This is why islam is vomitously evil.

And here's an example why anything resembling a religion is bad: http://m.timesofindia.com/city/bengaluru...512644.cms

In short, a guy chopped off his finger to show gratitude to god for helping some politician stay out of jail.

Sometimes I have to wonder why religion isn't being treated as a mental illness yet, despite all these cases of self-harm being directly caused by religion.

Thank you. There is no such thing as a perfect religion or unifying religion. People get stuck on a moment in time and that is the mistake of selection bias and sample rate error. Every religion has flaws in logic and bad claims that lead humans to do stupid shit. And I cant state this enough, while religion should be considered a poison to logic, we still live in an imperfect messy world, so the only pragmatic thing we can do, without becoming monsters ourselves, is use debate and education and secular law to manage delusions to a civil degree.
