          That’s a problem felt throughout society because of the reaction we were taught to give in relation to Islam and Judaism and because of a power dynamic.

          You’re a Nazi antisemitic dickhole if you criticize Judaism in the US and you’re a xenophobic islamaphobe if you criticize Islam in the US, but because Christianity has enjoyed the position of power it has in the US it’s ok to “punch up” as it were.

          I hate them all equally, but just hope people separate the people practicing the religion from the religion itself. I hate organized religion, not religious people of any religion.

            I’d quibble with you here that there actually are an alarming number of antisemitic nazis and xenophobic islamophobes in the US, primarily among Christians. Criticisms of all heinous religious practices will quickly devolve into bigots chiming in to complain about their personal ignorance. There is so much overlap between various religious beliefs and practices that practically any criticism of faith is valid against just about all religions. So most of the time, if you are singling out one particular sect or ethnicity, it’s because of prejudice against those people.

            Targeting Christianity ensures that you’re not singling out one particular ethnicity or nationality, and it’s far less likely to attract bigoted sympathies.

          Idk why maybe cause the us is more popular on the internet and Christianity is the most popular religion there? When I used rrddit and had traveled to India there was this united states of India subreddit and many people were complaining about stuff like forced ear piercing in females due to religion and stuff.

      Unless you got yours done by a rabbi using his teeth, your opinion doesn’t matter on this topic.

      And I’m sorry, but a parent’s religion shouldn’t be more important than the child’s right to choose if they have their whole dick.
