Understanding the Ramadan Massacre in Orlando (David Wood)

[Wyrd of Gawd]

Read the biographies of Mo, Jesus and the Buddha, to a 5-year-old, and even they can see that one of these was an infinitely more violent role model than the others. Yes, all religions are stupid, but it's just as stupid to believe they're all as equally violent.

As Sam Harris says: religion is a nearly useless term; it's a term like "sports"; now there are sports like badminton, and there are sports like Thai Boxing; and they have almost nothing in common, apart from breathing.

Yeah, Islam is the worst. I mean it literally says that the perfect example of a man is a child-fucking slaver from the 6th century. I think many many people discount how important Muhammad is to Islam.

To be fair a lot of Christians were legal child-fucking slavers to the end of the 19th Century.

We don't claim moral perfection for any of those other people. That's the important part. If Christians and Jews were claiming that a pedophile and slaver was morally perfect, I'd have the same problem with them.

Where do you draw the pedophile line? Mary would likely have been about 14 when God is supposed to have knocked her up.

According to the Babylonian Talmud Bathsheba was 6 when David knocked her up.  So if Mary made it to 14 she was an old maid by then.  David would have tapped her long before that.  BTW, the Babylonian Talmud has a lot of essays on how to screw kids.
