I mean, you were flat out wrong above as demonstrated, so it's all good for me. you can keep redefining what you class as abuse but that's for your fucked up mind to deal with, not ours (I just hope you're not around children too much judging by this). So here's a picture of a seal photobombing some penguins for the lulz of everyone else. Enjoy.
Apparently you haven't watched the video, the guy compared a girls parents (american) to the taliban. I fail to see the connection between the girls parents and Nigeria.
Two can play that game, Stalin (an atheist) has a body count three times higher than Hitler, making atheists worse than Nazis.
The process of indoctrination is exactly the goddamn same, though, ain't it?
So the Taliban exist in a society where murder and killing as a result of that indoctrination is ok as the rule of law is near non-existent (or, to be more accurate, the rule of law is governed by that same indoctrination).
Only difference as i see it (using the entirety of history as my benchmark) is that in the US you've got a society governed by a rule of law that should prevent that same indoctrination causing the carnage it does in Afghanistan (I say should because there's still the odd one killin' in the name o' Jesus!). Yeah you could call it a slippery slope but I negate that with
the examples cited where abuse has flourished in Christian organizations or congregations when the rule of law is either abused or ignored by those same groups (eg. RCC nunneries stealing children away from other children and selling them to other families often with threats against the birth mothers).
And when we reduce it down, abuse is abuse. the nature may vary, the severity may vary, the method may vary, but it's still goddamn abuse. And all in the name of the holy lord, JEEBUS BE PRAISED!
Also, Fidel_Castronaut ain't killed anyone you schmuck.
