If the left wants to critque religious freedom. The left must critique the black church and critque Islam.
That's a nonsensical statement. No one HAS to critique anything. We do it or don't do it of our own free will.
But if you insist -
Many black churches, like many white churches, speak in tongues and writhe on the floor and pay for the mansions and limos of fat cat preachers. I think that's well, um, weird. But they're free to do it.
As for Islam, it parallels Christianity, sharing the same basic books derived from the Jews that both Muslims and Christians have persecuted throughout history, as well as sharing a special reverence for a Jewish personage named Jesus, who may or may not be based on a real person, but who is not particularly revered by Jews. Go figure.
These books from the Bronze Age are extremely interesting to historians and anthropologists for the light they shed on how people lived and structured their societies early in written history. Today, many/most members of each of those three religions take those books as allegories/inspiration that are foundational to contemporary religious beliefs. Again, weird, but they're free to do it.
Some of the members of each of these three religions still take those books as the literal truth, though, and that can take some of them over the line from being ordinarily weird to actively murderous, instigating individual crimes, trying to take over governments, and even urging total war, which they fervently desire to happen during their lifetimes. This isn't weird - it's flat out insane. The sooner they just stop already, the safer the world will be.
Every atheist I’ve ever known has been critical of others religions. I think what you mean is that Islam should not be allowed to exist or practice freely while fundamentalist Christianity should be favored if not imposed by the state.
Raise my hand. I’m an atheist & I think ALL religion is a scam.
Like electing a President that "Grabs them by the PU$$Y"?
Or sleeps with porn stars while his wife is at home with the baby?
Can our President finish a press statement without dropping a F bomb or saying Bull$hit?
Mr. Barr if you want to see American Decay of Judeo-Christian beliefs just look down the hall.
This. All he is doing is decrying people's right to hate and discriminate. A hundred years ago he'd be arguing about how his freedoms to lynch was being assaulted.
I won't be surprised if Barr is indicted and sent to prison in the next year.
What do you mean, "taking baby parts?" That makes no sense. Cheers!
It’s just fundamentalist Christian hyperbole describing abortion.
