It seems that the obvious response if someone burns your story book, would be to get another copy - or at worst burn their story book.


Once you make that first unreasonable leap of faith, everything that follows seems perfectly reasonable - even this.




It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creed into law if it acquires the political power to do so, and will follow it by suppressing opposition, subverting all education to seize early the minds of the young, and by killing, locking up, or driving underground all heretics.

Why? I held my head up to the monitor.

But really, maybe we all should. This type of exchange will become more common the longer we persist in allowing faith to supersede reason, and allow special pleading for religious ideas.

Except if you see that book as something that, quite literally, contains your god.




Oh good, my slow clap processor made it into this thing.

Very true.


And a fantastically bad reason to get killed for.

Wellll... I <sort of> hate to argue, but every single day is a day longer that people persist in allowing faith to supersede reason. In fact, there are more people alive today that allow faith to supersede reason than have ever been alive in all of recorded history, and yet the amount of death due to religion has decreased on an IKPIB* Ratio.

Interesting.

Not sure religious violence is justified simply because your data suggests it is decreasing.

Have you factored in the effect of increasing levels of emergency and trauma care and the expansion of liberal democratic societies?

Just as the book/ god mix up so to the religion/ action mix up.




Tourism, human circulation considered as consumption is fundamentally nothing more than the leisure of going to see what has become banal.

Let's just agree that all the Abrahamic religions are bad and the world would be better off without them.

The prolonged rioting probably has more to do with foreign occupation than the religion. This thread is presented out of any relevant context. At this time how can we be sure that there even was a burned Koran in the trash?
