapot (unexpectedteapot@social.linux.pizza)'s status on Tuesday, 27-Aug-2024 23:10:12 JST unexpectedteapot @aral it's literally written on the birth certificate of newborns in many Muslim-controlled countries. (And in Islam converting away from it is punishable by death.) Western people have no idea how messed up things are over here.
