    Let’s put the blame where it belongs. Asshole narcissists who want to control everyone by any means, whether it be force, deception, or a twisted interpretation of religion.

      Well sure, but you have to also remember that there is an entire country that bases its existence on the fact that their god gave them the right to that land, even if it means that nobody else can live there.

      I can agree with that, but a certain set of religions with thousands of years of history behind them certainly give a large number of these people a huge thing to hide behind and call it “religious persecution” when you point out their bigotry.

      In other words, they certainly don’t help the situation.
