I hear that Muslims think that anyone that is not blessed in their religion, even infants, will go to hell. They have a single religious leader that has absolute control over their theocratic state and has influence over leaders from around the world (historically, even power over them). They have a history of holy wars, torture of those of other faith, and holding back any knowledge and scientific progress that challenges their doctrine. They adorn their holy places with devices of torture and execution. And they practice ritualistic cannibalism of a holy man regularly, even feeding it to their children.
Oh sorry... that's Catholics.
You're just describing abrahamic religions. This thread is honestly concerning. I grew up in the middle east and I hate seeing this much tolerance of Islam because I experienced the worst of it but oh no people think it's cool and trendy to allow the athan to play t times a day in little fucking Mogadishu now
Fuck any public broadcasting of religion and separate church and state
I'm not defending either religion. I said elsewhere in the thread that I think the Bible and the Quran are full of barbarism and unfit to be a moral guide for anyone. I just love to point out the hypocrisy of American Christians that deem other faiths 'weird' and 'menacing' without acknowledging their own similar flaws just because they have normalized and contextualized their religion and fail to do it for others.
I cant say that I really care about public expression, religious or otherwise, so long as it is not a nuisance (unless it is protest and that nuisance is the point). I dont know how loud the public prayer calls are or at what hours it runs, so I cant really say if it meets that level of nuisance or not. Religion isn't my jam, and I dont want it forced upon me in terms of policy and law. Theocracy is a fucking nightmare. As you said, church and state should be separate; they shouldnt even share borders. But everyone has as much right to express their religion in public as we do to critique it. That's fine by me, man.
I completely agree, and allowing athan to be broadcast is, for me, not the same as public expression. A person wearing hijab, sure. That's an individual choice and personal expression . Lobbying the town hall so you can blast prayer 5 times a day to give the neighborhood a religious 'in-group' feel is borderline exclusionary, and not my jam. I get the vibe you haven't been/lived in a Muslim country. The athan is literally nothing but a nuisance to non Muslims. It's like a 5 minute declaration/command for prayer at full volume 5 times a day.
Only some of that is true. Protestants are the ones who think everyone else is definitely hellbound, Catholics believe there's reasonable hope for the salvation of non-believers and the pope they started the year with stirred controversy by saying he personally liked to think hell is empty. Also the Vatican is technically under absolute papal control, but a) it's a square mile in the capital of another country, and b) it doesn't have a military. They can't really do anything with their absolute control except provide sanctuary. Now, I'm not going to act like their sanctuary is uncontroversial, they hid both fascists and their victims, and they do continue to hide their pedos there sometimes, but it's not like they have secret police disappearing people or citizens with no other allegiances, it's the only country you can't be born a citizen of.
