Quote:.... Or 'He's jerking off' to the thought of blaming religion for genocide.Would you argue that a religion that doesn't explicitly instruct genocide (or any murderous act) cannot be blamed as a contributing factor even if it propagates vitriol against an entire group as the actual event of a genocide or a violent oppression is nearly always preceded by the dehumanization of that group? Even if that religion's most important texts easily lend themselves to be used as hate-filled propaganda?
It's real simple. If a religion commands genocide then genocide can be attributed to said religion. If not then it does not, then no matter what people claim To do in the name of a deity, it has nothing to do with said deity.
