The recent incident from a school in Muzaffarnagar highlights, once again, how many of India’s institutions, and its people, are failing the country’s Muslims.

    That is a false equivalence.

    It is also not true that religion is the cause of most hate. That’s simply not believable in a world where money/possession exists.

    Your post really comes across as incredibly immature and extremely bigoted. You can fix that.

        People give themselves that excuse religion just happens to be the justification. Look at how many hateful atheists there are wanting to force people to abandon religion because they do not find value in it.

          How many? Also, from that point of view religious people are hatefully pushing their beliefs on others.

          People have a right to their religion, or lack-there-of. My point was that religions give permission to hate (in the text), and that’s not ok.

            Most religions I am aware of do not give you permission to hate in the text. Hate is a sin in Abrahamism and depending on whom it is directed at can be incredibly serious if you believe.

                That’s not advocating hate. That’s a moronic religious law about not working on the sabbath which many do not follow.

                  It’s literally “kill people who aren’t your religion”. How is that not hate?

                  Edit: also, to revisit the point: it’s in the text

                    It’s not though. It’s kill the people in your religion who don’t follow its laws.

                    And again Christians and Muslims have their own justifications for why they are not obligated to follow the laws of Judaism.

          TIL asking for religion to not be involved in secular government and a mean comment on social media is “forced” in the exact same sense of the world the theists of world are doing to us.
