The Politics & Religion Thread

who gives a shit about religion? getting rid of refugees is the more urgent matter. elect the government that will throw them out!
 
One of the reasons atheism has seen significant growth for some time now, is even while Christianity held mainstream sway in western society its been allowed for people to openly criticize and or mock it. Quite the contrast to what is happening on other fronts here.

Yes sadly you often get called a racist for mocking Islam which is big time bull shit but the same goes for jews as well if you attack their faith they draw the "Holocaust" card at once and that is also bullshit. Monotheistic religion with all the proof and knowledge we have today that it was made up as a means to control and enslave people has no place in the world and should always be attacked and questioned. This will become more commonplace and more accepted, just look at Nile they have made songs attacking islam and to my knowledge that was just fine.
 
Cant we all just accept that we are just a mere simulation inside a Great Computer of the Greatest Programmer?

I've witnessed too many randomness and bullshit to believe something or someone didnt plot it against me.

I mean, maybe. I'm not sure criticism of Judaism is comparable. It may be different over the pond there, so correct me if it is, but despite the fact that afluent Jews certainly are blatant about protecting their own and helping raise them to success in areas over here, ever since I was younger it was not uncommon to hear people cracking jokes about Jewish stereotypes, and or levying criticism etc both behind closed doors and in the media. You know, the kind of stuff that derives this violent "racism" response when applied to criticising and or mocking Islam today.

This no platforming mentality on the left these days...the absolutel refusual to talk about these issues at face value and throwing out the racism charge to anyone that does bring it up is a BIG part of the problem. They're causing people that are closer to their set of ideals to get more and more frustrated as they levy these claims, and refuse to acknowledge the situation needs accessment, driving those people to be stuck in relation to the other extreme, the actual racists that take things too far, ie:Trump, Arg, Aexalven ( ;) ).
