By false advertisement Leo, I was talking about what the Religion that the scarf represents stands for. I didn't just say false advertising, I said:
Religion should always be given a chance to defend itself, along with every other belief system - I'm not saying cut any ties completely, certainly not, it's never good to close off the mind - but until it can do that, until it can give evidence - I would not give the delusion that is religion any chance at a free ride to such immoral bullshit. A lot of immorality spurs from this delusional bullshit that is religion. Especially any of the three monotheistic ones.
The delusion of religion and the harm it does are connected. Delusional beliefs being given credit is not a good thing. The scarfs don't' just represent scarfs, they represent injustice, and the free ticket that the delusion that is religion gets in general. It shouldn't be fed a dime until it gives support IMO.

As I said, among other things - it's a symbol of injustice to women, all with no support. It gets a free ticket, it shouldn't. Whenever we think "Religion" we might as well think "Delusion" - and I don't think it's ever a good thing to give delusion - and potentially harmful delusion at that - a free ride. It just doesn't cut it to claim it's 'only a scarf'. It's what it represents that matters. It's not something that should just be taken out of context like that.
