Bullshit. Here is what you wrote:
Quote:all those moderate, decent, ordinary, everyday theists
must ultimately own that they either condone, or wink at, the evils done in the name of their religion,
as long as they consent to continue to be a part of it.
[Bolding added – Thump]
You are clearly tarring them for the actions of others whom they do not know and cannot control.
Now who is guilty of a lack of nuanced thinking?
Can you really not differentiate between OUTRIGHT BLAMING a moderate, everyday American muslim for 9/11,
vs
Respecting the rights of an everyday muslim in every way,
UNTIL they engage me on the subject,
and only THEN asking them why they continue to be part of a religion that is so convoluted and violent???
I am NOT burning crosses in anyone's front yard,
I am not accusing random muslims of plotting 9/11.
Just as I know many Christians support LGBT rights;
I am not blaming them for the gaybashing that other Christians might have done.
But I am saying to them:
You know these atrocious things have been done in the name of your religion, yet you are a good person.
How can you stand to remain part of the same club,
and doesn't it grate at you that your holy book can't be all that Divine
if it is open to such appalling misinterpretation?
