Some Questions for Believers

[comet]

Did you get everything else?

Yeah.

.... Or 'He's jerking off' to the thought of blaming religion for genocide.

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.

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?

key wording here "can be used by sick people". what can't be used? take out country, flags, color, religion we will come up something else. When humans do not need a "set of rules" for group interactions then religion's control component will go away.
