Inferior to what, exactly? Christianity?

If the beef is with religion in general, it begs the question of why focus on muslims?

I have friends who are practicing muslims, jews, christians, hindi and buddhist. They're good people.

Sorry for bringing Hitler card so early on the table, but there were quite a few people in SS/CheKa who you would consider "good".

People doing X and being good do not count toward X not being bad.

I'd just like to note for the record that none of my friends are operating death camps or starting a world war.

Yesterday, at least one American did at least one bad thing, somewhere. Are you culpable for that? Are you inferior?

So far in this conversation, the post I responded to identified muslims, jews, blacks and gays as morally inferior. I objected, and you're tripling down on the assertion. Am I misunderstanding you?

But they would if they were allowed to. They want to criminalize abortion? That's women lives on the line. "Pro life" is actually "pro death of poor under-age mothers from bleeding from illegal abortion", always call them that.

They want to make porn illegal? They just made everyone a felon, and they can pull anyone over and land him in a camp. Even fascist didn't have such a good tool. CheKa grade.

They want to tinker with age of consent? They'll make a 16 year old girl and her 17 year old boyfriend both felons. Is that nice?

They agree to predatory, murderous, bloody ideas all the time and they are still "good people". As a group they do that. That's so nice of them.

I try to find one thing religious people are getting right over agnostics/atheists and I seriously can't think of one.

UPD: I'm not saying people are inferior, just that their beliefs are and they would be better off without those.
