    And the 1 century death cult is better in what way exactly? Just wanna remind you that those modesty rules where prevalent in Christianity as well as. Maybe not always to the same degree but the church had very interesting thoughts about woman wearing pants or showing their ankles.

    If you are religious, no matter the denomination, you‘d better not be poking fun at other religions for their quirks. Yours is just as silly and baseless as the others.

    Also, not all muslims follow those strict rules just as very few christians would still shun you for eating shrimp or living with someone before marriage.

      I don’t like OP’s strangely aggressive takes here, or their general lack of empathy in this regard, but I did not see them mentioning being a Christian or anything else, so this is just a moot and as such, an embarrassingly rehearsed point to raise.

      “Someone else is almost as bad as this” is not the defense you may think it is. And I would bet most people on lemmy are either agnostic or atheist. So that’s just a hit and a miss as a whole.

          I feel for the sentiment and agree on most other occasions, but this one is literally about hiding your entire body, and in the current state of the world, the only ones having that very rule happen to also be the almost any other time too eagerly singled out “brown people”, as you said.

          It’s not unfairly singling out, if it regards a thing only the target of the critique do.

      Yes Christianity is also bad. Same with Judaism or any other religions. Most of them are death cults
