    Respectfully, you think I’m denigrating Islam because it’s different from what I believe?

    No.

    I’m simply pointing out what, to anyone who wasn’t raised in it, is obvious stupidity.

      Sorry if I misunderstood. I interpreted your comment as saying that all religion was moronic bullshit, which would be in line with what I said.

      If you meant that this particular religious behavior is moronic bullshit, I completely agree. I just don’t hold the view that every religious person is a moron because they believe in a religion.

        All religions are moronic bullshit. People are free to believe what they like, no one has a need for rules that tell them how to believe.

        Not all religion is bullshit, but there is a lot of crossover between religious teachings and bullshit. That’s why they invented the word ‘faith’, because they are self-aware of the incredulousness of it all.

        Like the utter bullshit in this article, as if 7th Century teachings have anything to say about VPN’s.
