Religion is perfect for making normal people act like a bunch of sociopaths.
” Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by rulers as useful.”
You gotta source that quote, fam. I wanna know ^^
I was hoping you guys might think I was clever enough to come up with it.
/s
“With or without religion, good people can behave well and bad people can do evil; but for good people to do evil - that takes religion.”
– Steven Weinberg
I tried to come up with a more palatable comment, and all I can think of to say is “fuck these stupid jackasses”.
It works for me.
Does this mean all of the protests from a few months back are done?
It’s got to be hard to maintain the momentum once the government decides they’re fine with murdering the protesters. The Iranian government also let women go without headscarves for this long, I imagine as a way to let the temperature cool. They never intended to repeal the law, only let the protests disperse letting the protesters think they’d won that small concession.
They’re probably banking on protesters not being able to use Twitter to organize.
Religion.what a fucking joke.
“morality” 🤣😂😭
💀
Hopefully they protest even harder now, but we’ll see.
As I said months ago. In a war between the diet version of something and the pure version, the diet one always loses.
It wasnt about a secular government and freedom to not worship, it was about the rules being relaxed a bit. You don’t fight to the death for showing your hair you fight to the death for sky-daddy.
Until they are willing to burn korans they will continue to live in a theocratic state.
What are the Democrats the diet version of?
Well the republicans aren’t the diet version of anything. 6 years ago they were diet nazis and now they’ve gone full retard nazi.
Begging the question.
I’m not debating anything you said, just making conversation. I liked your idea of diet vs. pure, but wasn’t able to figure out if it fits into American politics as they currently exist.
I think it doesn’t, because Dems aren’t very well characterized by the “pure/diet” dichotomy.
corporate butt-kissers (as in: the republicans are deeper up corporate anuses)
Since Iranian men can’t control themselves, women have to cover up.
A lot of the protesters were also men. Several of them had been shot and killed
Dumb question, but the headscarf’s purpose is to cover the women’s hair, right? So what if all protesting women go bald to piss the religious guys off, would that work?
good, they take their religion seriously unlike certain group of people.
I agree it should be taken seriously. Just like cancer and global warming. Any active threat to humans should be given a great deal of attention.
Religious fundamentalism is a poison, that should not exist. Pure and simple. Freedom to the Iranian women.
