if your dad wants your wife you are supposed to give ** it** to him

I do hope that referring to a woman as "it" was a typo. However, seeing the context, I have my doubts.

Pretty sure it was intentional

What a sick way to look at women.

Religion - the shitstain on humanity.

Well well, another case of misunderstanding islam

Not only you, but the man in the news as well

that dad who raped his daughter in law should be stoned to death in the first place, according to the law

Doesn't that only apply if there are 4 male witnesses?

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

True enough, but that doesn't mean you can't punish it if you can't find four witnesses.

[–] xkforce@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

4 male witnesses because women are still considered property like this is still the 1500s. Fuck I hate religion.

My personal opinion is that Abrahamic religions have brought nothing but opportunistic immorality into humanity. The massive majority of followers are good people that have done a lot of good under their respective religion. But in the end, we've never needed young religions like these to be humane. A side-effect is the immoral using religion to get away with immorality because, quite often, the Abrahamic god has been written to support it.

Other older religions have their own downfalls, but from what we can tell, they weren't invented by a small collective of individuals or micro-society trying to get an advantage on others.

I'd also like to point out I was a Christian for two decades and studied it a lot with plans of being a pastor. Eventually the study opens your eyes and you can't be a part of it anymore.

Sorry. I'm like six wines deep...

organized religions. some religions know their place and thus are kept out of politics.
