If Genesis is BS, what DID happen?

[Rokcet Scientist]

But still, overthrowing a dictator who enjoyed bourbon to put in place a religious fuckhead who thinks all that is needed is for women to wear bee-keeper suits does not seem like much of an improvement to me.

So far, it seems they are voting for the bee-keeper suits.

If that is determined in a fair democratic process, with freedom of speech, thought, press (media) and of political or religious affiliation, then I have no quarrel with it. I may think it's stupid, but it is what they voluntarily want themselves, for themselves, arrived at without outside pressure or coercion, that's important. Not what you or I want.

Once they have the freedom of choice, religion will wane. Like it did and does in the west. I'm sure you will agree an enlightenment movement in Islam, like the Xtian reformation, will be an improvement. Even if it's not total abolition as you really want. It's better than nothing. And our only sliver of hope, however dim, wishful, and projecting, of eventually realising true abolition of organised religion, if ever.
Though definitely not in this millennium IYAM.
