The recent incident from a school in Muzaffarnagar highlights, once again, how many of India’s institutions, and its people, are failing the country’s Muslims.

    Religions tend to give people permission to hate, if they’re looking for one

        Look at how many hateful atheists there are wanting to force people to abandon religion

        How many? Also, from that point of view religious people are hatefully pushing their beliefs on others.

        People have a right to their religion, or lack-there-of. My point was that religions give permission to hate (in the text), and that’s not ok.

                It’s literally “kill people who aren’t your religion”. How is that not hate?

                Edit: also, to revisit the point: it’s in the text

                    Now while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks on the Sabbath day. 33 And those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation. 34 They put him under guard, because it had not been explained what should be done to him.

                    35 Then the Lord said to Moses, “The man must surely be put to death; all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp.” 36 So, as the Lord commanded Moses, all the congregation brought him outside the camp and stoned him with stones, and he died.

                    Nowhere does it say he was Christian, he was just an old man in the woods. If the religions no longer believe it, it should be removed. Otherwise it’s used for hate.

                    Edit, spelling

        TIL asking for religion to not be involved in secular government and a mean comment on social media is “forced” in the exact same sense of the world the theists of world are doing to us.
