At this rate I will welcome Islam with enthusiasm.
I much prefer Christianity. Among other things they are not allowed to bear false witness to advance their cause, and they don't murder people who won't convert.
And peace comes from the Holy Spirit, not the carnal satisfactions of conquest or motivational speakers telling you how amazing you are.
Eh, that's not strictly true. Take a look at the spread of Christianity through Europe and you'll see plenty of "covert or die" going down. It's just not an approach they've used in recent history.
Weakness.
More weakness.
I’m sure Leftists would agree. Leftists are what you get when a society rejects Christianity and goes full atheist.
Every western society that rejects Christianity ends up losing its mind and embracing collectivism and authoritarianism.
I also note that most anti-theists are like homosexuals in that they almost always had some childhood trauma that fuels their anti-religious resentment. Simple atheists rarely harbor such resentment, and many even recognize the value of Christianity and religion in general.
It is because human psychology needs religion at a fundamental level. If you remove theism you need to replace it with something else that looks like a religion: like being a social justice warrior. We need things that feel like altruism, penance, universal justice, agape/brotherhood, and deifications of good and evil. Either we'll find those things through faith or they will be imposed on us by the state or culture.
(the Based Atheist only proves the exception to the rule)
Or they could realise the dangers of religion? Religion has no value except for controlling the masses.
I didn't downvote until you complained about downvoting, then I did because ha ha
This works great when all power (priviledges and responsibilites) in a society is withheld from people who wish to be slaves. That does not fit the USA. I don't personally believe it's possible to uplift every person to self-actualization.
I think there are two possible remedies: stratify the citizenry into tiers of power, or de-scale into citystates so the city hives may not vote alongside the rural men.
we've been doing that
look what it got us
maybe the fundies had it right
Times like these, it's worth noting the Taliban actually temporarily ended the practice of bacha bazi (rape of feminized underage boys on a mass scale) in Afghanistan by killing the people indulging in it - and this crackdown was one of the reasons why the Afghan populace preferred them over the warlords preceding them.
It only came back because of the Coalition invasion, as those same warlords have become our valiant allies in defending Democracy™ and Human Rights™ and Coalition forces have been ordered to turn a blind eye to their habitual boy-rape for the past 20 years we've been in A-stan. Vice did a rather famous documentary about it back when they still did anything remotely resembling journalism at all.
This is What Winning Looks Like
Ugh, this was 2017. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_h6TXJBDj9o
We deserved to lose.
I understand the sentiment but wholeheartedly disagree. Islam is just a nightmare of a different kind.
But one the woke can’t call out…
Make no mistake, Islam and the Woke Left converge at the same point, which is why they’re allies despite appearing to be polar opposites. Islam puts on a facade of morality but in reality they encourage pedophilia same as the perverts on the Left do… they just invoke Muhammed’s name to give it a veneer of righteous justification.
Either side you choose, it eventually leads to the oppression of women, the abuse of children, sexual perversion, and the unquestionable supreme authority of the state.
