Criticizing Islam is racist?

[MTL]

Do you guys despise anyone who disowns their own child once finding out that the child no longer believes in their pet fantasy?
We know religion does this. It has the power to completely distort an otherwise healthy persons mind to the point of destroying/breaking up families.

I hate ALL these types of people whether they be middle America or the Middle East.
It's the illogical way of thinking we hate, nothing else.
Islam, Christianity, etc are all subsets of corrupt thinking, as are thieves, pedophiles, rapists.
It's all about satisfying that deluded ego where if the parent disowns a child who doesn't want to believe, then what does the parent think is going to happen?
The parent thinks that in the next life they will be treated favourably as they chose to not live among heathens. Again, the ultimate form of arrogance and selfishness.

I think this is where MTL is coming from. Call that word whatever you want.

That's certainly part of it.

My views on religion brought the ire of multiple family members down on me,
and my grandparents refused to talk to me simply after finding out I defended LGBT rights,
and then came down heavily on my father, as if it was his fault that I have a mind of my own.

I basically believe in personal accountability for using your head.

I find religion largely repugnant but yet I respect people's right to believe in it.

However, if a Theist is determined to engage me on the subject,
and won't take advantage of my repeated evasive answers
or the opportunities I give them to back-out of the discussion they've opened
(said opportunities being presented because I think they're a nice person and I know this will be harsh for them)...

...so be it.

They will be confronted with the horrors of their religion
and the hypocrisy of the fact that they eschew those horrors
yet ultimately choose to not only remain part of the organization,
but recruit for it.
