Deadliest religion ever?

[Edwardo Piet]

I already explained to you that I think the statement is a factually inaccurate blanket statement

Hence why you don't understand the scare quotes.

and that the scare quotes are there to express contempt for the phrase stones to death because that's a use of scare quotes.

One of many uses of it and it's bloody obvious that that's not the use here.

The use is to try and push away morons who say the statement is inaccurate when THAT'S NOT THE FUCKING POINT.

It's not meant to be taken literally. 'Stoned to death' means MORE than throwing rocks at someone until they're dead. THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT.

Holy crap you're just being intentionally dense to take advantage of the fact I'm too easily triggered.

It's so fucking obvious as fuck that 'stoned to death' is to get people to catch on to the actual point and not respond like a literal-minded moron.

I also think that statement by Stephen Weinberg is false too, I think that other ideologies can influence people's behaviour just as badly as religion.

Again that's NOT the point.

The point is that religious ideas are very harmful and it's the ideas not the people that are the cause of the harm.

All these objections like taking the 'stoned to death' statement literally or saying "other ideologies are harmful too" is just dodging the fucking point and being petty.

It's the same as those fucking morons that are bigoted against all muslims and called a racist and their response is "it's not racism because Islam Islam isn't a religion." when that's just an irrelevant truth because it's still BIGOTED AS FUCK.


So much facepalm at all these petty, pedantic and irrelevant truths that always dodge the core point.
