I guess since Al-julani can tie a tie he convinced folks this wasnt the isis caliphate 2.0. But, shit is getting very bad. If you have a weak stomach, you shouldn’t look at the first link.

If this is your first response to that, you’re a bigger piece of shit than I imagined.
So you post clips of people of one religion torturing people of another religion and I’m not supposed to think that religion is a bad thing?
All around the world, and throughout history, people are murdered/tortured/abused etc every day over religion. How doesn’t religion poison everything?
Have you told us the story about when the priest touched you? I can’t remember. Your contempt for religion is really something else.
Personally I think these are all fair questions and it’s interesting how people try to shame you for asking.
As a non-religious person, I think religion is a good thing. When practiced in moderation like everything else. The problems when you get the zealots that lurch to the extremes.
But I can’t help but make the observation, like @dbjork6317, that much of history’s violence is due to religion.
Except they aren’t all different religions. Alawites are Muslim too.

That doesn’t make my point any less salient.
The fact that every time I post anything critical of religion people jump to “he must be one of the millions of people who were sexually abused in church” only further proves my point.
I think it’s more just symptomatic of the acute self loathing, loneliness, and suffocating emptiness. That and the obesity.
Does marriage poison everything? Have husbands and wives not killed each other for things related to being married over thousands of years? Let's go a step further and add love. How many crimes have been committed bc of that one? Is it poison too?
The next time we go somewhere like Iraq or Afghanistan, we should just take over the country and stay. Adding a permanent American territory would help stabilize that area. It would give a place for modern/moderate Muslims (particularly women) to go and not be persecuted as well.
Also wouldn't hurt keeping Russia and China in line either. Having to continually go to to other countries to fight wars that are not our own is not going to stop unless we just become an isolationist country. History has proven that. Having our own territory in that part of the world would either make it more infrequent, or at least make it easier from a logistical standpoint if we have to do it again.

What's the objection if we are going to spend years fighting wars there anyway?
I don't disagree, but history says that is not going to happen. Also, I know the answer to why not have a territory there. Our laws, do not fit their culture, it just wouldn't work.
It's just frustrating to see our kids over there fighting for years at a time knowing when they leave, it's jus a matter of time before all the good that was done no longer exists.
