    We are not happy with that. We are ashamed of that. But [under] the jury system, you have to follow the laws, and I cannot tell a judge [to] do that and ignore the law, because… that’s against the rule of law," he said.

    Listen: I don’t make the rules, I just think them up and write them down.

    Before anyone comes in with “Religion of Peace” statements: Conservative Christians would do the same if they were in charge. Or in fact any hardliner + religion combo.

    The Authoritarin Aspect is more the problem, then religion. But yes Religion is very susceptible to this.

      Does anyone else feel like most other countries have kind of tilted towards the “American right” in the last few decades? Even France is not safe with its “if you don’t like it you can leave.” The issue is world wide and is bigger than religion.

      It’s like conservatism is a pandemic.

          Thank you for the better terminology. However, it doesn’t make me feel any better to know how long this has been going on.

          Edit: Trying to be more clear.

        Yeah, in Spain the main rightwing party is shifting more and more towards Trumpism, while the ultrarightwing party, Vox, has always been a bad copy of Trumpism.

      So fuck all religions.

      Science and statistics should be the only resource we refer to when creating legislation. Perfect.

      Now if only we could get the rest of the fucking world on board and actually have a separation of churches and states.

        What science? The leader of the most powerful nation on the planet denied COVID existed, wanted people to drink bleach and incited violence against Chinese Americans because he wanted someone on the chopping block for his failure to recognise the pandemic as a legitimate problem and not a conspiracy to undermine his tenure as President.

        The reason the world is actually dying right now; the reason humans are headed towards a self-inflicted extinction event, is because science is dead where it matters most.

        Sure, separate Church from State, but we’re kidding ourselves if we believe for a second that we’re going to adopt science instead.

    Those craaaaazy Muslims are at it again. What did the girl tweet, ‘I am a human with rights that need to be respected, not a man’s property’ or something outrageous like that?

      This is an issue with authoritarianism. I don’t think it’s ever accurate or useful blanket blaming Muslims.

      (P.S let’s not forget many of our countries buy Saudi oil, we’re funding this regime and what it does.)

      Islam is being used as a tool by these evil people to control the masses. Islam does not support any of these ideas of belittling woman, infact it empowers them instead as it gives them more rights and freedom than men in many cases.
