Don’t forget that any still living children must be groomed for the pedophiles.

Jesus couldn’t have said that, Islam don’t exist until centuries after his death.

Now would he have said it? Well, smart people are saying he would have. Very smart people. Some say the smartest people really.

/s for clarity. Jesus likely would have had no problem washing a Muslim’s feet or breaking bread with them — which is what he teaches to do for all your neighbours.

Fun fact: Jesus is a prophet in Islam and appears many times in the Quran.

I was rolling my eyes at the first sentence and I busted out laughing at the third. Excellent setup and punchline.

Killing for religion is something I don't understand.

And yet it's a tale as old as humanity. I sometimes wonder if I'm wrong, because I'm literally not that into anything. The list of things I'd kill for is super small. Shit, I was in the Marines, and halfway through my enlistment I was like what the fuck, and count myself lucky I didn't have to go to war. At that time, my biggest fear was that I'd have to kill someone because they were going to kill one of my guys, a real head fuck for someone who doesn't want to kill anyone.

Yeah, killing, just not for me. And I've given my opinion online before, and people have talked very cavalier about killing, and I've always just imagined it would be the kind of thing that you would never, ever stop thinking about, whether you were justified in doing so or not.

So yeah, to be so into something unproven that you're willing to kill for it, I kinda envy it. I want to know what that's like, because I just cannot get my head around it.

No different from killing for an ideology which lots of people around here seem to endorse.

Every time I read a headline about Iran, I hear the acoustic riff in my head...

Phew, I'm glad at least one person got it.

Your comment got me to relisten to all of Rust in Peace, so rock on. 🤘

Think of it like this:

It's people who were gonna murk kids anyway, this is just the best excuse for them to lean into because you're supposed to respect it.

You're right, I'm embarrassed for not catching that

Surrounded by awful people who would see this and love it unironically

This was inspired by a convo with family if that makes you feel better

To be fair, no child is Muslim. Just like no child is Christian or Jewish.
