Ok, I am going to try from now on to post stories about how religion creates human cruelty and stupidity in this thread. Most recently I posted in another thread about an Iranian woman imprisoned for 12 years for blasphemy of Islam and their politicians. But of course this is not unique one religion. Even in Buddhist countries artists have been arrested for merely depicting the Buddha with headphones on.
The irony of the east is that while it is still stuck in the past, we do see cracks trying to break their theocratic chains, while America's right wing sees liberalism and secularism growing so they are trying to keep that cat in the bag and turn back the clock. Here is another example of how religion poisons society. You'd think after the Monkey Trial and more recently the Dover Trial, the right would get the message, but no, they still insist on replacing science with books of myth.
Feel free when you see a story to add it to this thread, about religious bigotry, cruelty and attacks on science.
