    Who’s in charge of what is and is not “intolerant”?

    that’s the problem

    For example, Christianity, Islam, Judaism are ALL intolerant faiths by their own admission.

      i’d say it’s relative to your culture. if you’re a liberal woman growing up in iran or saudi arabia you’re gonna hate your life.

      but this opens up genuine discussions about right/wrong and whatever else.

      the fact of the matter is that we just make up everything about humans and their relations as we go along. there is no real right or wrong, there’s just perspective in any given moment in time and context.

      if there are 34738434739473 iranian women who support their lifestyle and 40000 who don’t then who’s right?

      according to americans the minority is right, but we pretend that they aren’t in america when it comes to domestic concerns.

      whoa.

        They’ve been murdering each other over their religious disagreements for more than a thousand years, long before he ever came along. He just used them, like a tool, to reach his own ends.

        He gave those who believe in such tripe the opportunity to exercise their beliefs “legally”. They are waiting for another opportunity to do their holy work, always. Something something “chosen people”, there can be only one.
