But in your mind it proves the idiocy of religion? IF you somehow believe that she deserved being murdered because of her faith then your emotions come from the same spring of hate.
What does it proving the idiocy of religion have to do with her deserving it? It is an example of the violence that religion incites (so yes, it does matter what they argued over).
"Sisters, you know only the north; I have traveled in the south lands. There are churches there, believe me, that cut their children too, as the people of Bolvangar did--not in the same way, but just as horribly. They cut their sexual organs, yes, both boys and girls; they cut them with knives so that they shan't feel. That is what the Church does, and every church is the same: control, destroy, obliterate every good feeling. So if a war comes, and the Church is on one side of it, we must be on the other, no matter what strange allies we find ourselves bound to."
