Do the people committing these acts typically deny that their religious views played a role (or were the sole reason) for what they did?

I'm sorry, I just don't buy it. We know how Islam generally treats women in practice. We know how they view chastity. We know how some of them feel about girls even going to school.

Why else would they murder their child, if not because of their religious views?

The way this chart is formatted is making me more angry than it should lol

Since you’re not discussing in good faith

OK, what? Holy shit what a cop out...

I know exactly what you meant, and I'm tired of seeing this "no true Christian" shit everywhere. You don't get to disown these people.

Aghast enough to do a single fucking thing about it?

Shit man, are the ISPs running the sewers now too??

Nice.

The Bible tells you that you get to decide who is a Christian or not?

I'm afraid not, sir/madam. In fact, I believe it says precisely the opposite.

I didn't say they aren't allowed to pray, just not in government buildings. It's literally the first fucking amendment (plus tons of contemporary writing from numerous founding fathers).

They are absolutely praying... Lots of embarrassed Christians in this thread desperate to distance themselves from their own religion.

Not to mention all of the slavery stuff...

Not a single Christian among them.

You don't get to decide this, regardless of how embarrassed you may be.

There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses.

Ezekial 23:20

(side note, while looking up this verse it brought me to biblegateway.com where it shows dozens of translations basically in a list, and here is what the MSG (The Message) version translated that one single sentence into:

“Her sister Oholibah saw all this, but she became even worse than her sister in lust and whoring, if you can believe it. She also went crazy with lust for Assyrians: ambassadors and governors, military men smartly dressed and mounted on fine horses—the Assyrian elite. And I saw that she also had become incredibly filthy. Both women followed the same path. But Oholibah surpassed her sister. When she saw figures of Babylonians carved in relief on the walls and painted red, fancy belts around their waists, elaborate turbans on their heads, all of them looking important—famous Babylonians!—she went wild with lust and sent invitations to them in Babylon. The Babylonians came on the run, fornicated with her, made her dirty inside and out. When they had thoroughly debased her, she lost interest in them. Then she went public with her fornication. She exhibited her sex to the world. “I turned my back on her just as I had on her sister. But that didn’t slow her down. She went at her whoring harder than ever. She remembered when she was young, just starting out as a whore in Egypt. That whetted her appetite for more virile, vulgar, and violent lovers—stallions obsessive in their lust. She longed for the sexual prowess of her youth back in Egypt, where her firm young breasts were caressed and fondled.

How fucking creepy is that? First of all, the entire concept of this "translation" just seems like outright heresy, but what the fuck even is this?? Did the dude just read about massive dongs and it got him all horny so he wrote some Bible fanfiction in the middle of his "translation"?

Absolutely wild.
