Well said! I think I agree with pretty much all of that

Islam is just one religion. It’s not all religions and not all religious people are like that. Not even all followers of Islam are like that. Dislike a person for what they have done. Don’t dislike a person for what they believe. I’m not suggesting that no one has done anything bad for a religion at all. I’m saying hating a person simply because they identify as a part of a religion is extremely shortsighted and makes this world worse
Ah, I see. Well to explain what I mean, I was saying that the message he was converting could be misinterpreted and imo it should be stated more prominently what he actually means so that he doesn’t sound like one of these people. For the record, I am specifically referring to the last part of his message
Are you suggesting that there is not one single person who hates religious people? All I’m saying is that people should accept other people and leave them to believe what they want to believe. I don’t think any reasonable person would disagree with that freedom
You’re absolutely right. That is a very important distinction to make. One which I think should be more actively emphasised. There are absolutely people who hate people for being religious. Definitely want to clarify to make it clearer what is meant
Obviously I can understand not liking it when people single out one group and ignore another. But am I correct in understanding that you’re saying you like people more for “hating” groups of people who are different to you? Don’t get me wrong, there are without question aspects of certain religions which are harmful. But saying that hating every religious person is a good thing is way over the top. Everyone deserves to be respected and treated well, not hated because of their beliefs.
I think I agree
I am generally curious what you mean by centrist nut jobs? The whole point of the centre is to be somewhere in the middle and therefore the best of both worlds that everyone has something in common with as far as I’m concerned
