But we all know the religious cant help themselves. They’d travel across the galaxy to make their delusions your reality

    Sooo… you don’t claim the three most destructive conflicts ever waged - WW1, WW2, and the (so-called) “Cold War” - was “guided by religion” (whatever the edgelord brainrot-sufferes think that means) and you assume that (somehow) proves your point?

      I just love the way you keep building your argument on things that were never said. What do the commandments say? Thou shalt not bear false witness? Oof. Guess you’re going to hell, buddy.

        This you?

        Ah, yes, one of approximately three major conflicts not guided by religion.

        Does being an edgelord come with selective amnesia, perhaps?

          And at what point in that quote did I mention World War I or the Cold War? I didn’t. Not to mention the fact that the figure I gave was sarcasm. I would think the way I said it might give that away, but here we are.

          I’ll make it simple for you: essentially every major conflict man has ever experienced has been the result of one group deciding that their sky genie is better than another group’s, so that means it’s alright to kill them. Even the ones that preach love and acceptance put a giant fucking asterisk on it. Buddhism is the only real exception, and that’s because it’s not even a religion in the same way the others are.

          Christians? Ongoing conflicts in the middle east, with the dumbest and most evil amongst them calling it a “holy war”.

          Catholics? A history of pedophilia, rape and murder stretching from the crusades all the way up until now.

          Muslims? Same shit different name.

          And yes, it’s obviously not all INSERT RELIGIOUS GROUP HERE, but that doesn’t change the fact that hatred and othering of those who don’t agree is a core tenet of all major religions.

            So you actually are trying to claim WW1 or the Cold War was driven by religion?

            Not to mention the fact that the figure I gave was sarcasm.

            Howzabout a real one, then? Count the wars that you think wasn’t caused by religion - shouldn’t be too difficult. After all, the list cannot possibly be long (according to you), can it?

            ssentially every major conflict man has ever experienced has been the result of one group deciding that their sky genie

            Quick, call the historians! This genius right here has figured it all out! War is never about all-pervading imperialist exploitation, complicated class dynamics or geopolitical competition… NO! It’s all about a “sky genie!”

            Who coulda thunk it, eh?

            Where the fuck did you get your history from, genius! Playing Age Of Empires, maybe?

            Christians? Ongoing conflicts in the middle east,

            I hate to break it to you, Clyde… but the white supremacist empires haven’t required religion to justify white supremacist slaughter since the (so-called) “Enlightenment.” Care to explain that, perhaps?

            who don’t agree is a core tenet of all major religions.

            Really?

He will be regarded as one who has corrupted the oath of God, disbelieved His Testament, rejected His Authority, despised His Religion, and made himself deserving of His Curse, whether he is a Sultan or any other believer of Islam.

              Gotta be real here, your lack of reading comprehension skills is deeply, deeply depressing, and the fact that you demonize anyone who disagrees with you just repeatedly proves my point.

              Edit: Forgot to mention, I blocked you after making this comment. You have flipped your position like six times, and have even made outright contradictory statements. It’s not worth dealing with such a blatant bad actor as yourself.
