Don't make anyone else live by YOUR religious rules. Don't use YOUR religion to take away anyone's rights and freedom.

So weird to see women in Iran fight this oppression and then in my non islamic country, white women are fighting to keep it.

Now do it worldwide.

Does that oppression include executing gay men in Iran? Their protests don't seem to cover it yet

Death to organized religion everywhere. Time to rip off the band aid society. No fairy tales, no holiday magic people, just reality. Enough.

Use their religious rules against them. Jack off the Islamic talks on youtube.
CedricDur
The problem with religion has always been the same at its heart: power, expansion, tribute, the ability to command the lower classes who act
CedricDur
ually believe in gods and magic. Expand expand expand, overtake other religions, be -the- religion.
georgedragonslayer
Well, if I follow those rules, religion is worthless.

This should be the number one rule of all societies. It's so basic and fundamental decency, yet Humanity just can't seem to get there.

MrCroupAndMrVandemar
Treat your religion like you treat your dick. Enjoy it. Be proud of it. But don’t force it on others and DO NOT expose it to children.
AgnosticPaladin
And don't take it out in public (unless it's *that* kind of public). I fully agree.
WenTheEternallySurprised
It's not about any one faith...it's about orthodoxy and the use of faith as a weapon. It's a cancer on all cultures and always has been.
404GravitassNotFound
Faith reinterpretted in 1979 .
LocalUnassumingGuy
Religious faith is what is dangerous, convincing people it's the right thing to believe without evidence is objectively dangerous to society
StormierDeer
So much yes !
TsubakiTragic
There's a single word for this cancer (apart from 'cancer')... power.
Goldensands
Organised religions have only ever been faith as a weapon.
TheYoungerChrisEvans
Because, inherently, the problems is bad humans. Organized religion is just a tool used to oppress, but our species can use anything.

I've recently re-watched Book of Eli and whooo the writers really nailed it on the head.

There are extras for that movie, in the form of comic-book-style animations. One is the backstory for Gary Oldman's character. Great video.

There's the actual truth of the matter. Eliminate religion and something else will take its place. Blame the carpenter, not the hammer.
BiologyIsInevitable
So what, exactly, would take it's place? When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. THATS why it's religion that's gtg.
Goldensands
This is such a filthy, defeatist failure mentality. Yes there will always be bad! So just tolerate the evil we know! Cmon dude, do better.
WenTheEternallySurprised
Whoa whoa whoa there, that's a HUGE fucking leap from "always be evil" to "sit back and accept it." Don't put words like that in my mouth.
WenTheEternallySurprised
second comment-I really am amazed you'd make such a false and shitty accusation. You are utterly stupid, and rude as fuck.
LocalUnassumingGuy
The carpenter hammer analogy doesn't fit, the hammer doesn't give specific instructions to the carpenter on how to live, under pain of hell.
WenTheEternallySurprised
Forgive me for failing to analyze all of history's religion in 140 characters.
BiologyIsInevitable
It's a shitty analogy.
SkaerKrowe
My vote is to just kill religion entirely. It's the oldest scam in the world.

It's also saved a lot of people so. Every coin has two sides

I understand the feeling, but I'm not willing to go that far. I just wish it would die. Laws and morals are good enough rules to live by.

Eh, it'll just get replaced with some new system of oppression. Power and greed are the root here, let people believe what they want just
Strategicgnomer
Don't let them dictate other's lives without consent. Let consent be king.
shepahrdjhon
So everyone should ignore whatever they have believed in for years immediately because some edgeloard says so. How is any different?
shepahrdjhon
You are advocating for imposing your belief systems on everyone who doesnt believe in them. And it has happened historically and was bad.
shepahrdjhon
I am not talking about China or USSR. Look up Muti'zalla Islam and Al Mamon's Minha. Basically he tried to force a progressive idealogy.
shepahrdjhon
A similar thing happened in Afghanistan and was the reason for the Soviet invasion. That guy literally attacked mosques even the Soviets
shepahrdjhon
thought he was going too far and wanted him out. The religious far right extremists, who formerly had no support, used this to rally.
BobRossHB
As a former catholic, I hate them and the vatican. Hords wealth and secrets away historic stuff. Care more about the soul than the person

Religions will just be replaced with other ideologies that will be used to control people.

Freedoms can conflict without any one of them being clearly the infringing one. Of course, some times it's easy to tell.

Look up Positive vs Negative freedoms for those who aren't familiar. Libertarians who don't differentiate are just anarcho facist.

At least when it gets physical. Its more complicated in the abstract. You have a right to be happy, i can still fuck your mum tho.

Even in that case, she has a right to be happy; the sons right can't supersede hers right?

Assuming sex with me implies happiness for both parties, yes.

That's the same argument pro-birth people are using.
zerogiven
That someone is applying an argument badly doesn't invalidate the original argument. In abortion, only one person's rights are at stake.
thinkybrainpains
woman removing cells from her own body is about only that woman's rights. no one else is infringed upon. not getting vaxxed affects others.
Higure
It's a matter of philosophy when a fetus gains personhood. There is no objective answer, and you can't logic it one way or another.
Higure
However, even granting a fetus full personhood, the mother should have the right not to donate her womb to it. That's a better approach IMO.

sleepinggreenidea
Don't lose sight of the fact that the protests in Iran are against govt oppression in general rather than specifically religious oppression.
nojustsayitdont
It's Iran. No separation between the Govmt and the religion.
sleepinggreenidea
The oppressive gov't is religious in nature, but a lot of the (quite righteous) grievances have nothing to do with religion in particular.
thinkybrainpains
do you know the definition of the word theocracy?
Sechran
Iran is one of the hardest theocracies in operation today - separating out the government from their religion is a pretty futile endeavor.
sleepinggreenidea
You've done a great job of ignoring what I wrote. Most of the discontent is against the gov't's broad tyranny, but Western media has laser-
Sechran
You're not being ignored - you're being disagreed with. The inciting incident wouldn't have happened if not for Iran's hyper-theocracy.
sleepinggreenidea
You're not disagreeing with what I wrote, you're disagreeing with what you'd've preferred for me to have written. The inciting incident
sleepinggreenidea
could not have led to the widespread reaction that it has if not for numerous ongoing issues that have nothing to do with Islam, and
sleepinggreenidea
focused on the religious tyranny in the inciting incident - even while ignoring non-religious aspects of it (e.g., the victim was Kurdish)
Yupurineutah
So what was she murdered for?
sleepinggreenidea
That misses the point - willfully? This is much bigger than Mahsa Amini's death, and trying to reduce it to that is at best naive.
